District President of Youth Congress Condemns Choudhary Akram’s Controversial Statements

GNS ONLINE NEWS PORTAL

POONCH APRIL 21:–In a dramatic turn of events, the tranquil political landscape of Poonch has been stirred by a wave of accusations and condemnations. Zulfiqar Ahmed, the District President of Youth Congress, has vehemently denounced Choudhary Akram, a prominent figure associated with the National Conference (NC), for what he terms as ‘hypocrisy’ and ‘frustration-driven statements.’

The controversy erupted following Choudhary Akram’s public declaration asserting the similarity between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), despite being aligned with the former in a political alliance. Ahmed wasted no time in labeling Akram’s remarks as “immature” and reflective of personal frustration stemming from electoral setbacks.

Highlighting Akram’s defeat in the District Development Council (DDC) elections against a youthful contender from Surankote, Ahmed attributed the loss to a dwindling support base, which he claims was inherited from Akram’s late father, Choudhary Mohd Aslam, a revered figure within the Congress ranks.

Adding fuel to the fire, Ahmed called upon Akram to issue a formal apology and clarify his stance on the contentious statement. Failure to do so, Ahmed cautioned, would cast doubts on Akram’s suitability to campaign for Mian Altaf, a prominent Congress candidate, as he equated the Congress with the BJP.

The unfolding saga takes a twist with revelations about Akram’s history of party-switching, suggesting a penchant for power and political opportunism. This revelation further underscores the charged atmosphere surrounding the political discourse in Poonch.
