SRINAGAR: Senior congress leader and Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) Vice Presidents Ghulam Nabi Monga has said that whatever Vikramaditya Singh says is not Congress party’s stand adding that Congress party always respect martyrs of 13 July 1931.
While speaking to News Agency Press Trust of Kashmir Monga said Vikramaditya Singh is not a congress leader, he was a Member of Legislative council of PDP then he resigned from PDP and joined congress to contest election in Parliamentary polls.
Monga said, “It’s highly condemnable what he said and he is unaware about the martyrs of 13 July 1931. He should check the historical background of 13 July 1931”.
“On 13 July 1931, plunder, loot and rape by criminals & jail breakers in Srinagar city was put to an end. It is a blot on J&K that is glorified as State Martyrs Day,” Vikramaditya Singh tweets read.
In July 1931, around 23 people were killed by Dogra forces outside the Srinagar Central Jail when they were giving a call for “Nimaz Azan”, the complainant pointed out, seeking registration of an FIR against Vikramaditya Singh for his tweets. (PTK)
