'Thought Process With Congress Wasn't Aligning': Karan Singh's Son Vikramaditya Singh Resigns From Congress

Congress veteran Karan Singh's son Vikramaditya Singh said the Congress was not able to realise the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

New Delhi: After resigning from the Congress on Tuesday, Congress veteran Karan Singh's son Vikramaditya Singh said his thought process with the party wasn't aligning.

He also said that the Congress was not able to realise the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

"My thought process with Congress wasn't aligning, be it supporting Balakot airstrikes after the Pulwama attack or supporting the abrogation of Article 370 or 35A. It isn't just about J&K, it's also about national interests. Congress hasn't given any response," ANI quoted Vikramaditya Singh as saying.

He had joined the Congress in October in 2018. Vikramaditya is the elder son of Congress veteran Karan Singh and grandson of last Dogra ruler Maharaja Hari Singh.

"I joined Congress in 2018 with expectations that Congress will take steps on aspirations of the J&K public. I suggested organisational changes, but it was upsetting when I saw no changes post 2-3 years," Singh further said.

In fact, the Congress's G-23 has also been demanding an organisational overhaul and has been critical of the party leadership following a string of poll losses.

"There are many accomplished Congress leaders in G23. Ignoring them is a big mistake. If you don't change with time, don't keep public and youth aspirations in mind, you'll fade away. If a group has emerged to give suggestions to high command, party should cooperate," he said.

On the 'Kashmir Files' issue, Singh said the Congress was still in denial and was not accepting the repercussions of the Kashmiri genocide.

"I haven't watched the film 'The Kashmir Files'...but I was in Srinagar till 1989... It's sad that Congress is still in denial & is not accepting the repercussions of the Kashmiri genocide," he said.

Vikramaditya Singh had joined the PDP in August 2015 and was a member of the state Legislative Council. He resigned from the party in October 2017.
