The AICC Joint Secretary then discussed structural issues within the party and stated that the party must strengthen it’s organizational infrastructure, starting from the ground level and the booth-level and work our way up. He added that booth-level committees will be formed and those who perform well and in the favour of the party and the public will be encouraged and promoted. ‘We want youth members to step out and raise their voice on the podium of the party. Youth members and young leaders will be encouraged and given opportunity to take part in elections and electoral processes.’, he stated. He also commented on the state of affairs in the country stating that the country is plagued by a lot of serious issues such as security issues and unemployment. The party will take necessary steps to uplift the youth in the party as well as in the society simultaneously to counter these issues, he said.

He stated that the party will press for better governance in Jammu and Kashmir and encouraged the participants in the meeting to intensify their campaign against the failures of the BJP Government in the UT. The youth congress is an extremely important branch of the party and all youth members must extend their complete support to the party’s movements and ideologies. He said that the party has put in place a systematic process to reward those who perform well and help to bolster the party at the ground level. At the same time, Congress is making strong attempts to bring much needed reforms in the country. In the same vein, he added, the party is raising it’s voice against the inhumane and extremely unfortunate selective killings that are happening in Kashmir and will continue to do so until the government takes some visible and legitimate actions for the safety and security of the people. They should take responsibility for these incidents and formulate a plan to ensure people that history won’t repeat itself.
