J&K Congress Top Leadership Not Invited to Official Independence Day Functions, Says Chief Spokesperson

News 18  

The Jammu and Kashmir Congress on Saturday accused the Union Territory Administration of not inviting the party's top leaders to attend official Independence Day functions. "It is unfortunate that the UT administration did not extend any invitation to the JKPCC leadership, including president G A Mir and other top functionaries in Srinagar and Jammu, for the flag hoisting and at home functions," party's Chief Spokesperson Ravinder Sharma said in a statement here. "Mir, who was in Verinag area of Anantnag, was not permitted to proceed to Srinagar party headquarters for flag hoisting due to security reasons," he said, adding the other senior leaders attended the function in Srinagar party office, where Srinagar district president Abdul Gani Khan unfurled the national flag. "Even the Raj Bhawan used to seek the list of prominent leaders of each political party and other social, cultural and trade organizations for extending invitations for the flag hoisting ceremony and at home functions every year in advance and cards used to be sent to party headquarters well in time or respective residences of senior leaders," he said.
