Congress to support NC’s Rajya Sabha candidates

Srinagar: After threadbare discussion, the Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee, headed by its Chief Tariq Hameed Karra on Thursday announced its support to the National Conference (NC) candidates in Rajya Sabha elections.

In a statement issued the party said that after two rounds of deliberations since yesterday and following detailed consultations with the central leadership, who had sought certain clarifications and inputs from them, the party has collectively arrived at a decision.

“Taking into account our sensitivities as a suffering state and our identity as a tested voice for a diverse and secular India, the Congress Party has decided to keep all differences with the National Conference on the back burner—solely to reaffirm our commitment to our own ethos and principles,”
