The political situation in Jammu & Kashmir and the security issues in the Northeast, as well as the Naga Peace Accord were some of the key discussions that took place during the Congress’s CWC meet on Sunday. Senior party leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, former Deputy CM of Manipur Gaikhangam, Assam PCC president Ripun Borah, J&K PCC president Ghulam Ahmad Mir, and Arunachal PCC chief Takam Sanjay were those who addressed those issues.
The discussion on the current situation in Jammu & Kashmir was initiated by UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi. Azad, former CM of the state, suggested that while the Congress has been attacking the BJP for the current situation in the state, the PDP should not be left untouched. He is believed to have suggested that the PDP won on three planks: that it will defeat the BJP, that the Congress is weak and that the National Conference had anti-incumbency going against it.
Azad also said that the Congress is the only party that won seats in all the three areas of the state -- Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. He further added that there is an opportunity in the two unfulfilled promises of the BJP -- that it will give Union Territory status to Ladakh and that it will solve the Kashmiri Pandits. Azad also said that the BJP will use J&K as a communal plank in the 2019 elections, given the Muslim-majority population in the state.
Leaders from the Northeast pointed at the burning issues of the NRC, the Citizenship Amendment Bill and the Naga Peace Agreement. Former Manipur minister Gaikhangam spoke of the apprehension in Manipur over the Naga Peace Agreement, and urged the party leaders to take it up with the Centre. He also spoke of the contentious issue of the ‘shifting’ border pillars on the Indo-Myanmar border as well as the Citizenship Amendment Bill. The unrest in the Manipur University was also part of Gaighangam’s speech.
Assam PCC chief Ripun Borah spoke of the need for a concerted strategy to counter the BJP’s Northeast Democratic Alliance, fronted by former Congressman Himanta Biswa Sarma. He also spoke of the trouble brewing in the state over the updating of the National Register of Citizens, as well as the Citizenship Amendment Bill.
Arunachal PCC chief Takam Sanjoy said that the party should speak prominently about the security issues on the Indo-China border in the state. He also stressed on the need of a grassroots campaign to win back the electorate in the state where over 90% of the leaders have deserted it in the last few years.
