Rahul to meet professionals from various sectors in J&K next week
Rahul who is on a campaign trail in J&K, where assembly polls are being held, will meet professionals in the UT to get a better understanding of their challenges
To understand the challenges facing them, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will meet with professionals from various sectors in Jammu on September 25.
This will work as a platform for an open dialogue wherein the professionals can talk about the challenges they face in Jammu and Kashmir. This will help to allow their voices to be heard at the national level.
Exclusive meet
Head of the Jammu and Kashmir unit of the All India Professionals' Congress (AIPC) Sanjay Sapru said the meet titled 'Dogri Dham' will take place during the campaign trail of the Leader of the Opposition in the Union territory.
Rahul will also hold professional meets in Srinagar to better understand the issues confronting these communities.
"We are organising an exclusive meeting of professionals from Jammu and Kashmir with LoP Rahul Gandhi on September 25 in Jammu," Sapru told PTI.
He emphasised that the event is a pivotal opportunity for professionals to engage in an open dialogue about significant challenges in the region, offering a platform for their concerns to be raised at the national level.
"For the first time, a political platform like AIPC is offering professionals the chance to directly share their concerns, aspirations, and ideas," Sapru added.
Shaping J&K's future
Rahul's involvement underscores the growing recognition of the professional community’s importance in shaping Jammu and Kashmir's future, Sapru said.
He said professionals will have the opportunity to discuss issues related to economic development, employment opportunities, industry-specific challenges, and innovation, while collaborating on potential solutions.
"We have invited professionals to join this critical conversation and contribute to shaping the future of Jammu and Kashmir," he said.
Following the Jammu event, similar gathering will be organised in Kashmir, Sapru said adding the date is being finalised.
Rahul's campaign schedule
Rahul is also scheduled to campaign for Congress candidates in Srinagar and Jammu, addressing public rallies in the twin cities over the next few days.
On September 23, Gandhi will address a public rally in support of J-K Congress unit president and former minister Tariq Hamid Karra in Shalteng constituency in Srinagar, and another in the Surankote constituency in Poonch district during the second phase of the Jammu and Kashmir elections, a party leader said.
He is also expected to address a public rally in Jammu on September 25.
Earlier this month, Rahul kick-started the Congress party's campaign for the Jammu and Kashmir assembly polls with two public rallies on September 4 in Ramban district's Gool area and Anantnag district's Dooru area.
These rallies were held in support of former J-K Congress chief Vikar Rasool Wani and AICC General Secretary and former Minister G A Mir.
The assembly elections in the UT are being held after a gap of 10 years.
