In a significant political development in Srinagar, several influential residents from the Lal Chowk Assembly Constituency formally joined the Indian National Congress today, signaling a strategic reinforcement of the partyโs local presence.
The induction event, thoughtfully organized by Congress leader and Kashmir Media Coordinator Dr. Audil Farooq Mir Lasjan, marked a key moment in the partyโs efforts to expand its grassroots footprint in the region.
The ceremony saw participation from senior party figures, including Srinagar District President Irfan Naqib and senior district leader Er. Danish Reshi, both of whom warmly welcomed the new members into the party fold.
Addressing the gathering, Dr. Audil underscored the importance of community-focused political work.
โThe Congress Party upholds a proud legacy of inclusive governance and citizen-centric policies. At a time when genuine political discourse is often replaced by drama and hollow rhetoric, it is vital to return to core democratic valuesโlistening to the people, addressing their concerns with sincerity, and earning trust through visible, consistent action,โ he said.
District President Irfan Naqib echoed this sentiment, reaffirming the partyโs commitment to long-term democratic development.
โOur priority is to build strong civic institutions from the ground up, not to chase fleeting headlines with empty promises,โ he noted.
In his message to the new entrants, Dr. Audil called for ongoing grassroots involvement.โI urge all of you joining us today to remain continuously engaged in your communitiesโnot just during election seasons, but every day. True leadership is rooted in constant presence and service,โ he emphasized.
The new members expressed full confidence in the Congress Partyโs ideology and vision. They pledged their dedication to the partyโs values and their commitment to contributing to its development agenda.
