Post Art 370 J&K equitably empowered: Rana, Pawan

editor October 9, 2023

UDHAMPUR: Senior BJP leaders Pawan Gupta and Devender Singh Rana today described the political developments of August 5, 2019 as the beginning of a new era in Jammu and Kashmir with people of both regions getting equal opportunities in political discourse and ending the hegemony of selected few. They claimed that J&K has been equally empowered politically, socially, and economically post abrogation of Article 370. The two leaders stated the people in this region of the country demanded a change in the stereotypical political management, which had remained the province of the privileged few and benefited the elite political class alone, when speaking to a public gathering at Jhib Thathi in Udhampur this afternoon.Gupta credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visionary leadership for bringing about such a significant transformation, saying the people of Jammu and Kashmir are now boldly looking towards their economic freedom and political empowerment after escaping the confines of hopelessness. According to Gupta, the BJP has been operating in mission mode to satisfy the ambitions of all social groups, regardless of religion, region, or caste. For the BJP, politics is a means of serving the populace and guiding the country to new heights of growth and progress. He continued, "This is what the world has been witnessing with envy as India's stature is growing in every field." He made reference to the people-friendly policies of the current administration, which put people first and are geared towards the welfare and advancement of all social groups. Devender Rana, who spoke at the event, showed confidence in the ability of Jammu and Kashmir to advance and develop under the strong leadership of Narendra Modi, who has emerged as a worldwide figurehead and to whom nations on all continents seek for guidance in addressing issues that affect them. He made reference to the Prime Minister's pioneering role in the war situation in Ukraine and the safe passage of Indians and others by defeating both foes in this context. Back home, he cited important efforts like the women's reservation bill and asserted that they will revolutionise the political empowerment of almost half the population. The lives of the people, according to Rana, have been changed by other ground-breaking programmes like Ayushman Bharat, One Nation-One Ration Card, StartUp, Digital Bharat, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, Jan Dhan Yojana, Izzat Ghar project, and many more. As part of a special dispensation, he claimed, over 50 crore families nationwide, including the entire population of Jammu and Kashmir, are eligible for the health coverage of Rs 5 lakh apiece. According to him, the Prime Minister's dedication to the general welfare keeps every employee on mission to fulfil his dream of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Pryas, and Sabka Vishwas. The Prime Minister, he claimed, is guiding India towards becoming the Vishwa Guru. He stated that Bharat is now aiming to be one of the top three economic powers in the world over the next few years, adding that this will occur as Modi Hai Tu Mumkin Hai. Bharat just surpassed China to become the fifth economic power in the world. Lal Chand, DDC Chairman, DDC Members Ashu Sharma, Pinky Devi, Puran Chand Sharma, Balwan Singh, BDC Chairman, MC chairman Dr. Jogeshwar Gupta, Councillors Subash Gupta, Anil Arora, and Shashi Pal Sharma were prominent attendees on the occasion.

Opposition dharna in Jammu to highlight public desire for restoration of democracy in J&K: Congress

editor October 8, 2023

JAMMU: Vikar Rasool Wani, the president of the Jammu and Kashmir Congress, stated on Sunday that the opposition parties' planned dharna here on October 10 is intended to convey the message that people desire the return of electoral democracy in the Union territory. Senior Congress officials were gathered at the Jammu headquarters of the party, and Wani addressed them there. He urged them to participate in the peaceful joint dharna that would likely take place in Maharaja Hari Singh Park. "A substantial number of leaders and employees will attend the protest, despite the fact that the dharna is merely symbolic and not a demonstration of force. The INDIA alliance's leadership will be summoned here later, he promised. The opposition parties, according to the Congress leader, arranged the demonstration during a recent meeting in order to emphasise their "burning issues" and to call for the quick restoration of democracy as well as the rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. "People are suffering under the bureaucratic regime for more than five years while the lieutenant governor is claiming that 80 per cent of people are happy with the present dispensation," he stated."In order to counter this kind of narrative, the united opposition through this peaceful dharna, wants to send a clear and loud message that the people of Jammu and Kashmir want early restoration of democracy and to have their elected government apart from other democratic and constitutional rights," he stated. According to Raman Bhalla, working president of the Jammu and Kashmir Congress, the populace wants panchayat and urban local body elections as well as immediate holding of the assembly elections and the restoration of the state's independence. He asserted that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will be defeated and that the Bharatiya Janata Party (Centre) and the administration led by the lieutenant governor are purposefully not holding the assembly elections.
