Outsider in Congress
A
non-state subject making all efforts to appease a former Congress minister
has drawn flak. Party leaders and activists have asked top leadership to take
a note of it or face the music.

Seeking anonymity, a senior leader of Congress informed
Early Times that these days a non- state subject businessman has become an
important office bearer in District Congress Jammu and has been appeasing a
former Congress Minister since last many months. "Openly appeasing
ex-minister by wishing Happy Diwali, New Year beside other occasions, has
raised many eye brows with some serious questions over the intention of the
businessman", the Congress insider said.
He also alleged that the businessman was also too close
to a PDP leader who was also helping him in exchange for the favours extended
to the leader during 2014 elections. "Now this PDP leader is helping him
by using political contacts", he added.
He also stated that it was not first time the hording
were erected along roadsides by the businessman. He had also raised a big
hording with large portrait of the Congress senior leader at various crossings
of Gandhi Nagar constituency. "One such hoarding was removed within days
as some party leaders objected to it" he alleged.
According to government official, number of outsiders
are doing business in the State because of their powerful nexus with
politicians and bureaucrats. Due to lethargic approach of successive
governments, non PRC as well as fake PRC holders are working over night to
appease Political leaders of the State to register themselves in their good
books and become permanent resident of the State with their help.
According to government data, more than 150 outsiders
have succeed to get PRC of Jammu and Kashmir State without any trouble and
interestingly the state government reportedly put the recommendations of
cancelling PRC of outsiders into cold storage due to strong lobby of these
non-local businessmen.
