Mussoorie, 9 Nov: On the 26th anniversary of the founding of Uttarakhand state, Congress workers paid homage to the martyrs of the statehood movement at the Mussoorie Martyrs’ Memorial by lighting candles and offering floral tributes. During the event, a pledge was taken to continue the struggle to realise the Uttarakhand envisioned by the martyrs.
Congress leader Upendra Thapli and City Congress President Amit Gupta accused the BJP government of disregarding the aspirations of the statehood agitators and the martyrs. They asserted that no concrete steps have been taken to serve the state’s interests under BJP rule. Even today, statehood agitators are still fighting for official recognition and due respect, while the families of many martyrs have not even been granted the status of ‘statehood agitator’. Citing the Ankita Bhandari case, the Congress leaders questioned the delay in justice, alleging that corruption is on the rise in the state and that there is a continuous exodus of people from the hill regions. They remarked that the vision with which Uttarakhand was created remains unfulfilled. Urging the public to oust the BJP government, they claimed that the Congress would secure an absolute majority in the upcoming 2027 assembly elections. They promised that upon forming the government, the Congress would work toward realizing the Uttarakhand envisioned by the martyrs, honoring the statehood agitators, and fulfilling their long-pending demands.
Present on the occasion were Congress workers Nagendra Uniyal, Rajiv Agarwal, Prashant Khanduri, Bhupendra Mal, and Akhilesh Panwar among many others.
