Dhanbad/Dumka: Terming naxalism as the
foremost challenge before Jharkhand, Congress president Sonia
Gandhi on Friday said violence cannot be a solution to any problem
and that everything can be solved through dialogue.
"Non-violence is the only way to solve all problems.
The Congress believes that problems can be solved peacefully
and through dialogue," Gandhi said while addressing poll
meetings in Dhanbad and Dumka.
This state (Jharkhand) has many challenges in hand
with "naxalism being the foremost."
"There is no place for violence in democracy," she
said, adding that youth have strayed away as they have been
deprived of proper education and employment.
"The Congress would address problems of everybody,"
Gandhi said and promised welfare to all sections of the
society, including tribals, dalits and backwards.
There would not be any displacement without proper
rehabilitation, she said.
Appealing to the people to vote for the Congress/JVM-P
to end political instability in the state, Gandhi, without
naming anybody, said some groups had only served their own
interests.
"Jharkhand needs a visionary leadership to change its
fate. The UPA at the Centre has showed its leadership since
2004, and got the mandate again," she said.
