He claimed this would revive the party in the region. He lamented that the party leadership was not in proper hands in the district.

SENIOR CONGRESS leader Rais Ahmad Khan said here that the party would organise a conference to felicitate those party leaders who were sent to jail in 1978.
He claimed this would revive the party in the region. He lamented that the party leadership was not in proper hands in the district. This was the reason Congress was not able to retain its lost ground in the region, he said.
Talking to mediapersons, Khan said people who had no ideology and Congress background, had captured the party and devoted party workers were feeling alienated and neglected. They had become inactive and the party had been marginalized, he claimed.
Responding to a question he said the objective of the conference was to reward the old and devoted party workers who had sacrificed their lives to strengthen the party.
He further said that a resolution would be passed in the conference, requesting the senior and inactive members of the party to come into action.
Khan said Congress had decided to go to the people. Party workers were raising the issues of corruption and lawlessness in almost every State department. The party had organised a dharna on August 23 at the district magistrate’s office, he said.
State secretary of UP Congress Committee minority cell Tauqir Alam said the SP government had ill-treated minorities.
The leaders also paid tributes to the Shahnai maestro Ustad Bismillah Khan on his sad demise.
