In a historic event, the Congress party held its first major rally in Srinagar in 37 years, addressed by Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi. The rally, organized by Pradesh Congress Committee president Tariq Hamid Karra, drew thousands of enthusiastic supporters.

Held at Zainakote on the outskirts of Srinagar, the rally was described by party leaders as a 'new dawn' for the Congress in Kashmir. Karra, who is contesting from the Central-Shalteng assembly segment, emphasized that this was a momentous occasion for the party. 'This event marks a historic moment, the first-of-its-kind in Srinagar since 1987. Let us make our voices heard and our presence felt,' he said.

Gandhi was greeted with high-pitch sloganeering, underlining his commitment to the region. 'Rahul Gandhi has shown that he is a true leader, focused on uplifting the backward and marginalized communities,' Karra declared, condemning the BJP for dividing the country on religious lines and urged attendees to vote for Congress.
