Youth Congress workers organised a convention in Banihal area of Ramban, which was followed by a protest demonstration against the Omar Abdullah-led government, accusing it of failing to fulfil its electoral promises and address pressing public issues. The convention was attended by former MLA Banihal and JKPCC Ex President Waqar Rasool Wani, Youth Congress J&K In-charge and National General Secretary Maan Singh Rathore, General Secretary and Co-Incharge J&K Harmeet Kour Brar, along with a large number of Youth Congress workers from across the region. After the convention, Youth Congress activists marched through Banihal town and staged a protest, during which they burnt the effigy of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and raised slogans against his government. Addressing the gathering, Youth Congress leaders said that rising unemployment, increasing inflation and soaring electricity bills have placed an unbearable burden on the common man. They alleged that despite tall promises made during elections, the government has failed to provide relief to the youth and economically weaker sections. The leaders warned that if the government does not take concrete steps to address these issues, the Youth Congress will intensify its protest campaign in the coming days.
