Jammu, January 21 (STC): In a sharp reaction to social media posts that Congress was contemplating to put an end to the alliance with the National Conference, the Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee president Tariq Hameed Karra termed it as “malicious” and “concocted.”
A local news gathering agency Kashmir News Observer (KNO), reports that the J&K Congress Chief said there was no truth in these reports and that Congress was committed to this alliance and in support of the present dispensation.
“These are just baseless, malicious, concocted, and constructed rumours. I don’t have much to say about it. This is not a thing to respond to,” Karra stated.
He, however, reiterated their principal demand for restoration of statehood and that they would not be a part of the cabinet unless statehood is restored. (STC)
