The Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee Thursday claimed over 100 prominent workers of the PDP and National Conference have joined its ranks in Uri Tehsil of Baramulla district.
"Hundred workers from the NC and PDP today joined the Congress party at a function presided over by senior party leader Taj Mohiuddin in Uri," said a JKPCC statement.

Mohiuddin was also quoted as saying that the Congress believes in uniting people and it would continue to bridge the gaps among the communities, created by "divisive forces to serve their vested interests.
