Ravinder Sharma said the participants expressed "full faith" in the leadership of Congress president Sonia Gandhi
The Jammu and Kashmir Congress on Thursday expressed "full faith" in the leadership of Sonia Gandhi, but appealed to her son Rahul Gandhi to lead the party as its chief to fight the "politics of vendetta" and "anti-people policies” of the BJP government.
This was stated in a resolution passed unanimously by the Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) on the second day of its two-day ‘Nav Sankalp’ meeting at Patnitop in Udhampur district, senior party leader Ravinder Sharma said.
Mr. Sharma, who is also the chief spokesperson of the JKPCC, said the participants expressed "full faith" in the leadership of Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
But they proposed that Rahul Gandhi should lead the party as the next supremo to “aggressively fight back the politics of vendetta and anti democratic and other anti people policies” of the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre, Mr. Sharma said.
The resolution was proposed by JKPCC president G.A. Mir and passed in the presence of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) in-charge of Jammu and Kashmir Rajni Patil, Rajya Sabha MP Ranjeet Ranjan, Congress Working Committee member Tariq Hameed Karra and all senior leaders of Jammu and Kashmir, Mr. Sharma said.
"The proceedings are still going on. The State level Nav Sankalp Shivar is being attended by most of the top brass of the party, including senior functionaries of JKPCC, district Presidents, former ministers, ex legislators and frontal heads from all parts of Jammu and Kashmir," Mr. Sharma said.
Mr. Sharma said the 'shivir' shall conclude on Thursday evening with the Patnitop declaration and resolutions on current situation, important public issues and organisational matters.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
