JAMMU: Ravinder Raina, the president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Jammu and Kashmir, stated during a press conference held at the party headquarters in Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, that the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done justice to all the sections of the state. Ravinder Raina was accompanied on the occasion by Surjit Singh Salathia, J&K BJP Vice-President; Adv. Vibodh Gupta, General Secretary; Dr. Devinder Kumar Manyal, General Secretary; and former Dy. Mayor Baldev Singh Billawaria.Ravinder Raina praised the Modi administration and expressed gratitude to Union Minister for Home Affairs Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the historic decision to nominate MLAs for the J&K Assembly, which was approved by the Lok Sabha. With this historic move, he said, women, refugees from PoJK, and Kashmiri displaced people would be able to nominate themselves as MLAs in the Jammu & Kashmir Assembly. "Throughout the years, a number of communities in the former state of Jammu & Kashmir experienced injustice, but their voices went unheard. The Modi government has now given these communities more clout because the elected MLAs can now speak out on their behalf in the Jammu & Kashmir Assembly, according to Raina.According to Ravinder Raina, these communities have endured numerous hardships over the years, including the displacement of communities from PoKK or Kashmir, but the Modi administration has now brought them justice. We are grateful to Prime Minister Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for their sincere efforts on behalf of these underserved communities during the Modi administration. Raina stated, "The Modi government has worked for every section and done justice to them because they believe in the mission of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwaas'." Raina went on to say that with the 33% reservation, the women would feel more empowered. PoJK refugees now experience empowerment. The Gujjar-Bakerwal and Gaddi-Sippi people have been granted political reservation, the SC ST Atrocities Act, and the Forest Rights Act. NC, Congress, and PDP plotted against these individuals in 2009, banning inter-district recruitment and displacing Gujjar-Bakerwals in the process. The Modi administration worked to bring justice to the Pahari community. He emphasised that their reservation will not take away any other community's allotment, emphasising that the Gujjar-Bakerwals' 10% reservation will not be diminished in any way. The OBC community, which is made up of about 40 subcastes, will also get justice. The PDP, Congress, and NC governments committed criminal injustice against this group for 70 years prior.In a similar vein, the Modi government's strong will would now guarantee justice for the Valmiki community. On behalf of all J&K citizens, Ravinder Raina praised the Modi government's choice and expressed gratitude to Amit Shah and PM Modi for the momentous choice. In reality, the Modi administration has brought justice to every community in Jammu and Kashmir that had been denied even the most basic of rights. He claimed that the government under Modi has worked to ensure the welfare of people from all walks of life and faiths. According to him, the people of Jammu and Kashmir have decided to support the BJP in the next Assembly election because they have a great deal of faith in the policies of the party and the Modi administration.According to him, the Modi administration has stated unequivocally that PoJK is ours, and the region has 24 seats set aside in the Jammu & Kashmir Assembly. In addition, he mentioned that PoJK Bhawan will soon be built nearby. [caption id="attachment_6865" align="alignnone" width="300"] Modi govt did justice to all sections in J&K: Raina[/caption]
