Jammu, June 4: Acting on the directions of Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President Shri Tariq Hameed Karra, the Congress Party along with Youth Congress activists today staged a strong protest against BJP MLA Vikram Randhawa for his derogatory remarks against senior Congress leaders Smt. Sonia Gandhi and Smt. Priyanka Gandhi.
The Congress leaders and workers assembled at Mishriwala in Jammu North constituency, which falls under District Jammu Rural and burnet the effigy of BJP MLA Vikram Randhawa.

Speaking to media persons, Shri Hari Singh Chib strongly condemned the BJP leader’s offensive comments and said that such statements not only reflect the BJP’s anti-women mindset but are also an insult to the democratic values of the nation. “We will not tolerate any attempt to defame our respected leaders. Sonia ji and Priyanka ji have earned the love and respect of the people through decades of dedicated public service,” he said.
