BJP strongly condemns Pak’s barbarism, Jehadi terrorism

Dr. Narinder Singh copyDr Narinder Singh, State General Secretary of Bharatiya Janata Party has strongly condemned the barbaric and uncivilised act of Pakistan Army wherein after a ceasefire violation its border action team mutilated the dead bodies of two Indian soldiers. He also condemned the killing of 7 innocent Kashmiri Muslims at Pulwama by jihadi terrorists while the former were performing their duty. He said looting of Rs. 50 lakh from the J&K Bank cash van and snatching of seven weapons is also a serious matter and threat to the security of common people. Dr. Singh questioned the alertness of the police in the area and said how could a day light robbery like this could take place? Dr Singh criticised the Kashmir based political leaders for their hypocrisy since none of them except the Honourable CM has condemned this barbaric act. They resort to issue of lengthy statements whenever a terrorist is killed but remain silent when our soldiers are martyred or innocent civilians are killed by the jehadi terrorists rued Dr Singh. He said it is obvious that their sympathies lie with the separatists and terrorists and they subscribe to the salafi jehadi philosophy of “either follow us, else be prepared to be killed.” He warned the Kashmiri leaders that their dual face has been exposed and their unconcern for the life of a common Kashmiri has become very obvious. “Beware, these venomous snakes you are sheltering and allowing to grow in your backyards will one day finish you only,” retorted Dr Narinder Singh.

Let the people decide, BJP rebuts opposition criticism

IMG_7238The opposition has been rattled by the growing graph of BJP not only in J&K but entire country which is visible from the unprecedented growth of the party. Shaken by the massive response of the people to the welfare oriented schemes and development projects undertaken, the opposition has resorted to its old trick of fabricated and baseless statements to mislead the public, said Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson, while addressing a Press Conference at the Party Headquarter today. Taking a serious note of the opposition’s allegation that BJP has done nothing for the Jammu region and has failed to carry out any development, Brig Gupta said that the opposition needs to shed its coloured vision and accept the ground realities. Jammu region under the leadership of BJP has undergone a face lift on developmental front, which it had not seen during the last forty years. Listing the various achievements sector wise Brig Gupta explained the unparalleled developmental activity that has taken place in Jammu Region. Under the Health Sector; AIIMS, 3 Medical Colleges, 3 Nursing Colleges, Ayurvedic College, Biotech Park, Model sub Divisional Hospital Basohli, Aromatic Medicinal Plant Project, 158 PG Seats in GMC Jammu.

As far as tourism is concerned more than 20 projects are in hand to make Jammu an independent tourist destination. Those questioning the intent of BJP need to ask the youth that has benefitted from Mudra Yojna or ask the poor women who have benefitted from Ujwala Scheme, ask the villagers whose villages have been electrified or have been provided road connectivity for the first time since independence retorted Brig Gupta. It is the public which will decide sincerity of BJP and not disgruntled, defeated leaders who have been rejected by the people by huge mandate against them, the spokesperson reminded to the opposition.

Farooq is a man of split personality: Prof. Virender

Prof. Virender Gupta“Farooq Abdullah, though has been elected in bi-election of Srinagar Parliamentary Constituency but this shall remain blot and slur on his personality and political career, the way he exploited the people, instigated them to resort to violence, supported anti-India forces by calling the present turmoil as a freedom struggle for Kashmir”, said Prof. Virender Gupta, the BJP State Spokesperson. He further added that this would go as a dark page in Indian Parliamentary history that a person of a stature, who remained Chief Minister of J&K State, many a times and who was Union Minister could stoop to such a low ebb of decency that he, in his public utterances, challenges the integrity of the country for whose top most body, he was seeking berth. He reminded Farooq Abdullah of the oath that he took as Chief Minister of the state, as Member of Parliament and also as a Union Minister on earlier occasions. On all these occasions, he pledged to uphold the Constitution of J&K State or that of India Union and promised to work for the integrity of the country. “Now he is again going to swear to uphold the Indian Constitution and sovereignty of the country and how he would reconcile with his two postures, one that he exhibited during his election campaign and other that he would go to adopt as Member of Indian Parliament, would these not be self contradictory”, Prof. Gupta asked. Prof. Gupta criticized Farooq Abdullah for shedding crocodile tears on the death of youth, when he himself was responsible for such causalities and manipulated the disruption and chaos on the election so that he could easily get through. He ridiculed his statement made after his victory that other Members from Jammu & Kashmir have failed to raise any of issues of Kashmir in Lok Sabha and he would raise the voice of Kashmir. “Was Farooq Abdullah questioning his and Omar’s role too, during their earlier tenures in Lok Sabha”, he said. Prof. Virender emphasized that Farooq Abdullah is a man of split personality, who has been wandering in search of his role with confused mind and contradictory perceptions.

BJP Government Making All Efforts Towards Creating a Strong India of Dr. Ambedkar’s Dreams: Vibodh.

IMG_9576Fulfilling Ambedkar’s Dreams Will Be a Real Tribute to Him : Vibodh In order to pay tributes to Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar on his birthday  a special function was organised at Thakar Duwara in Nowshera. The programme was organised by B R Ambedkar Movement and a large number of people driven from different walks of life participated in the programme. On this occasion BJP senior leader and MLC Vibodh Gupta was Chief Guest. Addressing the gathering Vibodh said that the year long celebrations which started last year by the BJP Government on the occasion of 125th birth aniversary of Babasaheb have culminated. This he said is historic as the earlier congress Government never paid any attention towards the contributions made by B R Ambedkar. While throwing light on the life of Ambedkar Vibodh said that B R Ambedkar, the principal architect of the Constitution of India, was born to a Mahar caste family on 14 April 1891 in Mhow (now known as Dr Ambedkar Nagar, Madhya Pradesh). His father worked in the army of British East India Company. As a child, Mr Ambedkar was not allowed to sit inside class because of his caste. Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar fought against 'untouchability' throughout his life. He played a major role in Mahatma Gandhi-led Harijan movement, protesting against social injustices faced by people from backward castes. He further added that Dr. Ambedkar , one of the architects of modern India was a great visionary and his futuristic thoughts are still very relevant to take India forward. Whenever the issue of equal rights to women came up, Babasaheb was clear that if women don't get equal rights then our society can not progress he added. In his address Vibodh also informed people about the launch of BHIM-Aadhar pay app by Hon’ble Pime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that this is also a great tribute to B R Ambedkar as this will allow people to make payments without using a smartphone. Instead, the app will enable payments through the fingerprint scanner, by authenticating the biometric details of a user with Aadhaar database. The app, which will be available for download to merchants across the country, will link your Aadhaar number and biometric fingerprint to complete a transaction. This will not only make cashless payment more prevalent but also possibly more easy and hassle-free. To enable the transactions through BHIM-Aadhar, merchants will have to purchase fingerprint scanners. On this occasion Chairman B R Ambedkar Movement Mr. Sanam B Raina also addressed the gathering. In his address he described Babasaheb as the voice of the poor and marginalised. He further added that B R Ambedkar always wanted people to be educated and he gave inner power to people by compelling people to be knowledgeable. SDM and SDPO Nowshera also present on the occasion.

Prof. Virender Gupta expressed his anguish and the distress on what happened in Srinagar Parliamentary Constituency

Prof. Virender GuptaState BJP Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta expressed his anguish and the distress on what happened in Srinagar Parliamentary Constituency, yesterday at the time of voting. He condemned the act of violence and disruption that was engineered by the Pakistan sponsored separatists, anti-national and disruptive forces who are against democratic process to flourish in the Valley. Prof. Virender Gupta blamed Farooq Abdullah and his party for their contribution in the happenings those took place during the day of voting. He said that on one hand Farooq Abdullah instigate the youth, prompt them for stone pelting calling them as Kashmiri nationalists fighting for the Kashmir Nation and thus support the continuation of the violence, whereas on other hand he calls for political solution of the Kashmir problem. He added that it is unfortunate that the person who remained Chief Minister of the State and the Union Minister is indulging in destructive politics for the sake of political mileage. He criticized Farooq Abdullah on the fact that in his pre-election speeches, he provoked the people against the State and Centre government and inspire them to revolt and indulge in violence acts so that he can get through safely in the Parliamentary elections. It is irony that leaders of the main opposition party, Congress that governed the country and state for a long period stood behind Farooq Abdullah and campaigned in his favour. It is astonishing that the person who is responsible for the situation blames the government and Election Commission of India for their failure in creating conducive atmosphere for polling and for handling the situation. The BJP Spokesperson questioned that who was responsible for the loss of lives and the injuries that people including the security persons got in the violence that inspired on the election day or during the period of upsurge of violence. Should not the separatist and the political leaders like Farooq Abdullah own the responsibility who are trying to rebuild their political career on the sufferings and agonies of the people. Prof. Virender reminded Farooq Abdullah about the situation prevailing in 1996 and the percentage of votes polled when he regained power in the state. He also reminded him of the percentage of votes polled in 2008 elections too when NC again regained power of the state.

In 1975, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi imposed a state of emergency. In 1977, the emergency was withdrawn and general elections were held. The Jana Sangh merged with parties from across the political spectrum, including the Socialist Party, the Congress (O) and the Bharatiya Lok Dal to form the Janata Party, with its main agenda being defeating Indira Gandhi. The Janata Party won a majority in 1977 and formed a government with Morarji Desai as Prime Minister. In April 1980, Janata Party banned its members from being 'dual members' of party and the RSS.

JKPCC President should refresh his memory: Prof. Virender

Prof. Virender GuptaBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta while commenting on the statement of JKPCC President & Candidate for parliamentary constituency of Anantnag that peace in sub continent lies in the resolution of Kashmir issue and that Centre government has no roadmap to deal with the Kashmir situation and to resolve the Kashmir issue, said the President of state unit of Congress should refresh his memory as the Congress party remained at helm of the affairs both at the Centre and the state for most of the time and for the ten years before 2014 it was ruling at the Centre and for the 12 years before 2015 it was partner in the state government. He asked him to throw the light on the policy of the Congress party and the efforts that it put to resolve the Kashmir issue and diffuse the situation in the valley. The fact of the matter is that Jammu and Kashmir problem is the creation of its leaders, in particular of Pt. Nehru and Indira Gandhi the subsequent other leaders further contributed in complicating the Kashmir issue. Prof. Virender also condemned the recent varied statements of Farooq Abdullah wherein he offers to join the separatists to fight for the Azadi of Kashmir, supports the stone pelters, plays communal card, instigates the Kashmiri youth, raises the bogey of Kashmir identity, culture that, as per his statement is being threatened by the BJP government at the centre. He reminded Farooq Abdullah that at one time his party was in alliance with BJP government at the Centre and his son, Omar was member of the Cabinet. He said that at that time he cherished the desire to become the Vice-President of India, which displays his lust for chair. While castigating Farooq Abdullah, Prof. Virender Gupta reminded the people that it was same Farooq who, time and again, deserted the people of Kashmir whenever they were in crisis. Hence, Farooq has no moral authority to claim to be the representative of the people of valley, who have suffered loss of previous lives and properties during all these years of across the borders sponsored terrorism against whom the vocal leaders like Farooq Abdullah never uttered a single word of condemnation.

Farooq playing communal card to lure voters: Dr. Narinder

Dr. Narinder Singh copyLashing out at Farooq Abdullah, NC President & candidate for Srinagar Parliamentary Constituency, the State BJP has charged the NC leader of playing communal card for vote bank politics and termed the same as most unfortunate kind of mean to lure the voters. Statements on the basis of religion during the poll campaigning need to be taken cognizance by the Election Commission and action be initiated for such act. BJP State General Secretary Dr. Narinder Singh, while condemning the use of religion by Farooq Abdullah during election public meeting in Kangan, said that such type of politics is not healthy as it may lead to hatred and divide among people of different faiths. He said that religion should not be the mean to seek votes but one’s programmes for the people should be highlighted by any contesting candidate. He said that by openly seeking support from Jamaat-e-Islami on the name of Islam to cater to his own personal need of winning this election by polarizing the peace loving communities Farooq Abdullah has committed a sin in the eye of society as well as law of land. Dr. Narinder Singh reminded the people of the valley that the NC leaders change colours like chameleons and always try to mislead the innocent voters on one pretext or the other. Such party and its candidates should be shown the door for strengthening the social bonds and maintain communal harmony. Dr. Narinder Singh said that the Congress also owe an explanation and need to clear its stand whether it believes in politics based on religion and caste as Congress senior leader Ghulam Nabi Azad had shared dais with the Farooq Abdullah when the NC candidate sought votes from the people by using religion as a mean to attract them towards him. The Congress, if disagree with the views of Farooq Abdullah, it should seek an apology from the people of the state. Silence on part of the Congress would mean that it is no different from the NC and endorses whatever Farooq Abdullah have been saying in public rallies.

Farooq should elaborate resolution on K issue: Prof. Virender

Prof. Virender GuptaBJP State Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta, in a statement, asked NC President Farooq Abdullah to make clear his stand on the resolution of Kashmir issue. “What type of political solution does he want, whether the solution that he desires is within the framework of Indian Constitution, does he include the people of Jammu and Ladakh regions and other groups of the state like Kashmiri Pandits, Shia Muslims, Gujjar and Bakerwals too in his so called Kashmir political solution formula or his only concern is to hold negotiations with the separatist elements who are instrumental in staging proxy war against India”, he asked. On Farooq’s statement that tunnel, economic package and infrastructural projects cannot be alternative to dialogue or to political solution, Prof. Virender asked the former CM that by this statement does he imply that all development process should be kept on halt till political solution is found. He added that in the present circumstances, when the terrorist activities are on their peak and the neighbouring country has established numerous training camps to train the terrorists on its soil and is infiltrating them and his own army personnel into the Indian territory to create disturbance and destruction and when its army is continuously engaged in ceasefire violations and firing heavily on the Indian side, there cannot be possibility of any type of negotiation either with the internal elements or with the neighbouring country, Pakistan. The Spokesperson said that Farooq Abdullah has good rapport with the separatists and the elements who are engaged in destructive activities, he should use his influence in restoring the normalcy in the Valley so that discussions and deliberations could be held for the betterment of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He drew the attention of Farooq Abdullah on the news item that thousand crores of rupees are being provided in the ISIS budget to finance the insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir and asked for his comment on the report. Prof. Virender expressed his disappointment that Farooq Abdullah and his son Omar Abdullah have not learnt any lesson from the events of 1990 and 2010 those happened when they were on the saddle of power. He warmed the insurgents and Pakistan to realize the potentials of India which is acknowledged as one of the big powers of the world not only militarily but in the field of economy and scientific ventures. It cannot be bowed down by any means. It would meet any challenge to its sovereignty and integrity with full determination while teaching a hard lesson to its enemies, leading to their complete extinction.

No ‘bias’ in distribution of PG seats counters BJP

Brig. Anil Gupta“It is very unfortunate that a section of the media and few disgruntled politicians are trying to provoke the people of Jammu through misrepresentation of facts and alleging “bias” against Jammu in the distribution of fresh PG (clinical) seats by the Medical Council of India (MCI),” lamented Brig Anil Gupta, BJP State Spokesperson while addressing the media persons at the Party Headquarters here. Brig Gupta claimed that since the opposition is left with no issues, it is now trying to create ‘imaginary issues’ out of non-issues in order to lay unfounded allegations against BJP. They will never succeed in their evil design since people know their true face and have already rejected them out rightly due to their self-centric and narrow-minded politics devoid of any constructive agenda. Putting to rest all speculations and rumours being floated by the opposition Brig Gupta revealed that the seats are allotted by MCI throughout India based on a ‘fixed’ criteria and there is no scope of any favouritism or manipulation. As per the revised norms of MCI, each Professor can guide maximum three PG/Diploma students, while one Associate Professor heading a “PG Unit” can guide two and other Associate Professors can guide only one student. He further explained that as of now GMC Jammu has 158 PG+ Diploma seats as against 148 seats of GMC Srinagar. Where is the “bias”, questioned Brig Gupta? Explaining with the help of data Brig Gupta pointed out that Surgery Department of GMC Jammu has 5 Professors and ‘01’ Associate Professor heading a Unit and 2 other Associate Professors, therefore it is entitled 19 PG/Diploma seats (5x3 + 1x2 + 2x1 = 19). It had 16 seats earlier and has been allotted 3 more seats to make it to 19. GMC Srinagar prior to revised allotment had only 111 seats as compared to 145 seats with GMC Jammu despite the fact that the number of Professors and Associate Professors in GMC Srinagar is much higher being an older College. Therefore, it is beyond any doubt that no favour has been done to any particular region or college by MCI. Brig Gupta assured the media men that efforts are on to get 27 more PG seats for GMC Jammu by surrendering equal number of Diploma seats. “I appeal to you all to verify facts before highlighting such emotive issues in the media which can have adverse impact. I also advise to the opposition to switch to ‘constructive politics’ and give up ‘biased and destructive politics’ for their own benefit,” stated Brig Gupta. Reaffirming the commitment of Bharatiya Janata Party to the people of Jammu, the spokesperson said that the Party is for holistic and equal development of all the three regions of the state and will never allow discrimination against any particular region.

Situation in valley not conducive for talks: Prof. Virender

Prof. Virender GuptaBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta in a statement said that no talks can be held either with Pakistan or with internal stake holders in the present circumstances and those who are advocating for holding negotiations to reach at political solution for Kashmir problem are doing so to befool the people. “Those, particularly, the NC leaders who themselves are responsible for the present state of affairs and still engaged in provoking the youth by their statements are blaming the PDP-BJP alliance government in the state for the turmoil”, Prof. Virender said. Reacting to the statement of Omar Abdullah that PDP-BJP alliance proved disastrous for Kashmir, the Spokesperson said that it is Abdullah family that always kept the Kashmir boiling. He criticized those who are condemning the recent action of security forces in which three stone pelters who were providing shield to the terrorists were killed. He asked the Kashmiri leaders to utilize their energy and efforts to use their influence in keeping youth away from the area where exchange of firing between security forces and the terrorists, takes place. He further said that government should take serious note of pro-Azadi, Pro-Pakistan and Anti-India posters and flags that are being displayed in different parts of the Valley, while expressing his anguish on the report that sports events sponsored by the government are to be conducted in the memory of Burhan Wani and display of a poster with writing “welcome to Chota Pakistan” on a main road in the heart of Srinagar city. He observed that remaining indifferent to these incidents by the government shows its helplessness or weakness and sends wrong signals. Prof. Virender Gupta said that authority of the government has to prevail if situation is to be brought to normalcy and to win the confidence of the vast majority of the population that does not endorse acts of terrorism and secessionism. The need of the hour is also to put restrictions on the social media that is being used by Pakistan and secessionist forces to instigate the youth and common masses against Indian Government and to further tighten the security in the Valley.

BFDC launches signature campaign in support of Shrine board for Bawe Wali Mata

BFDC launches signature campaign -iiiBahu Fort Development Committee (BFDC) on Wednesday launched a signature campaign in support of establishment of Shrine Board for Mata Maha Kali Temple (Bawe Wali Mata). Demanding better facilities for the devotees, Rajeev Charak president BFDC said that state government deliberately ignored the demand. “We have been demanding Shrine Board for Mata Maha Kali Temple for developing facilities as well as Bawe Wali Mata Temple since 1997 but the all successive government has so far has paid no heed to the matter,” he alleged. “There is some conspiracy to put the demand on back burner to save the interest of a particular family (priests of the temple), who looted the wealth of temple with impunity from years,” he said. “It is unfortunate that again on eve of Navratra, we have to stand outside the temple shrine to demand constitution of shrine board for Bawe Wali Mata temple,” he said. Charak appealed to governor of J&K, N N Vohra to look into the matter and constitute Shrine Board so that the development works could take place and Bawe Wali Mata Mandir becomes an attractive tourist place at the earliest. He also informed that BFDC will hold 72-hour Dharana in support of shrine board at Maharaja Hari Singh Chowk, near Tawi Bridge from April 4. Charak said signatures obtained on the issue will be forwarded to Governor to urge for his earlier intervention in matter.

Stone pelting during anti-terror operations act of cowardice: Brig Gupta

Brig. Anil GuptaReacting to the events that took place at the encounter site at Chadoora, Budgam on Wednesday, Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party has stated in a press release that, “stone pelting on the security personnel who were engaged in a counter-terror operation based on hard and specific intelligence is an act of cowardice and disgrace and needs to be condemned by one and all. The act is also unlawful because an attempt was made by the unruly mob to obstruct the policemen from performing their legitimate duty. Such acts not only cause injuries to the jawans but also effects their morale and they enjoy legal sanction to react in self-defence clarified Brig Gupta. The injuries suffered by more than 60 policemen due to stone-pelting are unacceptable and local police needs to act swiftly to nab the stone pelters and their instigators. Condemning the death of three youth, Brig Gupta said that these precious lives could have been saved had they decided to stay away from the mob. The mob literally attacked and abused the policemen who were preventing them from interfering with smooth conduct of anti-terror operations forcing them to retaliate in self-defence. Taking the Hurriyat leaders to task for calling the bandh on Friday and protests after the Friday prayers, Brig Gupta warned them to stop furthering the Pak agenda of keeping Kashmir in turmoil. It is also unfortunate that for sake of few votes some politicians are polarising the tense situation in the Valley and adding fuel to fire with their communally loaded statements including a call for Jihad rued Brig Gupta. The need of the hour is that all leaders in the Valley should unitedly fight the Pakistan sponsored Proxy War and appeal to the people to desist from interfering with anti-terror operations launched by the security forces. Terrorism needs to be eliminated from the Valley so that the PDP-BJP alliance government that is committed to holistic and balanced development in the state is able to pursue its agenda of development and encourage outside investment to create much needed jobs appealed the spokesperson.

Prof Virender calls for unity against separatism

Prof. Virender GuptaBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta in a statement, said that dialogue with separatist leader to resolve Jammu & Kashmir issue is a fruitless exercise. The separatist are supporting the terrorism and promoting extreme Islamic fundamentalist ideology of Wahhabism / Salafism and working as a stooge of Pakistan, ISI and ISIS and instigating the Kashmiri youth to revolt against India and to fight in making Kashmir as part of Pakistan. He added that the prevailing situation in the Valley demands a strong resolve as the Indian Government had showed in Punjab to curb Khalistan Movement. He said that there is no political solution to the Jammu and Kashmir problem that can satisfy the Kashmiri leaders having varied vested interests. The issues like great autonomy, pre-1952 position or self rule have become quite irrelevant in the present context where those who are creating turmoil in the Valley are inspired by the philosophy of Islamic Jehad. The situation is quite alarming for Jammu and Kashmir and for the Indian government as well. The present movement in the Valley is leading it to the situation that is being confronted in Iraq, Syria and Turkey. He, therefore, appealed to the well meaning people of the State, particularly the Kashmiri leaders of the main political parties to visualize danger ahead, forget their political differences and their vested interests and unitedly fight to save the future of Jammu and Kashmir. After the normalcy is restored, then we can work on the political solution, he added. However, he said that the solution of Jammu & Kashmir lies in the abrogation of Article 370 that is responsible to encourage the secessionist forces in the Valley and provided an opportunity to Pakistan to indulge in a proxy war against India and added that solution should be worked out in consultation with the people of all the regions of the State, including POJK displaced person, KPs, Shias and Gujjars.

Gilgit-Baltistan legal, constitutional part of J&K: Harinder

Harinder GuptaTabling of a motion in UK Parliament condemning Pakistan’s “arbitrary” move to declare the strategic Gilgit-Baltistan region as its fifth province is indeed a step which has further strengthened and authenticated oft-repeated claim of India that Pakistan is in illegal occupation of PoK and Gilgit-Baltistan regions, which are integral part of the Jammu and Kashmir State . In a press statement, BJP State General Secretary Harinder Gupta, said that tabling of such motion in the House of Commons is a timely action to draw the world attention to the issue of illegal occupation of a large part of J&K State by Pakistan and its high handed action of gobbling strategic area of the state. The Conservative Party MP, Bob Blackman has, infact, taken a initiative to make United Kingdom Parliamentarians aware about the legal and constitutional position of India and Pakistan on Gilgit- Baltistan. Such a move at this juncture is significant on account of Pakistan having practically ceded some portion of the region to China. Harinder Gupta said that the motion clearly mentions that Gilgit-Baltistan has been illegally occupied by Pakistan since 1947 and the country is attempting to annex the already disputed area. The same motion further notes that Gilgit-Baltistan is a legal and constitutional part of the state of Jammu & Kashmir, which is illegally occupied by Pakistan, where people are denied their fundamental rights, including the right to freedom of expression. It is not out of place to mention that the resolution of Indian Parliament passed long back in 1994 showing PoK as the part of the Indian Dominion, stands vindicated by the contents of British Parliamentarian through the mentioned motion tabled in the UK Parliament. Harinder also appealed the Govt. of India to diplomatically convince the other countries of the world to endorse the stand taken by the British Parliamentarian to end the bullism of fringe groups like Pakistan across the globe.

Women empowerment crucial to boost child sex ratio: Bijral

Women empowerment is the crucial answer for country to boost critically fallen Child Sex Ratio. Mentioning of likes of Kadambni Ganguli, Chander Mukhi Basu first Indian women graduates of 1883; Kamala Sohonie first woman Ph.D 1912- 1998 who worked with great Indian Physicist Noble Laureate C.V.Raman ; Mrs Vijaya Laxmi Pandit first woman President of UN General Assembly in 1953 and twice President of Indian National Congress; Santosh yadav climbed Mount Everest twice; Aarti Saha crossed English Channel, former IGP S.S.Bijral and State Convener of BBBP addressing parents teachers and students congregation at TAPS HR. Sec. School Jourian said girls excelled where ever they were to counter falling girl child ratio women need to be empowered to let society know their inherent but hidden potentials towards nation building. Bijral said girls are increasingly outshining boys academically and capturing fields once considered male fiefdom. But a conscious effort both at administrative and societal level is called for to redeem the critical CSR developed in the country. In J&K state out of 22 districts, 15 are listed critical with abysmally fallen CSR, in the country.

Farooq should honour mandate of UP voters: Prof. Gupta

Prof.-Virender-GuptaBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta condemned the outburst of Farooq Abdullah on the massive mandate that BJP received in the Uttra Pradesh State Assembly and added that he should honour the mandate of the voters of Uttar Pradesh who voted for BJP, irrespective of their caste, creed and religion and stop looking everything through the communal glasses. He was also critical of his statement on the PDP-BJP alliance government, terming it as surrender of PDP to the communal forces. He said that the NC also entered into an alliance with BJP at the Centre when Omar Abdullah was Minister of State in Vajpayee’s Cabinet and perceiving that the Narendra Modi’s government in Gujrat was wrongly implicated in the false propaganda for instigating the communal riots, he continued to hold the berth in the Vajpayee’s government. Prof. Virender Gupta also condemned the Abdullah family for off and on criticizing the Government of India and present state government for their actions against the separatists and the terrorists who have led a reign of terror in the valley and disturbed the peace and tranquillity in the valley on the behest of Pakistan, ISI and ISIS. He said that the habit to equate Pakistan with India, an age old rhetoric of self styled Kashmiri leaders is completely rubbish, ridiculous, unethical and nothing except a bundle of lies. He further said that had Maharaja not signed the Instrument of Accession and had Indian forces not saved Valley by sending its troops, the future of Kashmir and the so called Kashmiryat would have been doomed. There would have been no autonomy, no article 370 and no one among the Kashmiri would have dared to raise anti-India and Pro-Azadi slogans. He also asked the Abdullah family that had Maharaja sticked to his guns, not given way to Sheikh Abdullah and had Pt. Nehru not shown his gesture to accommodate his uncompromising demands thereby introducing Article 370 in Indian constitution, what would have been fate of Abdullah family and the course that it would have adopted.

The role of Panditji in “Ek Vidhan, Ek Nishan, Ek Pradhan” agitation and similar other demonstrations was splendid which made even the Kashmiri leaders to respect him as the great Dogra leader. “Today we should take pledge to keep agitating to fulfil the dream of Dograji for full integration of J&K with the country”, he appealed.

Prof. Virender GuptaBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta in a statement said that Pakistan’s attempt to declare Gilgit-Baltistan as its fifth province, violates the 1948 UNO resolution which accepted Pakistan as an aggressor and asked it to surrender the area of Jammu & Kashmir that it had forcibly occupied, to India for the final settlement of Jammu & Kashmir issue. He added that the entire state of J&K is an integral part of India and any unilateral decision on the area of J&K that acceded to India by the Instrument of Accession is also against the spirit of the Shimla Agreement. The Spokesperson said that the present move to declare Gilgit and Baltistan as a province of Pakistan has been made under the pressure of China which is highly concerned about the security of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. He warned Pakistan that the way in which it is yielding to China pressure shall be dangerous for its identity and integrity. He further said that if Pakistan continues to pursue this policy towards China, it may, one day reduce itself as a colony of China. He also said that this policy in no way can harm India but it would prove as self defeating exercise on his part. Prof. Virender Gupta also warned Pakistan against instigating Pan-Islamic movement and supporting terrorism in the valley and in India and said that it may boomerang on it and may itself become victim of ISIS aggression that may enhance the class war in its society and lead to its complete destruction.

Cong betrayed DPs for 70 years: Dr. Narinder

Dr. Narinder Singh copyBJP State General Secretary Dr. Narinder Singh, while terming the statement on Displaced Persons (DPs) of 19147, 1965 and 1971 by Congress leader Ravinder Sharma as false and outcome of the mere frustration, said that whatever has been alleged by the Ex-MLC is infact, part of the repeated attempts to escape the wrath of the refugees for betraying them for 70 years after independence. Dr. Narinder Singh said that by making such statement the Congress leader is himself making fun of his party, which ruled the country continuously for decades, both at the centre as well as in Jammu & Kashmir state, but provided only lip service and now when out of power and left with no work, the Congress leaders are shedding crocodile tears. He said that the Displaced Persons cannot be befooled anymore by such statements of Congress leaders because they well understand that non-serious approach towards them is the result of their present day miseries. Dr. Narinder Singh cautioned the DPs not to fall prey to the statements of Congress leaders and reminded them that it was the same Congress, which during its rule in 60s, deducted rupees 2500 from the total financial assistance of Rs. 3500 in lieu of the land/residence allotted to them. Again, it was the same Congress in chair in 1971, when names of 5300 families of DPs were deleted as they had to migrate in compulsion to other parts of the country to earn their livelihood. “BJP makes it clear that the amount of rupees 5.5 lakh as sanctioned by Narendra Modi government is not the final compensation but first instalment to be followed by more in future”, Dr. Narinder Singh said and further added that the Congress is misleading the DPs even on the amount of compensation, which is highly unfortunate. He expressed hope that the Congress leaders will get themselves prepared with the facts on the vital issues before making statements just for the sake of inviting the attention of the suffering sections of the society.

Statement of Durrani Pak’s biggest terror admission: Balbir

Balbir SinghThe recent statement of Pakistan’s former National Security Advisor Mahmud Ali Durrani on 26/11 Mumbai attack has once again exposed Pakistan in allowing its soil to impart training and pushing the terrorists into Indian territory to carry out subversive activities in Jammu & Kashmir and other parts of the country. It should be seen as biggest statement ever made by an ex-Pakistani General which proves that Pakistan is a terrorist sponsoring state. This was stated by BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan while terming the admission of Durrani that 26/11 Mumbai strike was a “classic example” of cross border terrorism, carried out by a Pak based group with expressing hope of punishment to Hafiz Saeed, said that India had been time and again telling the world community that Pakistan was a breeding ground for anti-India activities. Pertinently, Mahmud Ali Durrani exposed the role of Pakistan in the 26/11 Mumbai attack while speaking at the 19th Asian Security Conference. Moreover, when a person like Mahmud Ali Durrani, who was once holding the key post of National Security Advisor of Pakistan, reveals something, it carries significance, the BJP leader said adding that such a revelation is a serious matter and every peace loving country should support India to further expose and alienate Pakistan for its brazen policy in allowing the training of terrorists and to be pushed into India. Balbir said that it is high time for all to understand that terrorism is undoubtedly the single biggest threat not just for India, but to entire international peace and security adding that India has been clamouring hard as it has been victim of proxy war for decades now. However, it is a great relief and one more victory for India in the sense that Durrani reiterated what the Indian government has been conveying at global forums all these years, Balbir said and added that this only vindicates India’s stand on Pak sponsored terrorism.

Cong misleading people on the name of democracy: Pawan

Pawan KhajuriaThe Congress and its leaders have no right to talk of the democratic rights and eroding of the sanctity of democratic institutions, when it has itself subverted the same time and again. Its leaders from Jammu are making hue and cry on the name of democracy when the people have outrightly rejected the party for its policy aimed at crushing the democracy in the past. The leaders like Raman Bhalla has nothing to claim and the only work left with him and his colleagues is to make baseless, false and misleading statements just to remain in public domain. This was stated by BJP State General Secretary Pawan Khajuria, while rebuffing the allegations of Congress leader that the BJP-PDP is delaying the elections of Urban Local Bodies and that the citizens are deprived of their democratic rights and sanctity of democratic institutions is being eroded, said that whatever Raman Bhalla has alleged is white lie. Infact, it has been the Congress which deprived the people of their democratic rights and crushed the sanctity of democratic institutions in the country in the past. Pawan Khajuria reminded the Congress leader that it was the Congress at the Centre in 1975 when emergency was imposed for 21 months and all the democratic rights of the common citizens ceased. Such was the situation that jails were filled with the political opponents of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. She ruled by decree, elections were suspended, civil liberties were curbed and the press was censored. Several other human rights violations were reported from the time, including a forced mass-sterilisation campaign spearheaded by Sanjay Gandhi, the Prime Minister's son. It has been the black period of independent India's history. Pawan Khajuria refreshed the memory of Congress leader that the term of the last Urban Local Bodies in Jammu & Kashmir ended in 2010 and the elections to the same needed to be undertaken on time but the Congress was in chair and it did not conduct the said elections. The BJP has always been in favour of strengthening the democratic institutions. BJP coalition is working towards the process of holding the elections to the ULBs and Panchayats but the Congress leader has no patience and is misleading the people on the name of democracy, which is very unfortunate.

A number of concessions and incentives have been initiated for the benefit of the farmers across the country by Modi government. The people are best judge in a democracy and the recent results in Maharashtra ULBs and Odisha Panchayats have made it clear that the programmes and policies of Narendra Modi government are widely accepted and endorsed. While a number of development projects have been initiated, the welfare schemes aimed at the social, economic upliftment of different sections of the society too have been launched. “Gone are the days when the Congress and other parties used to mislead the people on false promises”, Sat said and added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has won the confidence of the people by his work and not on mere slogans.

Jammu leaders of NC must clear stand on Farooq’s statements:BJP

Dr. Narinder Singh copyThe Jammu and Kashmir BJP demands that the leaders of National Conference hailing from Jammu should clear their stand on what NC President Farooq Abdullah has said the other day which invited widespread anger and resentment not only in the state but across the country. In an official handout, BJP State General Secretary Dr. Narinder Singh said that the NC President has crossed all the limits of a resonsible politician and indulged in making such statements which are well planned and aimed at provoking the people of Kashmir. His utterances are the attempts to regain the lost faith and ground in Kashmir and the Jammu based leaders should come clean on what has been said by Farooq Abdullah. One can not understand as to why the NC’s vocal leader like Davinder Rana stitches their lips when Farooq Abdullah targets the Dogra rulers ? Dr. Narinder Singh said that on the one hand Farooq Abdullah has unleashed a provocative and anti-national campain by defending the gun carrying youth saying that they are fighting for azaadi, on the other, leaders from Jammu are trying to divert the attention of the people from the anti national statements of Farooq abdullah by raising the issue of region and religion, which is highly condemnable. He reminded the NC leader that except a handful of Pakistan supported people in valley, the entire population of all the three regions want peace, they do not fight on the name of religion and want brotherhood and development. The people are living in harmony but NC leaders are making attempts to divide them on the basis of region and religion and create hatred for own political survival. Dr. Narinder Singh said that the statements of Farooq Abdullah reflects the politics of opportunism. When NC is out of power, its leaders behave as the sympathisers of Pakistan and Pak supported terrorists but while in chair, they miss no chance to favour tough action against Pakistan for providing launching pads to train terrorists and push them into Indian territory of Kashmir. The people of the state have seen for decades the real character of NC leadership and can not be misled any more, he said.

Farooq’s statement instigating the Valley youth: Prof Virender

Prof. Virender GuptaBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta strongly condemned the statement of Farooq Abdullah, the National Conference President, who has termed the present turmoil in the Valley as the fight of new generation of militants for freedom of nation (Kashmir Valley) and said that such type of provocative and instigating statement is not expected from a person who remained Chief Minister of the state and Union Minister. He added that his this statement proves beyond doubt that Farooq Abdullah is responsible for the present state of affairs in the Valley that started during the period when he was Chief Minister of the state, before 1990. The Spokesperson said that He is speaking out of frustration as his party, including his son, Omar Abdullah were dethroned by the people of the state because of their mal-practices, corrupt administration and anti-people policies. He said that this outburst of Farooq is aimed to recapture the lost political ground as a preparation for contesting forthcoming election of Member of Parliament. Prof. Virender Gupta asked Farooq Abhdullah to lead the militants among younger generation as per his statement issued a month back where he expressed that he was joining Hurriyat Conference in their present struggle, instead of contesting election for Lok Sabha. There he has to take oath of Indian Constitution and integrity of India to which he is questioning in his present statement. He refreshed the memory of Farooq Abdullah that Government of India had not given any promise to grant Azadi to the Valley. The NC members in the Constituent Assembly of India agreed to be the part of Indian Union; the Delhi Accord of 1952 and Constitution of Jammu & Kashmir State confirmed the accession of J&K State with Indian Union. After that there was no question of any Plebiscite in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly when Pakistan did not implement the UNO Resolution asking it to Vacate the forcible occupied territory of Jammu and Kashmir and surrender the same into the jurisdiction of Indian. He added that after 1974-75 Accord between Indira Gandhi and Sheikh Abdullah that installed National Conference in power the fight for Azadi and Farooq Abdullah’s support to it becomes absurd. Prof. Virender Gupta expressed his surprise on the statement of Farooq Abdullah who opposed the release of terrorists, including Hafiz Sayeed as a bargain against the release of captives in a plan high jacked by the terrorists and the person who tried to bring normalcy in the valley by dealing the separatists and terrorists with iron hand, after 1996.

Statement of Dr. Farooq Abdullah glorifying stone pelters has shown true colors of National Conference leadership

Sunil SethiStatement of Dr. Farooq Abdullah glorifying stone pelters has shown true colors of National Conference leadership who always makes such statement for cheap publicity and political milage without any regard to National interest . Such statements depicts the dark face of politics where innocents lives are being used as fuel in fire of trouble to keep political pot boiling, said Sunil Sethi Chief Spokesperson of State Bhartiya Janata Party. He said that recent statements of NC leader is clear indicative of the direction in which he is stirring his party. It is very apparent that having lost confidence of public and after humiliating electoral defeat in last elections NC has decided to gave back to its past known trait of speaking language of Separatism with false hope of getting support from public. Sunil Sethi further warned NC leadership from fishing in troubled waters and asked them not to make any statement which will cause trouble in the state or which is encouraging to separatist elements. Times have changed and country won't tolerate any such statements which transgress limits of law . He said anybody whatever may be his position will be proceeded under law in strict possible way . Sunil Sethi noted that statements being made by NC leadership is with an eye on the coming Panchayat elections as also Parliamentary Elections in Valley and clearly shows that NC leadership has no regards to morality or nationalism. He wondered the silence of leaders of NC from Jammu on such provocative statements which only indicate the fact that they have mortgaged their souls and consciousness for political benefits.

Why is CM indifferent to martyrs: Prof. Virender

Prof. Virender GuptaBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta expressed his serious concern on the news item appearing in a daily newspaper that the martyrs, who laid down their lives for the cause of the nation, while defending the J&K State from the Pakistan misadventures and from those who are indulging in terrorism causing destruction in the valley by killing innocents and disturbing the peace of the valley, are getting mere sympathies while stone pelters are honoured in J&K. It is indeed very unfortunate that the stone pelters and the terrorists are being rewarded. Soft and friendly approach towards those staging proxy war against the nation at the behest of enemy or those who indulge in anti-social or anti-national activities on their instigation is really hurting. It is distressing that no announcement has been made for the compensation to any of the families of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in defending the sovereignty of the country, whereas CM in recently concluded assembly session announced compensation of rupees 5 lakh to the kith and kins of the stone pelters and others, who died while indulging in violence and law breaking activities. He narrated that Havaldar Ravi Paul and Subedar Karnail Singh who got martyred in Uri attack, Rifleman Ravi Kumar and others had not received any compensation from the state government. Prof. Virender Gupta said that it is shocking to know that anti-national and anti-social elements are preferred over the martyrs by the government but the BJP as a party has always stood for the cause and honour of the families whose sons lay down their lives while fighting the militancy. The party has always been in forefront in providing financial assistance to such families on its own and recently it gave rupees five lakh each to the two families of Uri attack, which is itself testimony of the concern of BJP towards martyrs.

India had only 250 medical colleges, which produced 30,000 doctors every year, whereas the country produced 5.85 Lakh engineers every year, he said.

Turned issueless, Cong leaders making false statements: Bablir

Balbir SinghState BJP has expressed dismay over Congress leaders indulging in petty politics by making baseless statements against the BJP only to remain in limelight and seek their survival in the political scenario in the state. Congress leaders must learn to respect the mandate of the people in favour of BJP and play healthy politics instead of making false and baseless accusations, party State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan said today. It has become a routine practice for some leaders of Congress to issue statements on daily basis for their political survival. People also realize that it is nothing but the reflection of their deep frustration as they have been turned issueless and cannot digest this fact that the BJP in the coalition is doing well and people in all the three regions are endorsing policies of the alliance government. Balbir Ram Rattan reminded these leaders that the BJP won 25 assembly seats in the last elections, which itself speak that it was the mandate of the people who wanted to bring in a party which could work to eradicate corruption and provide good governance. He said that the accusations of Congress leaders that the BJP has surrendered for power are nothing but display of deep frustration as they have left with no issue now to level against BJP and its coalition government. Balbir further said that by making such false charges against BJP, the Congress leaders are in fact insulting the verdict of the people, who had been giving Congress one opportunity after the other during the last so many decades with the high hopes of getting a people oriented, accountable, transparent and development based government but nothing of such kind was witnessed, which forced the people to shift their loyalty towards BJP as they were convinced that only this party has the will and comitment to fulfil their aspirations and dreams. Balbir further said that the BJP is in coalition government in Jammu & Kashmir for the last over two years and not even a single case of corruption has been noticed. “It has happened for the first time in post Impendence era that a number of prestigious educational institutions have been sanctioned by the BJP led government at the Centre for the winter capital region and the stigma of Jammu being discriminated is getting erased”, Balbir said and added that the people are now more aware and cannot be befooled by the Congress leaders who have nothing to claim but left with single task of criticizing the present government for the sake of own existence. Better Congress leaders play constructive politics which may cool down the anger and resentment of the people against them, the Spokesperson said.

Govt should do away with interviews for Group B, C, D non-gazetted posts: BJP

anilPrime Minister Narendra Modi announced in his monthly ‘Mann Ki Baat’ programme in October 2015 that the central government will eliminate the interviews for non-gazetted posts in Group B, C, D from 01 January 2016. It was one of the flagship promises Modi made in his maiden speech on the Independence Day from Red Fort. The move was an effort to put an end to the menace of corruption in jobs. The Agenda of Alliance of the BJP-PDP coalition government, states “It shall be the mission of the Coalition Government to be the most ethical State in the country from the present day position of being the most corrupt state.” Mehbooba Mufti, CM of J&K, has stated repeatedly that the Agenda is sacrosanct and forms the basis of the coalition. The decision of Government of India aimed at putting an end to the menace of corruption in jobs, eliminating the practice of ‘Sifarish’ (recommendation), introduce transparency and speeding up the process of enrolment in government jobs leading to less Government and more Governance is in total sync with the Agenda of Alliance explained Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson, in an official handout. Union Minister for Personnel Dr. Jitendra Singh had written a letter to all Chief Ministers asking them to identify such posts which could be exempted from interviews. "The government’s view is that the interviews should be discontinued for recruitment to junior level posts where personality or skill assessment is not absolutely required. The objective behind abolition of interviews for such posts is that it will curb corruption, ensure more objective selection in a transparent manner and substantially ease the problems of the poor and resource less aspirants," he had said in his communication to the CMs. Many states and union territories responded positively to Central Government’s initiative and followed suit. Some of the other states abolished the requirement of interview for the posts of teachers only. Expressing dissatisfaction, Brig Gupta stated “However, our state is yet to implement the scheme despite it being an important narrative of the Agenda of Alliance.” Keeping in view the large scale unemployment in the state leading to frustration among the youth as well as the need to speed up the recruitment process and in order to bring transparency and eliminate the feeling of discrimination, Bharatiya Janata Party unequivocally demands doing away of interviews for non-gazetted posts in Group B,C&D stated the spokesperson.

Pakistan is a vague and terrorist nation: Prof. Virender

Prof. Virender Gupta

Prof. Virender Gupta while reacting to the statement of Pakistan Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharief and the resolution passed by Pakistan National Assembly, said that Pakistan itself is not interested to solve Jammu and Kashmir issue. He said that though Pakistan refers the UNO resolution and asks the Government of India to hold plebiscite in Jammu and Kashmir, but Pakistan itself had not abided by the UNO resolution so far, is which while recognizing Pakistan as aggressor, asked it to vacate the occupied areas of Jammu and Kashmir and put the same under the jurisdiction of Indian Government, before the plebiscite could be held. He asked Pakistan to stop interfering in the internal matters of India.

The Spokesperson said that Pakistan has no legal claim on Jammu and Kashmir. The ruler of Jammu and Kashmir State was only authorized to decide about the accession of the State and he signed the same in favour of India. Pakistan has complicated the Jammu and Kashmir issue by sending the tribals and its forces to invade Jammu and Kashmir in 1947 and then staging a war in 1965 to capture the State. By training terrorists and importing them in the Valley, instigating the Kashmiri masses, Pakistan is responsible for disturbing the peace and tranquillity of people of Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan, by virtue of its policy of supporting terrorism, has become a danger and vogue State not only for the peace of Indian Sub-continent but is being branded as a terrorism breeding country and added that it itself had become victim of its own sponsored terrorism.

 He said that Jammu and Kashmir State, enjoying the benefits of democratic system and had developed folds many in all the fields of development, whereas the illegally occupied part of Jammu and Kashmir State by Pakistan, has not tasted the fruits of democracy and is far behind from democratic JK of India in all the fields of development.

Prof. Virender Gupta said that there is a spread wide unrest and discontent in Sindh, POJK including Gilgit and Baltistan, Balochistan and people there are victim of atrocities, naked human right violations and crying for independence from Pakistan. He advised Pakistan to worry about its own disaster of disintegration, instead of creating problems for India. He further asked Pakistan to hold plebiscite in the provinces of Sindh, Balochistan and POJK to ascertain the wishes of the people in respect of whether they want to remain part of Pakistan or not.

*Pak Army responsible for burning Kashmir: BJP*

Khalid JhangirISPR video aimed at instigating Kashmiri youth Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has taken a strong note of Pakistan Army releasing a video glorifying the militants and stone-pelters in Kashmir. It’s in place to mention here that Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) of Pakistan Army has released a song 'Sangbaaz' which glorifies violence and violence-mongers. In a statement here the BJP spokesman Khalid Jehangir said, “By releasing a video Pakistan Army has proved beyond doubt that it has been instigating the Kashmiri youth since 1990 and is responsible for the bloodshed in Jammu and Kashmir.” The BJP spokesman said, “Pakistan Army and ISI have been fighting a proxy war with India in JK for the past 27-years. Despite Indian Security Forces giving a befitting reply to the Pak sponsored militants and militancy, Pakistan has not given up. Besides supporting the armed militants the neighbouring country is also supporting the stone-pelters in Kashmir.” Jehangir said, “Actions of Pakistan Army and the political establishment are speaking louder than their words. They don’t want peace to prevail in Kashmir and want to keep the pot boiling.” He said, “People of Jammu and Kashmir have matured politically and have realized that Pakistan is not their friend. It doesn’t want Kashmir and Kashmiris to progress. Jammu and Kashmir has been turned into battle field and Kashmiri youth are being used as canon-fodder.”

J&K Bank’s actions are contrary to the spirit of Agenda of Alliance: Brig Gupta

Brig. Anil GuptaEstablishment of J&K Bank, first state owned bank in the country, on 01 October 1938, is one of the many progressive measures initiated by Maharaja Hari Singh for the prosperity of his subjects. The Dogra ruler was known for the equal treatment of all regions of his State. However, the Bank established by him has failed to live up to his ideals and is promoting regional discrimination by being partial to a particular region only, rued Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party. A cursory glance at the list of business and agriculture loans offered by the bank brings to fore the skewed outlook of the Bank as most of them can be availed by Valley based clients only. While there are plenty of loan schemes specifically for Valley based artisans, fruit growers and tourism, there are none specifically for the residents of Jammu and Ladakh regions or for promotion of tourism in these regions. Further highlighting the biased approach of the Bank, Brig Gupta said, a call to the bank’s customer contact services toll free number 18001800234 provides you three options to choose namely English, Urdu and Kashmiri. Hindi, the national language and spoken frequently in other two regions as well as Dogri, a language included in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution of India, are conspicuous by their absence from the menu. Even the composition of approximately 10000 strong work force of the Bank smacks of favouritism. The Bank recently appointed two directors to its board and the both belonged to the Valley. This year’s Diary prepared by the Bank blatantly ignores the Jammu region by excluding the children from Jammu from its cover page. It probably has been done due to the fear of the separatists who earlier in the year had expressed open anger over inclusion of sportsmen from Jammu and Ladakh on the pages of the calendar issued by the Bank, apprehended Brig Gupta. All this is happening despite the fact that maximum business to the Bank is provided by the industrialists and business community of Jammu. J&K Bank is a semi-state owned Bank and hence it is the responsibility of the government to ensure that the Bank does not become the monopoly of a particular region only. Such a tendency is harmful for the holistic and harmonious development of all the three regions as envisaged in the Agenda of Alliance. It is no doubt that the present government has inherited this legacy from the previous governments that promoted regional discrimination but the government now needs to urgently step in to curb this tendency appealed Brig Gupta.

Article 370 responsible for most of the problems: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaThe State BJP spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta said that the statement of Mahbooba Mufti, the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir State, in the State Assembly that those demanding abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35A are anti-national, has created a great hype not in the political circles but among the common masses in the State as well throughout the country as it is being construed by opponents to disturb the harmonious relations between the alliance partners in the State Government. The Spokesperson while putting forward the Bharatiya Janata Party’s view point stated the party right from the days of Praja Parishad and Jan Sangh, the abrogation of Article 370 is one of its prime agenda. There was a mass agitation led by Praja Parishad and supported by Jan Sangh in 1953 against Article 370 with the slogans demanding “Ek Vidhan, Ek Pradhan and Ek Nishan” for the State, thereby opposing the Special Status granted to the State for being a majority Muslim State. The Parishad and Jan Sangh considered this as endorsing the Two Nation Theory of Mr. Jinah; BJP still holds the same opinion. Dr. Shyama Prashad Mookherjee, the founder President of Jan Sangh, had sacrificed his life in a struggle aimed to remove the barriers in the way of complete integration of J&K State with Indian Union. Thousands of Parja Parishad workers were arrested and put into jails whereas about twenty were killed by Sheikh Government. Large number of student under the banner of N.S.A (National Students Association) had joined the movement, sat on indefinite hunger strike in the premises of Prince of Wales College (now named as GGM Science College) and suffered torture after being jailed. Prof. Virender Gupta mentioned that Congress Party and other National leaders, who were members of the Constituent Assembly of India, including B.R. Ambedkar were against the incorporation of Article 370 in the Indian Constitution at the time of its introduction. He mentioned that Nation by an large is against the retention of Article 370 and added that Pt. Nehru, Guljari Lal Nanda and Indra Gandhi, opined in the Parliament that Article 70 would slowly and steadily vanish itself (Ye Giste Giste Gis Jaye Gee), in response to the demand of its removal from the Indian Constitution, that was made from time to time. The Spokesperson said that Article 370 is responsible for creating the psyche among the Kashmiri masses that Jammu and Kashmir is not a settled issue and breed secessionism among them, which are being exploited by separatists, ISI and Pakistan by extending all type of support for waging a war against Indian Nation. He termed it as a paradox that the party and its followers, who are committed to nationalism, fighting separatist forces and want to end the uncertain conditions prevailing in Jammu and Kashmir by abrogating Article 370 and putting their best efforts to bring its people in the national main stream are being abused as anti-national, whereas those who have always exploited the people of the State under the shelter of Article 370, appease the separatist forces for the vote bank politics, are being portraited as nationalists, forgetting the fact that majority of the state population, that includes people of Jammu region, Ladkah region and a good section of population of the Valley are in favour of abrogation of the Article. It also looks strange that to demand or attempt to remove Article 370, which was introduced as an temporary provision in the Indian Constitution, on the plea of special conditions prevailing at the time when State acceded to Indian Union, is considered as provoking the separatist elements to bent upon to disturb the peace of the State by participating in anti-national activities at the behest of outside agencies and country. Prof. Virender Gupta emphasised that Article 370 is responsible for the most of the problems of the State and its people, it is better for the development of the State, for the peace and communal harmony to prevail, that it is abrogated.

The figures were 41 & 84 in 2015 &2016. He Stated that there is a lot of difference between then and now. During the regime of Congress and NC, ONLY TALKS AND TABLE CONFERNCES were held but it was an aggressive and nationalist attitude of Narendra Modi led BJP Government which destroyed majority of terror camps at POJK resulting into killings of dozens of militants after URI attack and this is the difference between them and us that we don't wait for more attacks and table conferences. Lasting out at some members, he said that some have said that security persons have died but the appeopriate word which must be used by everyone is that they have achieved martyrdom for their motherland and please do not try to demoralise them.

He also asked Government to put a vigil on organisations which are funding them. Sharma also mentioned that CDF should also be doubled as well so that more developmental works could be taken in the areas of the respective MLA's.

BJP Spokesperson lambasts Omar Abdullah

Prof. Virender GuptaBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta while reacting to the statement of Omar Abdullah that PDP-BJP alliance has betrayed the mandate, said that it does not behove to a person who as Chief Minister has utterly failed on all fronts and who along with his co-partner in the government, were thrown out of power by the people of the state. He said that there was no option for Omar except to sit in the opposition with having merely 15 MLAs and added that Omar now smells danger in BJP-PDP alliance but how much danger he contributed to the state and the Nation when he and his party NC, were in alliance with BJP and he became the minister in Vajpayee’s government. Prof. Virender Gupta reminded Omar Abdullah of his helplessness and apathy, when Jammu & Kashmir faced devastating flood and he could not convene the cabinet meeting days together to meet the situation. The Spokesperson said that during his period as Chief Minister no special efforts were made to generate employment in the state, there was great resentment among the youth against the policy framed to recruit the youth on adhoc basis for five years, no special efforts were made in the health sector, in the matters of development, in improving the road connectivity and in the social sector of public welfare. The present PDP-BJP government is working on large scale on road connectivity, in generation of power, in generation of employment and starting good number of welfare schemes for the poor and down trodden people of the society, such as giving financial help to widows, helping poor in the marriage of their daughters under ‘Ladi Beti Scheme’ increasing the Old Age Pension from Rs. 200 to Rs. 1000, special transport facilities for females have been provided in capital cities of the state. The present state government got sanctioned AIIMS, IIT, IIM, Mass Communication, Law University, 6 Medical Colleges, 6 Indoor Stadiums, apart from starting the Cluster Universities. He added other welfare schemes like ‘Jan Dhan Yojana’, ‘Mudra Bank’, ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’, ‘Skill India’, ‘Start Up’, ‘Ujjwala’ and ‘Ujala’ etc. of the Govt. of India have also been made operational in the state. There are other number of projects like better roads connectivity, developing water resources, making Jammu and Srinagar as Smart cities, linking Poonch with Jammu by railways expansion and improvement of Jammu Railway Station are being pursued very vigorously. Prof. Virender Gupta asked him to shun his narrow parochial policies, behaving as anti-Jammu and anti-nation and working against the sentiments of people of Jammu and Ladakh regions. He also asked him to acknowledge the good works done by Maharaja Hari Singh, honour the sentiments of the people of Jammu region and do not indulge in opposing the demand of State holiday on Maharaja’s Birthday.

Reacting on statement of Omar Abdullah former Chief Minister wherein he has raised allegations against Bharatiya Janata Party in using Judiciary for diluting Art 370 or Art 35 A

Sunil SethiReacting on statement of Omar Abdullah former Chief Minister wherein he has raised allegations against Bhartiya Janata Party in using Judiciary for diluting Art 370 or Art 35 A , Chief Spokesperson of State Bharatiya Janata Party Sunil Sethi in a press statement said it depicts totally intellectual bankruptcy of NC leader . Sunil Sethi further said that Judiciary in India is independent and can't be used by anyone and statement of Omar Abdullah is contemptuous in nature and tends to scandalize Judiciary which is highly objectionable coming from a person who had held office of Chief Minister in recent past . Reference of SARFESI judgment of Supreme Court by Omar is also contemptuous. Judgment which was given by Division Bench of High Court was grossly erroneous on Law and Constitution and as such it was bound to be set aside by Supreme Court. The reference to sub nationalism in Division Bench judgement was highly objectionable and was misreading constitutional provision and as such has been rightly commented upon by Supreme Court. He said doors of judicia are open to all and anybody having any contrary view can always participate in court proceedings instead of raising filmsy objections of soft contest by govt . Sunil Sethi further said that Omar should first read stand taken by his govt in affidavit before Division Bench of High Court in SARFESI matter before raising accusing fingers towards anyone. He is playing politics at the cost of national interest which is intolerable.

Jammu based NC leaders must clarify their stand: BJP

Balbir SinghThe State unit of BJP has termed the opposition by National Conference to observing September 23 as “State Holiday” in honour of Maharaj Hari Singh as most unfortunate. The party reminds National Conference that it was Maharaja Hari Singh who crowned Sheikh Abdullah as Administrator and then the Prime Minister of the State. “It was Maharaja Hari Singh who had given his consent for the Constituent Assembly of the state for framing the State’s Constitution. Had Maharaja not shown his magnanimity, there would have been no rule of NC in the state,” said Balbir Ram Rattan, BJP State Spokesperson in a press statement issued here today. Balbir Ram Rattan, while charging the NC for being a party of anti-Jammu, anti-Maharaja and most opportunist, asked its leaders to go through the history before opposing the resolution of Legislative Council which seeks declaration of holiday on the birthday of great Dogra ruler Maharaja Hari Singh. He said that the NC should not forget that their present existence is the gift of the then Maharaja, who had showered his blessings on Sheikh Abdullah. Balbir Ram Rattan questioned the Jammu based leaders of NC, particularly Davinder Rana, who is riding in two boats because of his political compulsions and asked him to clarify whether he subscribes to ideology of NC, which has always been anti-Jammu and valley-centric or he honours the sentiments of Dogras. “If Rana is honestly concerned for the honour of Dogra ruler, he must come out of NC and prove his sincerity otherwise it will be assumed that he is trying to mislead the people of Jammu,” said Balbir Ram. Giving a brief account of National Conference’s past history in the state, the BJP Spokesperson said that NC, being a regional party, always remained confined to valley. It has been even shown doors by its people and is left as a frustrated bunch without any vision. “Besides, NC has been instrumental in creating mess in valley, firstly by remaining soft towards terrorism in the state and then sitting mute when it was in the chair and the entire Pandit community was forced to migrate from the valley. People in state, particularly in valley, have seen into their machinations and abandoned it for good,” said Balbir Ram Rattan. The BJP Spokesperson also added that while under NC rule , the state stooped to its all time low , the resurrection done by BJP is not being digested by NC, which is living in fools’ paradise.

BJP condoles the death of avalanche victims

Brig. Anil GuptaBharatiya Janata Party has expressed deep sympathy with the families of avalanche victims during the recent heavy snow fall in Kashmir. A total of 20 people have lost their lives so far in North Kashmir. While praying for lives of the innocent civilians, the Party also paid glowing tributes to 15 army men who made the supreme sacrifice during the period while defending the nation’s frontiers. Brigadier Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson, said that the Party condoles the unfortunate loss of lives, appreciates the local population and the civil administration which cooperated wholeheartedly with the military authorities in the rescue operation despite adverse weather conditions. Brig Gupta said that North Kashmir this year has been experiencing very high rate of snowfall surpassing the record of previous two decades and on the upper reaches where the Army is deployed it is like a snow ‘Tsunami’. Ever since the Kargil Operations, Army has done away with the practice of vacating posts during winters, thus risking the troops to the vagaries of hostile weather. These brave soldiers were performing their duty unmindful of the threat posed to their lives when they were stuck with the avalanche. The nation is proud of their sacrifice and salutes their grit and determination said Brig Gupta while appreciating their sense of duty and loyalty to the nation. At these lonely heights the soldiers have to fight not only the enemy but the vagaries of weather as well. It is excellent combat leadership coupled with sheer determination and will power of our soldiers that enables them to bear these hardships for the defence of their motherland. While all precautions are taken to avoid unnecessary loss of lives such natural calamities do create havoc at times lamented Brig Gupta. The present Modi led BJP government acknowledges the challenges and hardships faced by the soldiers at these lofty heights and that is why the Prime Minister spent Diwali with the troops deployed at Siachen and other high altitude areas during the past two years. The spokesperson hoped that in the forthcoming budget adequate provision will be made for state of the art search and rescue equipment to enable faster and better rescue of such victims in future.

BJP-PDP Government succeeds in changing the narrative: BJP

anilLauding the BJP-PDP alliance government for being successful in uniting all political parties and passing unanimous resolution in the State Assembly for the safe and honourable return of all migrants to the Kashmir Valley, Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party, referred to the present government as the true representative of the sentiments of the people, “the Government of the People, for the People.” From the day the present government has assumed office its focus has been on empowerment of the henceforth ignored segments of the society asserted Brig Gupta. Ironically, the previous governments who ruled the state with a myopic vision of regional and ethnic discrimination had used these hapless people as a tool for vote bank politics without caring to resolve their long pending issues. It has been 27 years since the Kashmiri Pundits followed by Sikhs and a few Muslims were forced to migrate from the Valley but none of the previous ruling parties ever thought of bringing such a resolution before the House. The fact is that these parties strongly opposed the move in concert with the separatists only a few months back when the idea of Kashmiri Pundit colonies was mooted.  It goes to the credit of the present government that it has successfully changed the narrative wherein those who were till very recently opposed to the idea were first to rise on the floor of the house in favour of the resolution. “It is now expected that all these parties will work in unison with the government to ensure safe and honourable return of the migrants and cooperation will not remain confined merely to the resolution,” hoped Brig Gupta. Listing other such achievements of the government, Brig Gupta referred to the plight of the West Pakistan Refugees (WPR) and the initiatives taken by the present government to ameliorate their plight to include issue of Domicile/Identity Certificates, bringing at par with rest of the state the marks obtained in 10+2 for enrolment in the Army and special quota in IRP battalions being raised as part of the Prime Minister’s Special Package for J&K. Brig Gupta also hailed the decision of the State Government, which was pending for the last more than six years, regarding advertisement of 2100 plus posts for the recruitment of Kashmiri  migrants and the decision to settle other issues pertaining to release of salaries, ration, maintenance of colonies, etc.  Inclusion of Lubana and Sher Gojri communities in the list of OBC is also a major achievement in this regard. Brig Gupta also praised the government for partially accepting the demand of ex-servicemen community and exempting VAT on the four-wheeler vehicles sold through the Canteen Stores Department. He also appreciated the efforts of the government for improving the conditions of border area residents by enhancing the compensation of border firing victims by bringing it at par with LOC victims. The government has also doubled the salary of SPOs. Other people friendly measures include application of 7th CPC to state government employees with retrospective effect and enhancement of compensation to the families of martyrs.

The meeting started by paying respects to those BJP men who had expired or were bereaved during the last three months. Sat Sharma while addressing the members of the Working Committee said that we should not get distracted by the propaganda of the opposition parties with regard to the historical decisions and schemes launched by the Central Government under the Prime Ministership of Narendra Modi. The decisions taken by Modi are of seminal importance and will leave lasting positive effect on the country and its economy. The demonetisation is a step which will ensure an economy without black money and result in the unleashing of the full potential of the India. The coalition government in the state is also not lagging behind in carrying forward the minimum common development programme on the basis of which the BJP entered into coalition with PDP, he added. Dr. Jitendra Singh laid political resolution before the Working Committee and said that the resolution enumerates various decisions taken by the central government during the last three months which have been historic and show the total and complete commitment of Narendra Modi to make India a great nation in the comity of the world nations. He said that demonetisation and the crusade launched to make India a cashless economy is a move to leap frog the country into the futuristic 21stcentury in the real sense. Notwithstanding Congress and its cohorts opposition to the demonetisation and its efforts to incite the public against the government and to rake it up as a anti-people and anti-poor move has utterly failed which demonstrates that the Indian public is with Narendra Modi and fully supports its actions to curb black money. Dr. Jitendra Singh came heavily on Congress and other parties for trying to find fault with the rehabilitation package for the refugees from West Pakistan and PoJK and demanded that these parties must inform the public as to how much relief had been provided by these parties when they were in power since 1947. The political resolution was fully endorsed by the Working Committee after it was seconded by Cabinet Minister Chandar Parkash Ganga.

Dr. Nirmal Singh highlighted the achievements and the schemes launched by the state coalition government in his address to the working committee. He said that clearing the total chaos and mis-management which had been the abiding characteristic of the previous government will take time. The good work being done by the state government has started showing results. The power blackouts have become rare and the roads which are being now laid out will last for very long as international specifications are being strictly adhered. After a gap of many years elections to the grass root forums like panchayats are being planned and will be held in the very near future so that the problems at the village level get addressed meaningfully and effectively.  The BJP is committed to the democracy and to ensure that welfare measures reach to the poorest and last man in the queue. He further stated that the party is committed to Ek Atam Manavad of Pt. Deen Dayal Updhayaya which means unity, upliftment and enlightenment of the soul.

BJP MLA from Kalakote and President Seerat–Un-Nabi Conference Jammu & Kashmir has slammed the Fatwa against the Prime Minister of India issued by Noorur Rahman Barkati, Imam of Tipu Sultan Masjid, Kolkatta. “After reading the Fatwa of Molana Barkati, I along with my all Muftis and Molanas am upset as this is not as per Islamic Sharia,” lamented Kohli while expressing his anguish. Kohli further revealed that India’s one of prime Madarsas, Madarsa Darul Uloom Ali Hasan Ahle Sunnat of Mumbai has also condemned Noorur Rahman Barkati for his so called fatwa in which he had announced that whosoever will shave the head and beard as well as blacken the face of Prime Minister of India will be rewarded with Rs. 25 lakh. The Chief Mufti of the Madarsa, Mufti  Manzar Hasan Khan Ashraf Misbahi has also issued  a Fatwa against the Imam of Tipu Sultan Masjid Kolkatta, Molana Noorur Rahman Barkati castigating the later for “making such a statement which cannot be termed Fatwa at all since it is a danger to the peace of the society and the nation. It is a personal and moreover a political statement and the sharia does not stand by any such statements. Its totally against the basics of sharia law. Allah says in Quran: Of course Allah dislikes the rioters (Surah Alqasas Verse 77).” As per the sharia such a person cannot be an Imam with such a bad conduct reads the Fatwa further. Kohli further condemned Barkati for performing the funeral prayer in absentia of the most dreaded global terrorist Osama Bin Laden. He termed the Fatwa issued by Barkati as a sinister announcement which is against the tenets of the sharia. He said that the Imam has behaved in a manner unbecoming of his position and acted under the influence of his political masters.

BJP wants to take everyone along: Jehangir

Khalid Jhangir‘Separatists spreading canards to appease their bosses sitting across LoC’ Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday asked people not to pay any heed towards the false propaganda unleashed by the separatists against the party that it (BJP) wants to change the demography of Jammu and Kashmir. In a statement here the BJP spokesman Khalid Jehangir said, “BJP wants to take everyone along and stands forsab ka vikas sab key saath. BJP is committed to development of everyone irrespective of colour, creed and religion.” He said, “Separatists stand exposed before the people as everyone in Kashmir has realized that they use youth as cannon fodder and call for indefinite strikes to appease their bosses sitting across the Line of Control (LoC). They separatists have only one agenda. They want to foment trouble and push people towards poverty. Their only job is to keep Kashmir burning.” He said, “It’s unfortunate that separatists mislead people by spreading canards like BJP is against any particular community and wants to destroy the indigenous character of JK. People should understand that separatists have been assigned a task by their masters and to complete it they can go to any extent. They want youngsters to die so that they keep their shops running. They sell the blood of youth to fill their coffers.” Jehangir said, “Attempts of separatists to demonize the BJP have backfired as people have realized that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is an upright and honest man whose only agenda is to see people prosperous and progress in their lives.”

BJP remembers Hiranagar martyrs of 1953 agitation

In a programme held at Hiranagar, BJP State President & MLA Sat Sharma, along with Forest Minister Ch. Lal Singh, BJP State Vice-President Pramodh Kapahi, State General Secretary (Organization) Ashok Koul, Senior leader Th. Ranjit Singh, OBC Board Vice-Chairman Rashpal Verma, State Secretary Vijay Sharma, local MLA Kuldeep Kumar, State Addl. Treasurer Arvind Gupta and Kathua District President Premnath Dogra, paid rich tributes to the martyrs, who sacrificed their lives during the 1953 agitation of 'Ek Vidhan, Ek Nishan, Ek Pradhan'. They laid wreaths at the memorial built in the name of these martyrs and spoke on their supreme sacrifices.

Sat Sharma, while announcing rupees one lakh for the family of one of the martyr Bheekam Singh, said that no amount of money can compensate for a human life but still the party is of the view that whatever help is possible should be extended to the bereaved familly. He said that the 1953 agitation under the slogan of Ek Vidhan, Ek Nishan, Ek Pradhan was first such historic agitation which brought all the patriotic people under one umbrella and many of them got bullets for raising tricolor, which was considered as crime in those days. With the sacrifices of our brethrens in Hiranagar, Ramban, Jourian, Akhnoor and other areas, separate post of Prime Minister was abolished but the mission is still incomplete and will be accomplished when there are no separate symbols in the state.

Ch. Lal Singh said that the sacrifices of these martyrs remember us that nation and national interests are above self and every nation loving person should take a pledge to take forward the unfinished agenda of the agitation and contribute towards fulfilling the same, which will be the true tribute to the martyrs.

Ashok Koul said that the agitation was launched with an objective of extending the national symbols in the State of Jammu and Kashmir as J&K was integral part of India like other states and none of them had separate Constitution, separate flag and separate post of PM. He said that the present generation should remain alert of the forces posing threat to the unity and integrity of the country.

Rashpal Verma, on this occasion, said that we have travelled a long distance after 1953 but the mission taken up by the martyrs has not been completely achieved. We have to adopt a comprehensive policy and work on it so that the mission is accomplished.

Th. Ranjit Singh, spoke on various instances related to this agitation and also introduced the family members of the martyrs of Hiranagar. He said that the sacrifices of such patriots also teach us a lot, which become source of inspiration.

Kuldeep Kumar spoke on the lives of the martyrs of Hiranagar and adjoining areas, who jumped into the agitation at very low ages and left the luxuries of life for the cause of motherland.

Parmodh Kapahi said that just remembering such martyrs for one day in a year is not enough and that we should have frequent assemblings here.

Vijay Sharma, on this occasion, termed the martyrs as source of inspiration for the next generations adding that the real tribute to them is to highlight their sacrifices.

Premnath Dogra said that the people who get martyrdom never die as they live in our hearts and minds and keep reminding of what each one us has to do for the nation.

BJP State Addl. Treasurer Arvind Gupta, State Executive Member Gopal Mahajan, Mahila Morcha leader Indu Rekha, Hiranagar Mandal President also paid their tributes.

Recommendation  of Yashwant Sinha are superficial: Prof. Virender

Prof. Virender GuptaState BJP Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta while commenting on the findings and recommendations of a high level civil society delegation led by former External Affairs Minister, Yashwant Sinha said that the delegation has not gone into the root cause of the present turmoil in the Valley and of the situation that persisted in the Valley after the accession of J&K state with India. He said that the delegation has made superficial analysis of the situation and its recommendations of having multi-dimensional dialogue with all the stake holders including both the factions of Hurriyat Conference and asking the security forces to demonstrate more human attitude with public are not new ones and these are in line with the suggestions of those who either themselves are separatists or those who directly or covertly are supporting these elements to achieve political mileage. He expressed his anguish on the fact that the delegation did not care to ascertain the opinions of the people of Jammu and Ladakh regions and those of Kashmir Valley who are peace  loving and are against the separatists/terrorists elements. He added that holding negotiations with the elements who support the terrorism to achieve Azadi or want to merge Kashmir Valley with Pakistan would be a fruitless exercise. Prof. Virender Gupta narrated that there have always been some elements in the Valley who want to delink Jammu and Kashmir from India and putting all efforts at the behest of Pakistan to make J&K its part. These elements could not succeed in their efforts and the situation in the Valley more or less remained peaceful till 1982. During the period of Bakshi Ghulam Mohd., G.M. Sadiq and Mir Quasim helm of the affairs of the state, number of provisions of Indian Constitution were extended to Jammu and Kashmir state and no voice of opposition was raised against these extensions. The disturbances started and anti-India elements became more aggressive when Farooq Abdullah took the rein of the state. The present turmoil in the Valley is the consequence of the emergence of extreme Islamic fundamentalism throughout the world which emerged from Jehadi movement which is influenced by Wahbi/Salafi groups in particular in the gulf countries. The planning for the present disturbance in the Valley started about a decade back with increase of five fold in Mosques  and Madras  with the membership Jamait Ahel Hadith raising from 2000-3000 to 1,500000. The present upsurge is neither the first nor the last round. The country should keep itself ready with short term and long term strategies to meet the grave challenges ahead to its integrity and sovereignty. It is not only India but the countries like Afghanistan and Bangla Desh are facing the challenges of Islamic fundamental forces supported by ISIS, ISI and Pakistan. The need of the hour is to form a joint font against this Islamic onslaught. There is no role of any soft policy towards the separatists and terrorists.

Sat Sharma raises question of Chamel Singh in Zero hour

Sat Paul Sharma (CA)During zero hour in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly session, BJP State President and MLA Jammu West Sat Sharma (CA) raised the question regarding awarding of compensation to the family of Late Chamel Singh and martyr status to him as well. Late Chamel Singh was resident of Pargwal Mulo of Block Akhnoor who died in Kot Lakhpath Jail of Lahore, Pakistan on  January 15, 2013. Sharma raised the important issue during the zero hour while Deputy Speaker was on chair.   Sharma raised the issue regarding the compensation to the family of the deceased. It is pertinent to mention that Chamel Singh was killed in Kot Lakhpath jail in Pakistan by the Jail authorities which was the same as the case of Sarabjeet Singh of Punjab where Punjab State Government paid Rs. 1 crore and Central Govt. paid Rs. 25 Lakhs to the family of Late Sarabjeet Singh and also awarded jobs to his daughters but the then Omar Abdullah led NC-Congress Government in Jammu and Kashmir failed to compensate the family of Chamel Singh despite of countless representations made by the family. The issue regarding this has been raised timely by BJP President Sat Sharma (CA).   Sharma also stated that various representations were also given to former Deputy Chief Minister in this regard who was also the MLA of Khour Constituency at that time but not even a single step was taken in this regard by either of the representatives in the previous State Government.   He appealed to the representatives of the present Coalition Government in the State to keenly look into the matter of Late Chamel Singh who died for his motherland and stated that a suitable compensation should be given to the family of Chamel Singh and a martyr status to him should be given as well so that the condition of his family could improve who are working in the fields of other people under miserable conditions.

DPs, Refugees understand fake affection of Cong: BJP

Harinder GuptaIt has happened for the first time in the history of India that there is a government at the Centre, which felt pain of the Displaced Persons from Pakistan Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (POJK) and refugees from West Pakistan and displayed sincere concern towards mitigating their sufferings on humanitarian grounds. This was stated by BJP State General Secretary Harinder Gupta while holding Congress in particular responsible for the plight of these hapless sections of the society. He said that Displaced Persons and Refugees had been agitating for decades for the mitigation of their sufferings but the successive governments of the Congress, which ruled the country for maximum period after independence, never deemed it necessary to understand their problems and take effectives steps to do something positive. “Now when BJP government under PM Narendra Modi has granted some concessions to the West Pakistan Refugees and released rupees 2000 crore as financial assistance for the Displaced Persons from PoJK, surprisingly sudden affection has developed among the Congress and its leaders for these sections”, Harinder Gupta said and added that these sections cannot be misled anymore as they well understand the Congress for such a change in its behaviour. How can the DPs and Refugees forget the kind of treatment was meted to them by Congress when it was in power and could have easily done something for them, which it did not. He said that these people could have got what they had been agitating, had Congress adopted a humanitarian approach towards them. Harinder Gupta said that on one hand Congress did nothing for DPs and Refugees, on the other its leaders are opposing what the Narendra Modi government is doing for them. It is most unfortunate and reflection of the anti-DPs, anti-refugees mindset of the Congress. The BJP leader cautioned the DPs and refugees not to trust the false and misleading propaganda of the Congress and have faith in the BJP government under Prime Minister Narenda Modi.

Cong leader making false allegations in frustration : BJP

Balbir Singh

Stat unit of BJP today lashed out at Congress for what it stated the party leaders spreading malicious propaganda against the government and making allegations which have no base.

BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, while reacting to the charges by PCC Senior Vice-President & former Minister  on  PDP-BJP government,  said that the fact of the matter remains Congress  has turned issueless, which is why its leaders are making  statements  almost on daily basis against the government just to mislead the people.

Balbir Ram Rattan said that the Congress leaders are targeting the state government through false and misleading utterances which is nothing but outburst of frustration over the reality that PDP-BJP alliance government is doing well on all fronts, public welfare being the core of its governance. Both the coalition partners,  PDP and BJP, have done splendid work during the last two years and are fulfilling the promises made to the people during the election campaigning for  Assembly elections. Despite several odds due to long spell of turmoil in Valley, the government did not lose its focus towards other two regions, he said adding that Jammu and its people are being given priority by the government in ensuring smooth supply of electricity and water and making available other basic requirements for survival.

Balbir reminded the Congress leader that the people had rejected his party and displayed trust in BJP’s slogan of providing good governance and wiping out corruption in the state.

“Today the PDP-BJP coalition feels pride in claiming that not even a single case of corruption has taken place and work culture has been introduced with total accountability, Balbir said and added that it would have been appreciable had the Congress leader compared the two years rule of the present coalition with the rule of previous governments of Congress and NC.

Balbir further said that today, when Congress is out of power, it has developed sudden affection for Displaced Persons from PoJK and Refugees from West Pakistan, while these sections remained ignored during the rule of the successive governments of the Congress. It is better he takes a look back into the years Congress ruled the state and how these sections were treated by successive governments of which Congress remained major ally. Balbir said that it goes without saying  BJP is deeply concerned for the unemployed youth but it will certainly not do anything that amounts to their exploitation as was done during the previous governments.

Demonetization proving effective strike on terrorism: Dr. Narinder

Dr.-Narinder-Singh-copyReports that within a period of less than two months of the Union government’s decision on demonetization, there has been sharp decline in terrorist related activities not only in Jammu and Kashmir but in North East and Naxal dominated areas of the country, themselves speak that demonetization is proving an effective strike on terrorism besides bringing out black money. In an official handout, BJP State General Secretary Dr. Narinder Singh said that as per the latest reports, after the decision of Narendra Modi-led NDA government on demonetization, fake currency racket has been busted; terror funding stands chocked and there are no funds for stone pelting, with just few isolated incidents of stone pelting, are the results of considerable drop of 60% in the terrorist related activities. As per these reports, there has been 50% drop in Hawala operations resulting into drop in terror financing. All this has happened for the first time in the country and is the result of hard strike of demonetization, Dr. Narinder Singh said and added that the basic objective of demonetization is seen going in right direction and thus bringing the desired results. Dr. Narinder Singh further said that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a bold and historic decision to nullify the currency notes of rupees 500 and 1000 as a move to check fake currency, black money and corruption. It had been a common belief that large scale use of fake currency was the fuelling source in terrorism funding and the demonetization has badly hit its spine to a great extent. The BJP leader said that while the entire country has appreciated the decision on demonetisation but unfortunately some political parties, particularly Congress, Trinamool Congress and Bahujan Samaj Party, have unleashed a false and negative propaganda without going through the success of the strike on demonetisation on terrorism. The opposition and non cooperation by these parties to the Narendra Modi led government on demonetisation has also exposed them for their non commitment to eradicate corruption, bring out black money and nail the anti national activities.

Prof. Virender Gupta expressed his great concern on the fact that the people of Jammu region are still suffering discrimination in the matter of their political empowerment

Prof. Virender GuptaBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta expressed his great concern on the fact that the people of Jammu region are still suffering discrimination in the matter of their political empowerment, representation in the state services including Civil Secretariat, appointments against various positions like Assistant Professors in the state colleges, medical consultants, lecturers in State Medical Colleges, in police department and in other departments of the state government. He said that the present government has come to power with an aim to remove alienation between the people of Jammu region and Kashmir Valley, while ensuring equitable development and judicious representation in the state administration and in other state departments. He said that even though the performance of the present PDP-BJP led government is for better than the previous governments in the state. The government has launched various schemes/projects of development and for the welfare of the common masses and in particular the down trodden residents of the state. However, Prof. Virender Gupta said that there is a need to take more steps, particularly in the matter of decentralization of political, administration and financial powers. He expressed the need for the creation of Regional Autonomous Councils for all the three regions of the state, empowering the councils with legislative, administrative and financial powers. Each council should have its own assembly/ council empowered to make legislation for the concerned region, with each council having separate funds allocation from the Centre and power to generate its own financial resources and power of appointments against gazetted and non-gazetted positions in its own region. The State Government should have the jurisdiction on some subjects of common interests, mutually decided by the regions and added that the employees of the state government should be drawn from all the three regions on the basis of deputation. He also said that to make State Government more responsive and effective to the issues concerning the people of the state it is essential that civil secretariat and other State departments, State corporations be bifurcated, with one stationed at Jammu and other at Srinagar throughout the year. He said that in the winter season the grievances of the people of the Valley which need better attention, are being addressed properly and the people have not to wait for the Darbar to move back in Summer. Whereas, the people of Jammu region are not properly attended during the summer season as the Darbar at that time shifts to Srinagar. He said that Commissioner and the Ministers should rotate between Srinagar and Jammu after fortnightly or monthly, whereas each region should have a separate administrative setup. Prof. Virender Gupta also stressed upon that the recommendation of R.S. Singhal Committee-1999 be accepted which had recommended that candidates of each region be accommodated in the professional institutions existing in the respective region.

BJP committed to help the needy, deserving people: Baru

Sanjay Baru copy

The approval granted by the State government for recruitment and filling up of 2100 posts of Kashmiri Pandit migrants is yet one more sincere effort of the BJP-PDP coalition government to ameliorate and rehabilitate the people from the valley, who got uprooted from their homes and hearths to escape their physical liquidation at the hands of those who had unleashed a rein of destruction and deaths in Kashmir valley in early 90s.

This was stated by BJP State Secretary Sanjay Baru, who said that while as the previous government had only half heartedly filled up some of the approved posts, expenditure of which was to be borne by the Central government, but the posts which had to be financed by the state government were left unfilled, which reveal non sincere empathy for the unfortunate displaced people on the part of than NC-Congress coalition government. The recent approval for filling up of 2100 posts is a move that reflects the present government’s genuine desire to do something meaningful for the for the Kashmiri Pandit migrants.

 Sanjay Baru also lauded the state government’s decision to execute a Rs. 2000 crore relief package for displaced persons from Pakistan Occupied Jammu & Kashmir and recruitment of West Pakistan Refugees in the Central Security Forces. He ridiculed the inane pronouncements of various leaders of Congress, NC and other like outfits finding fault with these packages for the displaced persons from PoK and refugees from West Pakistan. Having remained in power till 2014 in the state and never having paid any attention to the plight of these people and now finding fault with the effective and substantial relief package announced by PDP-BJP government only shows lack of moral fabric in such leaders of opposition parties, he added. It is for the first time after partition that the refugees are being realistically rehabilitated and the efforts are being appreciated by all right thinking people.

Sanjay Baru said that the BJP is committed to help the needy and deserving people. The recruitment of displaced people from valley and concessions for refugees of West Pakistan and PoJK represents this basic ethos of the party, said Baru.

By admiring Burhan, Sharif has exposed Pak on terrorism:BJP

Balbir SinghReminds Pak Premier of 1994 Parliament Resolution on Kashmir A day after Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif gave yet another controversial statement on Burhan Wani and his rhetoric on Kashmir, state unit of BJP lashed out at him, contending Sharif’s assertions are a result of sheer frustration and desperation due to poor response emanating from the people of Kashmir, now wishing to lead peaceful and normal life. Reacting sharply to the claim of Sharif that the slain Hizbul Mujahideen militant Burhan Wani was a “vibrant and charismatic leader”, State unit of BJP has said that the cat has now come out of the bag as it is crystal clear that Pakistan has always supported terrorism and their activities in Jammu and Kashmir and elsewhere in India. As for his claim that Kashmir was an “integral part” of Pakistan, the BJP said that the Pakistan Prime Minister is day dreaming and needs to be reminded that Kashmir belongs to India and no power on earth can snatch even an inch of it till last Indian survives. Putting forth party’s stand on both the issues, BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan said that the party has  been continuously telling the world community that Pakistan was a breeding ground of terrorism, it exported trained terrorists into Indian territory and has been responsible for terrorist activities in Kashmir during all these years of its proxy war against India. Now, when Nawaz Sharif has openly praised a dreaded terrorist Burhan Wani and described him as a vibrant and charismatic leader, doubts, if in any quarter and corner of the world, have been cleared by him, Balbir said adding that Pakistan stands fully exposed for its well laid out policy for promoting terrorism and fanning it out particularly in J&K state. Balbir said that whatever has been claimed by Nawaz Sharif about Kashmir is absolutely wrong and malicious. BJP wants to remind both Sharif and the entire world community that the 1994 Unanimous Resolution of Parliament of India makes it loud and clear that “the State of Jammu & Kashmir has been, is and shall be an integral part of India and any attempts to separate it from the rest of the country will be resisted by all necessary means and demands that Pakistan must vacate the areas of the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir, which they have occupied through aggression”. Balbir further said that Nawaz’s remarks on sufferings of people of Kashmir are nothing but crocodile tears as even the Kashmiris now realize their miseries have been compounded due to Pakistan’s policy of exporting terrorism in J&K, which has become main cause of continuous violence and instability in the state.

NC’s obsession with terrorist calling him ‘martyr’ exposed: Balbir

Balbir SinghThe political alignment of the National Conference towards forces working to spread terror and provoke anti-national elements for widespread killings of innocents in the state have proved to the extent that party is responsible for being the harbinger of terrorism, separatism and alienation in the state to satiate its political needs only.

This was stated by BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, who strongly condemned the statement of NC MLC, who on the floor of the House, eulogized Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Burhan Wani as martyr (Shaheed).

“The hidden face of National Conference has been exposed, which equates terrorist with a martyr. It is not just by mistake but a part of its politics based on appeasement of the separatists and the terrorists,” said BJP State Spokesperson.

Balbir Ram Rattan, while condemning such attempts to create hero out of a terrorist, said that such kind of politics is highly dangerous for the state and the nation, which cannot be tolerated. He said that a terrorist is a person who carries weapons, advocates terrorism, frightens others, wages war against the nation and kills innocent people. On the other hand, a martyr is a person who takes pledge to defend the motherland, sacrifice his life for the safety and security of the people and even achieve martyrdom.

The whole world knows that Burhan Wani was a wanted terrorist, who carried an award of Rs. 10 lakh and was killed while he was engaged in firing with the security forces. How can such a dreaded person be called a martyr (Shaheed), the people want to know from the National Conference and its leaders.

Balbir questioned the Jammu based leaders of NC to clear their stand if they too treat Burhan Wani as a martyr, and if so, does they not recognize supreme sacrifices of the personnel of Indian army and security forces, who have been laying down their lives for the cause of the nation. He said the BJP is very clear that no terrorist can be equated with or treated as a martyr and a line should be drawn to differentiate between a nationalist and an anti-nationalist, between a killer and a defender and between law abiding and a law breaking person in the state.

Opposition’s role is highly deplorable: Prof. Virender  

Prof. Virender Gupta

BJP State Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta strongly criticized the opposition for the Governor, NN Vohra’s address in the joint session of legislature while creating unprecedented scene and forcing the Governor to leave his address within 15 minutes. He also strongly condemned the disrespect shown to the national anthem by the opposition, as they continued with their protest, raising anti-government slogans when the national anthem was being played after the Governor ended his address.

BJP Spokesperson said that it was a great shameful and condemnable action on the part of opposition legislatures that those who take the oath of the Constitution and for upholding the integrity of the country, indulged in anti-India activities and such like criminal offence. He demanded that Speaker of the House and the state government should initiate appropriate action against the legislatures as per the law of the country. The explanation rendered by Congress legislature party leader Rigzin Jora and NC MLA Devendra Singh Rana that National Anthem was not audible cannot be entertained  as all the legislatures are well aware of the fact that national anthem is played when Governor ends his address.

Prof. Virender Gupta also said that rowdism displayed during Governor’s Address amounts to showing disrespect to the Governor and also to the democratic norms and traditions. He said that opposition, instead of showing interest in the development of the state, helping the government  to bring normalcy in the state, has chosen the path of disruption and added that by adopting these tactics they are helping the forces those want the Valley to remain disturbed. He said that opposition leaders should shun such like acts and extend their helping hands to the government to put the state on the track of peace, development and progress. He warned that the such like action shall boomerang and the opposition may have to repent for their omissions and commission.

SC judgement will bring revolution in politics: Aseem

aseem-gupta

The recent judgement of the Supreme Court of India that no politician or political party can seek votes in the name of caste, creed, religion or language is a landmark decision and will obviously bring a revolution in the Indian politics.

This was stated by BJP State Secretary Aseem Gupta, while advising the Indian politicians not to mix religion with politics as elections is a secular process and religion has no role in it.

Aseem Gupta said that we were ruled by Mughals and Britishers for hundreds of years due to which we lost our original identity and in 1947 when we got Independence we were not shown right path for leading the country towards development, rather politicians started using to exploit the people of the country in the name of religion and caste for their political benefits. Their sole motive was that their political shops should keep running. Some particular community people were used for their political benefits and making people fight with each other by giving the name of (Communal Rights) and taking benefit for themselves and their Party and nothing to do with nation.

Aseem further said that the countries who got independence merely 30 years back are more progressive and have very well developed infrastructure and Hongkong is one of the example.

The reason for the development of countries like Hongkong is because of the fact that people focus on what they have been contributing towards their nation cutting across their individual association or faith. But on the other hand, the people in our country has more concern and worry for themselves rather than thinking of the country. It is due to this mindset that India has become a country where family promotion is priority, corruption reach new heights, scams become  routine matter and  nepotism prevails.

The historic judgement is highly appreciable and will prove to be a strong tool in  cleaning the polluted politics in India and provide an opportunity to the  people to rise above caste, religion and region and cast their constitutional right for better party at candidates so that the country prosper and progress.

Aseem Gupta appealed the people to come forward and take a sincere pledge to not get misled on the slogans of caste and religion and contribute in giving new direction to the Indian politics for a better future.

Vibodh said that it is really very shameful that a party whose Patron Dr. Farooq Abdullah regularly dances in the parties in Jammu and then they pretend to be the Kashmir’s that they are in grief. The people of Kashmir must ask Dr. Farooq Abdullah about who was in power in the state when the PSA was enacted in the state. Vibodh regretted that what type of benchmarks these legislators of National Conference and Congress are leaving for our youngsters to follow. By insulting the national anthem these legislators have proved that they have no respect for the country and its constitution and this has highlighted the fact that their own political gains are above the national interests. Therefore very stern action must be initiated against all the legislators who have shown no respect to the national anthem today during the joist sitting of the state legislature Vibodh added.

NC quoting Maharaja Hari Singh out of context: BJP

20161231_121913

It is very unfortunate and sad that a section of society living amongst us is termed as “refugees” and denied basic rights on the plea that they are not the state subjects and have migrated from West Pakistan (WP) at the time of partition. It is tragic that even after 70 years of independence they are being given this treatment in their own country due to the parochial outlook of the majority community in the state. 

In a press conference held at the party Headquarters, Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party strongly condemned the attitude of Hurriyat and other political parties opposed to the grant of domicile certificate to the West Pakistan refugees residing in the state. What is more discomforting is that these people belong to economically backward segment of the society and have been denied the growth opportunities due to no fault of theirs. Hartal called by Hurriyat and other separatist groups yesterday to oppose the grant of domicile certificate to WP refugees is very unfortunate, unwarranted and uncalled for. BJP strongly opposes the efforts of these pro-Pakistan elements to politicise a humanitarian issue.

Taking a dig at the stand of NC Brig Gupta said, political parties like NC are misquoting history and trying to mislead the people of Jammu using the name of Late Maharaja Hari Singh. Their contention that State Subject laws were enacted by the Maharaja to safeguard the interest of Dogras is being quoted out of context. The State Subject Act was enacted by the Maharaja in 1927 to protect the rights of its citizens when J&K was an independent state. It was the Maharaja only who had acceded the State with India in 1947 and it was his desire that his state should be a part of Union of India. All citizens of J&K are now citizens of India. Has the Maharaja been alive he would have himself ensured that any law that keeps his state away from rest of the country should be abrogated. He would have ensured that these helpless people are given all rights immediately and they would not have to suffer this humiliation for 70 years. 

What is more surprising and unfortunate that parties which had included this issue in their election manifestos in the past are now opposing the issue of the domicile certificate.  The statements of Ambika Soni in Jammu and Congress spokesperson Meem Afzal in Srinagar clearly show that the Congress was  only exploiting them for narrow political gains and now that their plight is being improved by the present BJP government they have joined hands with the Hurriyat and others to oppose the same, lamented Brig Gupta. 

BJP is the only party which treats this as a humanitarian issue and has decided to come to the rescue of these innocent people. Issue of domicile certificate will enable the WP refugees to seek central government jobs including in CAPF and Army. There will be quota for them in the 5 IRP Battalions being raised under Prime Minister Special Package for J&K.

Ridiculing the contention that it is an attempt to change the state’s demography Brig Gupta explained that it is not understood as to how it will affect the demography of the state since they have been staying here since 1947. In fact,

It is the influx of illegal Bangladeshi and Burmese migrants that has resulted in the demographic change and ironically they do not raise any voice against them but welcome them. This highlights their communal outlook. 

Our Party will continue to support the WP refugees and ensure that justice is delivered to them, assured the spokesperson. 

BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan was also present in the press conference. 

“Achche Din” has started for DPs from PoJK: Sat

img-20161231-wa0026

BJP State President & MLA Sat Sharma, while addressing “Adhikaar Rally” of massive gathering of Displaced Persons (DPs) from Pakistan occupied Jammu & Kashmir (POJK) alongwith Minister of PHE Sham Choudhary, State General Secretary Dr. Narinder Singh and State Secretary Ch. Vikram Randhawa at Badyal Brahmana in Suchetgarh assembly constituency, said that “Achche Din” (good days) has started for DPs during the rule of BJP-led NDA government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Sat Sharma said that the BJP had always raised concern and advocated for mitigating the sufferings of the DPs and fulfilling their decades old genuine demands. Thousands of people settled in different areas of Jammu Province had been coming on roads for the last 70 years seeking justice for them but none in the successive Congress governments felt their pain nor saw their tears.

After taking over as PM, Narendra Modi has been taking one decision after the other for the welfare of the different sections of the society, including DPs and refugees. The decision of financial assistance to DPs is reflection of the sincere efforts and commitment of the Modi government to wipe out the tears of these ignored people, which is indeed the start of ‘Achche Din’ for them.

Sham Choudhary, while addressing the rally, said that the days of sufferings and agitations are over for DPs as the BJP government at the Centre has taken the initiative to reach the DPs and provide them financial assistance. To get financial assistance for DPs, the BJP in the state had been consistently in touch with the centre and finally positive has come out.  

Dr. Narinder Singh, in his address, said that the Congress owe an explanation as to what it did for more than 65 years for DPs and why its leaders have started playing politics on the humanitarian issue when for the first time any government has displayed honest concern towards them.

Ch. Vikram Randhawa said that the entire belt of R.S.Pura and Suchetgarh have maximum population of DPs and after the release of rupees 2000 Crore financial assistance in their favour, there is joy and celebrations among DPs, which is in fact start of “Achche Din” for them.

R.S. Pura BJP District President Brijeshwar Rana, State Working Committee Member Sat Pal Pappi, Mandal President Swaran Singh Chib, Ex Sarpanch Jasbir Singh Lucky and Jasbir Samotra also addressed the Adhikaar Rally.

Budget session is paramount for welfare of the State: kavinder Gupta

10353554_928912327133231_4397493930021416865_nThe 4th session of the 12th legislative assembly commencing on the 2nd of January, 2017 will be introducing budget for the financial year 2017-18 and it is going to be a very crucial one for the holistic development of the state, Speaker J&K assembly, kavinder Gupta said.   In a press statement issued here today, the Speaker said, last year the government decided to schedule the budget session in the month of January, as early allocation of funds will fast track the development activities in the state and the money allocated can be fully utilized for the same.   Due to the sudden demise of our former chief Minister, Jenab Mufti Mohammad Sayeed in the month of January, 2016 the same policy was not implemented and the session was delayed till June, 2016 which created so many hurdles in the implementation of development as well as welfare schemes of the government due to the postponement of budget session, he said.   Terming this budget session as paramount for the welfare of the state, the Speaker said the annual financial statement of expenditure for 2017-18 and supplementary statement of expenditure for the 2016-17 will be introduced on 10th of January 2017 followed by the general discussion and demand for grants in the coming days with appropriation bills scheduled to be passed on 30th of January.   Appealing to the legislators, he said the state belong to all of us but the legislators have more responsibility towards the welfare of the state and they should contribute positively and strengthen the hands of the government by taking part in the discussion process and set an example by avoiding the disruption of proceedings of the assembly.   He added that no one will be deprived of their right of putting forth issues related to the public importance and every legislator will be given a fair chance but no leniency will be shown to person adopting unconstitutional means for projecting their demands.

State Subject Laws caged Dogras in Steel Frame: Prof. Virender

Prof. Virender Gupta

BJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta blamed National Conference Provisional President, Devendra Singh Rana for misleading the people about the Permanent Residential Law of J&K State. He said that Maharaja Hari Singh was a sovereign ruler of Jammu and Kashmir state and J&K was like an independent country. However, after the accession of the state with India, it ceases to enjoy the same status. It became one of the constituents of India. The residents of the state became the citizens of the country. The Jammu and Kashmir state under Article-370 had its own constituent assembly and it made its own constitution. The laws, rules and regulation existing during Maharaja rule were all changed and a new polity and administrative structure came into being.

Therefore, quoting Maharaja Hari Singh for Permanent Resident laws is immature on his part, particularly when the present Permanent Resident law excludes  the Class-III of the permanent resident law that existed before 1947.

Prof. Virender Gupta said that states enjoying provisions of  Article-371 do not have separate constitution and do not have the permanent state subject rule as the J&K states has.

He said that because of Article 370 the growth and development of the state has hampered and it has only benefitted the ruling elite of the Kashmir valley. The common masses, particular of Jammu region have become the victim of the secessionist and parochial designs of the ruling elite. The Article 370 has kept the state unstable and people in general are subjected to great hardships, as their problems are not being addressed because of the prevailing uncertain political situation. He said that State Subject Laws and Article 370 instead of becoming steel frame to Dogra interests as claimed by Rana have cases them in a steel frame He added that Article 370 has given an opportunity to Pakistan and to its agents in keeping Jammu and Kashmir issue alive and make the borders vulnerable to the disturbances.

Cong responsible for plight of DPs, refugees: BJP

cong-responsible-for-plight-of-dps-refugees

Addressing the massive Adhikaar rallies of Displaced Persons from PoJK at Khour, Sunderbani and Hiranagar,   BJP State President & MLA Sat Sharma, Lok Sabha MP Jugal Kishore Sharma, Rajya Sabha MP Shamsher Singh Manhas and PHE Minister Sham Choudhary,  lambasted the Congress in particular for its step motherly treatment meted to the Displaced Persons (DPs) of PoJK and refugees from West Pakistan. They held Congress responsible for whatever  DPs and refugees have faced after Independence.

These rallies were organized to clear the mis-information campaign of Congress and NC related to rupees 2000 crores financial assistance for DPs from PoJK.

Sat Sharma, while addressing a large gathering of DPs at Khour, said that the Congress only betrayed these displaced persons from PoJK and now when PM Narendra Modi has taken their plight as human problem and came forward to grant them financial assistance, the Congress leaders, instead of appreciating the decision of BJP-led NDA government, are once again trying to mislead the hapless DPs, which is itself an example of their irresponsible approach towards them. It is most unfortunate that whatever is being done for the DPs and refugees by the Modi government is being criticized by Congress leaders, which is reflection of their frustration.  

Jugal Kishore Sharma, while addressing a similar rally at Sunderbani, said that the DPs from PoJK agitated continuously for decades when Congress was ruling the country and they got nothing except lip service. Now the BJP has initiated the process of helping them but the Congress cannot digest it. Even the refugees from West Pakistan were not considered for any favour by Congress and it is only BJP government which has granted certain concessions to them for their livelihood.

“The Congress leaders, who question PM Modi on Acche Din, should go to the DPs and see the smile on their face which is the result of the PM’s financial assistance for them”, he added.

Shamsher Singh Manhas, while addressing the DPs at Kattal drawn from 46 colonies of Hiranagar, said that BJP has always stood with the PoJK people as well as West Pak Refugees and never played politics like Congress did during all these years of Independence. He said that the leaders who are asking PM to apology for demonetization, should, infact, themselves seek apology from the nation for pushing the country towards scams and corruption during UPA-I and UPA-II and also for their earlier tenures of government.

Sham Choudhary, while addressing the DPs at Khour, said that they have suffered a lot during the Congress rule and the BJP governments at the Centre and in the state have displayed honest and non-political approach towards them. The BJP has always been in forefront to seek justice for DPs and refugees from West Pakistan. The three generations of DPs and West Pak Refugees have perished while fighting for their rights, which itself speaks of the total negative approach of the successive governments of Congress towards them. Vice-Chairman OBC Board Rashpal Verma, BJP MLAs Dr. Krishan Lal Bhagat, Rajiv Sharma, Ravinder Raina, Rajiv Jasrotia and Kuldeep Kumar said that the Congress is mother of all ills in the Country and PM Modi has taken a pledge to get India free of these evils. They further said that the BJP is committed for the resolution of all the problems and issues of DPs and West Pakistan Refugees.

Party leaders Premnath Dogra, Suraj Singh, Arvind Gupta, Capt. Ramesh Lal, Manmohan Singh, Som Dutt, Sanjeev Sharma, Bodh Raj, Sanjay, Mohan Prashar, Jarnail Singh, Prithvi Raj and other also addressed these rallies.

Demonetisation biggest economical face-lift since independence: Sethi

Sunil Sethi

Terming demonetization as the most significant and historical decision taken by any government post independence, State Bharatiya Janata Party Chief Spokesperson Sunil Sethi, in a press statement that it has changed the perception of belongingness to Nation building.  It has opened space for citizens who live life with honesty and has denounced materialistic progress at the cost of honesty and Nationalism.

Eradication of corruption and dishonesty had been subject of debates and claims in political circles and remained mere slogan under Congress regime. For the first time, nation is seeing an honest and effective effort by Govt of the day to take harsh step to get rid of menace of corruption, black money, fake currency and money laundering.

Sunil Sethi further said that though the decision on demonetization caused some difficulties, which at places were made more because of greed of some people but the masses stood by the effort of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to move country on the path of honesty, mutual concern and progress. Such is faith of people in Prime Minister that personal inconveniences are ignored by them for larger public good.

Prime Minister has proved himself to be Builder of Resurgent India, which will progress with integrity and honesty and where growth will be real. In new India, it will be of greater importance to be Honest and the approach of ' Chalta Hai ' will not work anymore. Awaken India will be more concerned and proactive to check any effort to pollute society.

Sethi further said that the repeated efforts by political parties to politicize the move has failed to impress the masses as people have firmly rejected double talks. With wealth in circulation and lot of money at the disposal of government, it's time to be ready for unprecedented growth and development which be usher country on path of success. He also congratulated the people to be part of historic effort of cleansing political and social life.

People should trust PM, have patience: Khanna

Avinash Rai Khanna

BJP National Vice-President & J&K Incharge Avinash Rai Khanna, during his informal talks with the party activists at Jammu on the sidelines of a programme, asked them to reach out to the masses and educate them about the benefits of demonetization. He said that the historic and bold decision to nullify the existing notes of rupees 500 and 1000 was taken with a noble motive of bringing out black money, eradicating corruption and checking the flow of fake currency. He said that the people have widely appreciated the decision on demonetization but some political parties have unleashed a false campaign to mislead the people just for their political survival.

Avinash Rai Khanna said that during the two terms of Congress, UPA-I&II, the country witnessed large scale corruption with one scam after the other getting unearthed. The Congress only talked to end corruption but in practical it did nothing to curb this menace. Now, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken a bold initiative to make India a corruption free nation, the people should support his mission and have patience if they really want corruption to be wiped out from the country.

Avinash Rai Khanna said that the BJP had gone to the people to seek votes on the promise of ending corruption and providing Good Governance with Narendra Modi as  Prime Ministerial candidate and the people displayed their faith in our party. After formation of government at the Centre, BJP led NDA government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has been taking one decision after the other with a motive of introducing work culture and fulfilling the poll promises.

Khanna said that the opposition parties have been opposing every decision of the Modi government just for the sake of opposition without understanding the need and importance of the same. After being defeated badly in the last general elections, the Congress has turned issueless and its leaders are in deep frustration as a result of which they have been left with just only one work of opposing every step of the Modi government, without knowing the beneficial impact on the country and its people.

Government Schemes to Benefit Last Man in Queue : Vibodh

mlc-vibodh-gupta-handed-over-a-new-scooty-to-a-differently-abled-personMLC Hands Over a New Scooty to a Differntly Abled Person at Rajouri BJP senior leader and MLC Vibodh Gupta today visited various far off villages of Rajouri and took stock of various developmental works being undertaken in these villages. In a special programme organized in the honor of differently abled persons, MLC handed over a brand new Scooty to Mr. Sudhir Kumar. Addressing the gathering MLC Vibodh highlighted the fact that differently abled persons are a very vital part of our society with specialized set of skills. There is a urgent need to harness these skills from such people and also give them a secure a dignified life. He retreated the fact that these people should never be called as disabled but these are the people who have been gifted different skills by God. The need of the hour is to give this realization to these people that they also have a special role in the overall development of our society.   While highlighting various Government schemes, MLC said that one of the key feature of various Government schemes is to reach to the last man in the que. He further added that the ultimate yardstick of any welfare scheme depends on weather or not its benefits have reached to the lowest to the lowest strata of our society. While appreciating various ground level developmental schemes of the Government he said that the preset Government in the state as well as in the center have taken various revolutionary steps and have made schemes which can provide direct benefit to the poor and marginalized. These schemes are the result of the futuristic vision of our Hon’ble PM Sh. Narinder Modi as well as our Hon’ble CM Ms. Mehbooba Mufti. In the absence of such visionary leaders such schemes could not have otherwise imagined or visualized in a developing country like India for several more decades to come. He called upon the officers of various Government Departments to act as a instrument of change and implement these schemes with full conviction and commitment.   Latter local people specially the women folk in these villages thanked MLC for regularly visiting them and for listening to their genuine problems.

With ‘govern’ meaning to legally control a country or its people and be responsible for introducing new laws

SS BijralWith ‘govern’ meaning to legally control a country or its people and be responsible for introducing new laws, organising public services, how significant is PM Narender Modi led BJP/NDA govt to celebrate‘Good Governance Day’ the birth day of Bharat Ratan Atal Bihari Vajpayee of December 25. Good governance is a universal public cry, vital politically. All knowing Bharat Rattan former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee a tall selfless leader, parliamentarian of long standing who  stood for high integrity, values & religiously devoted his life for nation, would welcome and laud govt decision to celebrate his birthday of Dec. 25 as Sushasan Divas (Good Governance Day), said S.S. Bijral former IGP & BJP State Spokesperson. It is to ingrain and strengthen national spirit of service and not to be just customary to celebrate the day. Bijral said  let us remember what we inherited after UPA two term rule- a weak economy riddled with scams and mass corruption, insecurity on borders and within, a fallen national pride with good governance a stark casualty. So ‘Good Governance’ has to be our year long cry. Absence of ‘good governance’, is what fueled J&k state’s turmoil, it is witnessing for decades. It earned tag of being 2nd most corrupt state in country. Politicians of the times played their own flute bothering only for elections to stay in power at the cost of poor. Former IGP said media alone  serves best the cause of good governance for it gives voice to public heart beat, brings authoritative minds to accountability under assertion of PM Narender Modi: “Good governance with good intentions is the hall mark of our govt; implementation with integrity is our core passion.” Let us all celebrate year long the birthday of Bharat Ratan Atal Ji through our deeds where ever and whatever we are at knowing what our dynamic Prime Minister  Narinder Modi announced: “ The govt’s job is good governance for everybody. My govt will make policies; if you fit into it come on board or stay where you are. My job is not to spoon feed anymore.”

NC exploiting the people on non issues: Prof. Virender

Prof. Virender Gupta

BJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta strongly criticized the separatist leaders and also the National Conference for exploiting the people of Kashmir Valley on non-issues and trying to keep pot boiling for their vested interests. He said that granting of identification certificate, by no means can be equated to domicile certificate or to the state subject, he said. He charged them for raising communal passion of the people of Valley, instigating extreme communalism  and dividing the people of the state on communal lines and said that their this policy has resulted in the exodus of Kashmiri Pandita and other minority communities.

The Spokesperson questioned the leaders of National Conference about their policies of discrimination on the basis of religion, such as allowing Muslim Tibetan refugees and the Muslims from rest of the country to settle in J&K state while providing them permanent citizenship rights, whereas refusing the same rights to those who came in J&K state on the invitation of State Government for cleaning the cities and removing the garbages. He also questioned the Muslim leaders of Kashmir Valley for making hue and cry on the decision of setting up of Sainik Colony for the state subject holder army personnel and developing colonies for the Kashmiri Pandits and other minority communities, who suffered exodus from the Valley. He also asked them that why a state subject holder from Jammu and Ladakh regions face resistance in getting settled in the Valley, where as there is no such resistance or restrictions for their settlement in Jammu and Ladakh regions. “Are the Kashmiri leaders not tempering with the demography of these regions”, he asked.

The Spokesperson also questioned that why the State Government and the Kashmiri leaders do not feel concern for large scale migration  of Muslims from Bangladesh and Mayanmar, though they are not only changing the demography of the State, in particular of Jammu region, but also causing security concern to the state and the nation.  He cautioned them these this approach is not going to pay any dividents on the otherwise they word be loser in the final end. He added that whose of the world is united against the fundamentalism that gives birth to the terrorist activities. He also said that the intelligentia of the country and that of the world do not appreciate their designs and they are losing even sympathy of the so-called activists of human rights.

BJP stands firmly on its commitments: Prof. Virender

Prof. Virender Gupta

State BJP Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta, while reacting to the cirticism launched by the opposition parties, particularly Congress and National Panthers Party and some Jammu based political/social groups that BJP has made U-Turn in the matter of granting state citizenship to the West Pakistan Refugee which was part of its Election Manifesto, said that BJP in no case has back tracked from its commitments to the people of Jammu region. He added that BJP stand firmly on its promises to the people and to its ideology.

The Spokesperson was critical of Congress and NPP, the parties which made bundle of promises and always betrayed the people of Jammu region to appease the Kshmiri leadership. He reminded that even in 2002 elections, Congress party made the promise to the people in particularly to POJK displaced persons, West Pakistan Refugee and to the people of Jammu region, in general for giving justice to the people of Jammu region in the matter of development, their due representation in the state services and in the state assembly, but there was a very little movement was made in the direction of fulfilling these promises. The promises were made even by a person like Ghulam Nabi Azad who shared the Chief Minister of the state after 2002 elections. The leaders of Panthers Party when were Ministers in Mufti Sayeed Government, did not utter a single word even in favour of its famous damand of reorganiztion of Jammu and Kashmir State with Jammu being a separate state. It is a cruel joke with the West Pakistan Refugee that the President of State Congress Party toes the line of separatists whereas its Jammu leadership asks for granting citizenship rights to them and it leadership at the Centre, including its Vice-President, Rahul Gandhi has preferred to observe silence on the issue.

Prof. Virender said that State BJP has always focused itself on all the issues pertaining to the people of Jammu region and to its commitments to them and is moving forward step-by-step in that direction. He said that the recent decision about the West Pakistan Refugees and the policy of the Government of India to provide them a dignified life have been well received by the refugees who have welcomed those, wholeheartedly.

SARFAESI Act being used to incite Valley people: Sethi

Sunil Sethi

BJP State Chief Spokesperson Sunil Sethi, in a statement, said that issue of SARFAESI Act is blown out of proportion without any justification by some leaders in Kashmir Valley to incite people. Strangely they are joined by so called legal experts from Valley, who themselves have defended SARFAESI Act and powers of Parliament to enact and extend it to the state of Jammu and Kashmir, while appearing in High Court as counsels for parties. The politics of opportunism has already done much damage to Kashmir Valley as also whole state, both economically and politically and vested elements are again trying to mislead public for their petty gains from both sides. The people have to understand the game plan of exploiters and not to become victim to their gimmicks.

Sunil Sethi further said that the Judgment of Supreme Court has rightly held that all sovereign attributes are vested with India. He said Jammu and Kashmir is just one state of the Indian Union like so many other states, which has been declared by both Constitution of India as also of Jammu and Kashmir with only exception of vesting some more powers with state than other states because of special status it enjoys under same Constitution of India.

He said that the people of the state, particularly in Valley, has been misled by vested political and separatist elements since independence on false dreams of fringe sovereignty of State within Indian Constitution, which is not acceptable.  J&K state is part of a sovereign country that is India and in no circumstances a part can be equal to whole. The accession of State to India was complete and non negotiable.  Instrument of Accession signed by the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir was same as was signed by other rulers.

Sunil Sethi further said that statements made by Omar Abdullah about non-defending of case before Supreme Court is childish and factually untrue. It was during his government that State had taken similar stand in High Court by filing written reply. Omar is trying to play politics by making false statements. State can't argue against what is obvious position of law and no court would have upheld legally part of judgment of Jammu and Kashmir High Court on observations of vestige of sovereignty with Jammu and Kashmir.

Showing respect to National Anthem is first duty: Sethi

Sunil Sethi

The direction of Supreme Court of India on playing national anthem in Cinema Halls before each movie show and directions for everyone to stand in respect except those who are having handicap has led to situation where most of people present in Cinema Halls playing National Anthem are standing in attention to show respect but there are some people who aren't showing respect to National Anthem for whatsoever reason other than handicap which at times lead to altercation.

BJP Chief Spokesperson, Sunil Sethi has said in press release that everyone present in Cinema Hall should stand in respect when National Anthem is playing unless he is exempted and not standing in respect to National Anthem is not only contempt of Supreme Court but also insult to National Anthem which entails penal consequences.

He said that National Anthem is being played even in some movies as part of story like in recent movie Dangal and its very sad that certain people don't stand up to show respect while majority is standing. Cinema officials are also required to stop movie to put notice of coming of National Anthem for people to stand up. Act of defiance to showing respect to National Anthem can't be overlooked. Citizens who don't respect National Anthem and National Flag deserve no sympathy.

Sunil Sethi further asked the public that wherever they see such defiance or disrespect they should ask person concern to stand up or leave Cinema Hall till National Anthem is being played and in case of resistance they should report matter to Cinema authorities to ask person concerned to leave hall or to report to police. It is sacred duty of all citizens to not only show respect to National Anthem and National Flag but also to see to it that nobody disrespect them. He also called upon police authorities to view defiance seriously to implement Judgment of Supreme Court effectively.

Maintaining peace and communal harmony is very important and so is maintaining prestige and honour of National Symbols.  Sunil Sethi reiterated that all liberties and rights flows only from Nation and are available only to persons who take pride in being Indians and performing Fundamental Duties.

Forces behind Kashmir trouble be investigated, prosecuted: Sethi

Sunil Sethi

Violence in Kashmir in recent months which was engineered by anti-national forces from across the border and their supporters and stooges inside the border leading to destruction of public properties, unfortunate deaths of scores of people, injuries including grievous to many persons and disruption of life has put the living of common man in trouble and it will take time for everything to come back to track and people to recover from losses, monetary as well as psychological because of recent violence .

Sunil Sethi Chief Spokesperson of State Bharatiya Janata Party said in a statement that with situation largely under control now, it is right time for govt to direct an enquiry by Retd. Judge of High Court to identify the forces which were responsible for causing the trouble and to suggest measures to be taken to stop reoccurring of such incidents in future. The forces found involved in causing trouble in Valley and elsewhere should be properly investigated and prosecuted to ensure punishment to guilty under law of land to set example and to create deterrence.

Unless the culprits and trouble makers are brought to books and strict action taken against them, the incidents like this revisiting can't be ruled out as has happened in the past. The role of political elements and so called social workers should also be put to scrutiny as none is above law and protecting life and properties of public is foremost duty of govt. These types of troubles are not acceptable in any system of governance and has to be dealt with heavy hands so that common man can live in peace.

Sunil Sethi further said that demonetization has already broken the backbone of financial support to trouble makers and separatists and their capacity to hire stone pelters has become nonexistent and its right time to destroy the culture of terror and trouble for all times to come to give hope to peace loving citizens of this great country living in Kashmir of living in peace with their families and without fear of violence.

Sunil Sethi welcomed grant of Residents Certificate to West Pakistan Refugees living in state who have got identity after struggle of so many decades. Govt. of BJP and PDP has taken first step in doing justice to them which was long due and their birth right. He said many more things are required to be done for their benefits within Constitution to address their demands and remove all troubles from their lives so that feeling of Nationals without Nation is taken away.

Cong, others being pushed to the wall: Aseem

aseem-guptaStating that the almost clean sweep by BJP in Chandigarh Municipal Corporation elections is the massive endorsement of the programmes and policies of Narendra Modi government at the Centre, BJP State Secretary Aseem Gupta said that the Congress has faced one more blow. He said that from 2014 onwards, BJP has been achieving success in every election while Congress and other parties are being further pushed to the wall. “The splendid victory in Lok Sabha, followed by successive wins in elections of Assemblies and Urban Local Bodies, is the reflective of the mindset of the voters who have made up their mind to contribute and help Narendra Modi in making the country Congress Mukt”, Aseem said and added that with every election, Congress in particular is fast losing ground and the faith of the people across the country. Aseem Gupta said that the successive victories of BJP is also outcome of the fact that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been serving the nation selflessly and launching mega developmental projects and welfare schemes aimed at bringing progress and prosperity in the country. He said that the Congress ruled the country for decades together but is not in a position to regain the faith of the masses, the reasons being best known to its leadership. The recent historic decision on demonetization has been widely appreciated and the trust of the people got more strengthened in the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The people got convinced that Narendra Modi is working towards fulfilling his promise of making India a corruption free country but the opposition parties have been opposing it since day first, which has also sent a message to the public that Congress has turned issueless and left with just work of opposing every step of the Modi government, without knowing the beneficial impact on the country and its people, he added. The BJP leader appealed the people to support BJP led NDA government in its drive against corruption, black money and fake currency and do not get misled by the false and baseless propaganda unleashed by Congress.  He expressed hope that the people will get united to defeat Congress in every election and contribute in further strengthening  BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Turned irrelevant, Karra making false statements: Sunil Sethi

Sunil SethiFormer Member of Parliament Tariq Hamid Karra has taken resort to falsehood propaganda to remain in circulation and limelight for political gains.

Bharatiya Janata Party also asks Mr. Karra to desist from making false statements and claims by recklessly involving name of BJP and should involve himself in constructive politics with principles and for welfare of masses instead of cheap publicity stunts.

Omar needs to reinvent his role: Prof  Virender

Prof.-Virender-Gupta

BJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta said that Omar’s statement on the Supreme Court Judgment on the application of Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest (SARFAESI) Act in Jammu and Kashmir that J&K constitution can neither be circumvented not subverted display his ignorance of the even J&K’s Constitution and subsequent amendments  in the State Constitution and extension of about 260 Central laws to the State of which more than 20 central laws were extended to the state after the Grand Pa of Omar took rein of the state in 1975. He said that Omar has also forgotten the decision of his Grand Pa agreeing to the finding of then  Deputy Chief Minister, Justice DD Thakur that all the Centre laws extending to the state till 1975 were for the benefit of the people of Jammu & Kashmir and the clock could not be reversed back to give go by to the Central laws.

Prof. Virender Gupta further said that Rule 85 of SARFAESI Act 2002 clearly says that in case of sale of immovable property in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, the provisions of Jammu & Kashmir Transfer Property Act, 1977 shall apply to the person who acquires such property in the state. Therefore, outburst of Omar against the Supreme Court Judgment is unjustified and ignorance of the realities.

Prof. Virender Gupta appreciated the Judgment of Supreme Court in making the facts straight with regard to relations between Jammu and Kashmir and the Government of India and also about the constitutional position of the state. The observations of SC that “the State of Jammu and Kashmir has no vestige of sovereignty outside the Constitution of India and its own Constitution is subordinate to the Constitution of India, it is therefore wholly incorrect to describe it as being sovereign in the sense of its residents.......The residents of Jammu & Kashmir are first and fore-most citizen of India”  has far reaching consequences . He said that as per SC judgment there is no dual citizenship.

Prof. Virender Gupta said that these observations of Supreme Court provides an opening window for the West Pakistan refugees who have so far been deprived of Permanent Resident rights even after 70 years of their residing in the state. He asked Omar to see the realities in the light of SC observation that Section 1 of Indian Constitution alongwith Section 3 of State Constitution are beyond the pole of amendments. He further said that the state constitution derives  its existence by virtue of the constitution of India and the constitution that created it can demolish it also.

Prof. Virender advised Omar not to live in fool’s paradise and mislead the people of Jammu and Kashmir, the time clock cannot go back; neither you get the situation of 1947 nor of 1953. He asked him to utilize his energy in the development of the state and to reinvent his role as was performed being the State Foreign Minister during Vajpayee’s Government

Pol parties, citizens should respect SC judgment: Sethi

Sunil Sethi

The recent judgment of the Supreme Court of India on SARFAESI Act lays down in categorical terms what is legal and factual position of Jammu and Kashmir as a constituent unit of India. It has conclusively held that there is no concept of partially sovereignty of Jammu and Kashmir State and that attributes of sovereignty are exclusively vested with India, noted Chief Spokesperson of State Bharatiya Janata Party Sunil Sethi.

The consistent and vicious feeding to public particularly in Kashmir of Separatists and even some mainstream political forces about Kashmir Nationalism and attributes of sovereignty of State has been laid to rest by authoritative pronouncement by Supreme Court that there are no vestiges of sovereignty in the state. This landmark judgment has taken turf from under feet of ideology of Separate Identity of Kashmir.

Sunil Sethi called upon all political forces and citizens to show respect to judgment and be united under flag of Nationalism, that is India. Game plan of separatists and their supporters including new political friends stands exposed before public and are now trying to make illogical and unreasonable efforts of speaking against judgment or efforts of State in projecting cause before Supreme Court.

He said Jammu and Kashmir is a proud part of India and Constitution of State as well as Constitution of India declares that it clear terms. Pleading cause of limited accession is turning blind eye to reality. Instrument of Accession signed by Maharaja of Jammu Kashmir was exactly same as was signed by other states. Illegality was committed by so called Delhi Agreement between Nehru and Sheikh and its aftermath which is historic blunder which has put state in all its present day problems.

Opposition always exploited DPs, refugees: Sat

Sat Paul Sharma (CA)

Reiterating his party’s commitment towards mitigating sufferings of the Displaced Persons of PoJK and refugees from West Pakistan, BJP State President & MLA Sat Sharma charged the opposition parties of having exploited these hapless people right from 1947. He said that none of the parties, except BJP, has accepted it as a human problem and considered the same in a humane way.

Sat Sharma said that it has been BJP, which right from the day one of its birth, remained in forefront to highlight the plight of DPs and refugees. Our party formed government at the Centre first time in 1996 with Atal Behari Vajpayee as PM and Financial Assistance was provided to the then State Government for distribution among DPs and refugees but due to the non-seriousness on part of the Kashmir-centric government, the same was diverted for some other purposes. He further said that now when BJP government is again in power at the Centre and also in coalition in the state, the issues of PoJK and West Pakistan Refugees have been vigorously persuaded as a result of which NDA government has sanctioned and released rupees 2000 crores for DPs from PoJK. Not only this, the Modi government has also announced a number of concessions for refugees from West Pakistan and their genuine demands are very much under active consideration of the Modi government.

As far opposition parties making hue and cry over rupees 2000 crores financial assistance, Sat Sharma made it clear that this amount is neither final nor an end and added that the BJP will continue to pursue the cases of DPs and refugees till the fulfillment of their every genuine demand.  

Sat further said that large number of DPs of 1947 are still landless as they have not been allotted the land under SRO 578/C, whereas 20 lakh kanal of state land was illegally occupied during the rule of then state governments of Congress and NC. Now the Govt. of BJP under the leadership of Narendra Modi has came forward with sincere concern to mitigate the problems of DPs once and for all but opposition parties have again started playing politics with the innocent DPs of 1947, 65 and 71, which is most unfortunate and highly condemnable.

Is ‘notorious’ pellet gun use avoidable

SS Bijral

 Recent unrest in Kashmir valley created clamour across local population against usage of ‘pellet gun’, a crowd control weapon, for it caused deaths and eye injuries beyond recovery. The question: ‘Is the notorious pellet gun use avoidable’ bothers those seeing young protesters as country’s own.

S.S.Bijral former IGP backed by his rich experience in handling crowd control particularly in valley felt that the direction of Supreme Court to the Centre and J&K state ‘that the pellet gun should not be used indiscriminately and excessively for controlling unruly mob’ is valuing the spirit that the protesters, though enemy instigated, are but our own nationals having the secured right to protest. There is nothing new in this direction.

 In the crowd control, existing law mandates ‘minimum force shall be used to disburse the crowd’. This direction, however, is significant as it upheld decision of J&K HC rejecting J&K High Court Bar Association plea to ban ‘pellet gun use’. Bijral, however, said that the public cry and limited use direction of the apex court has thrown a workable challenge of controlling crowd respecting human dignity as one death was caused and hundreds injured, admitted by Home Minister in Lok Sabha, by use of pellet gun.

Bijral BJP state spokesperson felt that armed police well trained to face law and order need to invest extra to strengthen own capabilities to keep at bay the stone pelters as they stand securely protected physically. He recalled successful commanders of armed police always had their force kept well tuned and fit to brace rioters, howsoever, violent through actual heavy stone pelting exercises to their men in units following time tested words of Norman Schwarzkopf : “Those who sweat in peace bleed less in war”. The police troupes so trained disarmed their opponent by accepting and controlling the stones pelted. The local commanders, Bijral said, would do well to mind that protesters with stones are our own people and bullet that is answer only to the bullet, cannot be answer to the stone.

The pellet gun, non lethal, is bound to be used by security forces equipped to take on armed militants and not the riotous crowd. For this ground reality CM Mehbooba Mufti on record had questioned those crying against use of pellet gun, “had they gone to forces camp to have pakoras that they faced pellets of the gun,” and very rightly so? The riotous youth, it is hoped would do well to stay away from forces camps

Prof.-Virender-Gupta

BJP State Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta, said that the repeated incidents of robbery in the branches of J&K Bank smells the connivance of the concerned banks authorities and the slackness of the administrative machinery.

Thus counter the efforts of Government of India to check the transaction of Hawala Money to the terrorists and other separatist elements, thus making it as an unfruitful exercise in the valley. He said that this could not have happened had there been no nexus between the banks employees, police administration and persons in the state administration.

The Spokesperson asked the state government, particular to those at the helm of affairs in the police department, to show their sincerity and commitment to their duties and to the nation, take necessary steps to catch hard of  those involved in bank robberies and to enhance the security and make appropriate arrangement to check the repetition of such events.

He asked, in particular to the bank authorities to device a mechanism not only to ensure the safety of the banks but also probe the involvement of the bank employees in such like episodes. He further said that through the situation in the valley started showing improvement because of a feeble response of the public in general, to the bandh calls of the separatists, but the anti-national forces and their sympathizers are still active and are in search of opportunities to hit. He said that the terrorists from across the border have got regrouped and trying to sneeze into the Indian side to create disturbances with the help of Pro-Pak elements in Jammu and Kashmir. Therefore, he called upon the government not to show slackness and take such decisions that boost the morale of the anti-India forces and demoralize the security forces those are laying down their lives for the integrity of the country and security of common people.

Parliament disruptions harmed interests of women: Rekha

rekha-mahajan

The fate of many important legislative bills are still stuck as they were listed for business but did not come up for discussion even once due to stalling of the Parliament proceedings by opposition party. This was stated by BJP Mahila Morcha District President Rekha Mahajan while expressing concern over the uncalled for protests and slogans by Congress in particular over the issue of demonetization and said that the disrupting Parliament proceeding has harmed the interests of the women.

Rekha Mahajan said that it is most unfortunate and glaring example of discriminatory attitude towards the women of the country that today even after a long period of twenty years,  much awaited Women Reservation Bill continues to languish in Lok Sabha. This Bill, is one of the longest pending legislations in the Indian Parliament, which  seeks 33.33 per cent seats  to be reserved for women in the Lok Sabha or the Lower House of Indian Parliament and in the State Legislative Assemblies. This Bill was introduced in the Indian Parliament long back in 1996.

Although after a long battle, the Bill was passed by the Rajya Sabha in 2010, but it never made to the Lok Sabha and could not become a law and implemented.

Rekha Mahajan said that it was highly expected that the bill would be passed unanimously in Lok Sabha during the current session but again failed to see the light of the day because of the continuous uproar created by the opposition in the Parliament on the issue of Demonetization.

“On one hand the opposition parties, Congress in particular talk about welfare, empowerment of women but take a total U-turn when it comes to extend support for any legislation exclusively for women which is pending since long. She appealed the womenfolk to themselves see as to who is concerned for their social, economic and political empowerment and who is against any such initiative which has the potential of bringing them at par with men.

Demonetization is master stroke on black money: Balbir 

balbir-ram

Recoveries of large amounts of old and new currency notes from different places across the country is the indicative that PM Narendra Modi’s move to bring out black money has started giving results, thus proving demonetization a decision in the right direction. This was stated by BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan.

Claiming that demonetization has started bringing out black money, Balbir said that with each passing day old and new currency notes of higher denominations are being recovered in crores and lakhs, which is indeed a promising development.

He said that although Congress used to talk of ending corruption but it was never serious on the issue, which is clear from the fact that almost all the scams and corruption related cases took place during the rule of the Congress. He said that PM Modi has displayed real concern and his commitment to root out corruption and hence taken a bold and historic decision to declare invalid the existing currency notes of rupees 500 and 1000, an initiative aimed at bringing out black money, fake currency and ending corruption.

“Narendra Modi has became the first Prime Minister of the country, who has taken lead in making India corruption-free, which deserve appreciation by one and all but unfortunately Congress and other opposition parties have been opposing it from the day one”, Balbir said and added that it is most unfortunate that the issue of such great importance is being politicized for the sake of politics.

The present chaos and commotion created by the Congress in the Parliament speaks of the level of desperation and frustration of the Congress. Demonetization is such a master stroke by the Prime Minister that it will have its long lasting impact and prove a big boon for the restoration and the revival of the Indian Economy, which has suffered a lot during the Congress regime.

The Spokesperson appealed to the general public to trust the most revered  Prime Minister, who has sought 50 days time and see how the black sheeps are exposed. The day is not far when India shall regain its glory that has been lost during the rule of the Congress in post independent era, he added.

BJP rebuts NC criticism over cash assistance to DPs

balbir-ram

Party must introspect what they did while in power : Balbir

State unit of BJP today strongly refuted the allegation of NC leader Ajay Sadhotra that distribution of Financial Assistance among Displaced Persons of POJK is biggest betrayal by the government with the refugees. Countering what the senior NC leader has stated, the BJP has said that before going public on such a vital issue, the opposition parties must introspect their own role and efforts, if any, over the same, while they were in power for decades.

BJP State Spokesperson, Balbir Ram Rattan, while rubbishing the statement of NC leader as nothing but outburst of  deep frustration and envy over the historic decision of Narendra Modi government at the centre for providing rupees 2000 crores package for DPs and the commencement of distributing of the financial assistance to the Displaced Persons of Pakistan Occupied Jammu & Kashmir, said that it was infact, NC and Congress, which remained in power for maximum time after independence but did not bother to consider the grievances of DPs on humanitarian grounds, leave alone having given sympathetic thought to it.

Strongly contesting the accusations, Balbir questioned NC leader as to what did his own party do during all these years after independence except befooling the hapless Displaced Persons and refugees from West Pakistan; how much financial assistance was provided to DPs and which of the long pending demands of West Pakistan Refugees were acceded by NC while in power in the State ? It would be in the fitness of things if NC first comes out with its own role in the past towards DPs and refugees from West Pakistan and then point fingers towards the sincere and committed efforts of the Modi government.

The BJP State Spokesperson wondered as to why NC is bent upon politicizing the issue instead of looking at it through the human angle and appreciate the step, which has been widely applauded by the beneficiaries. “Why doesn’t NC shun its cheap politics and stand by Modi government’s initiative”, he leader questioned the party leader.

Opposing every decision and action of the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre and BJP coalition in the state has become part of the routine politics of the NC and Congress, Balbir said adding that  these parties have no concern over the plight and welfare of the DPs or refugees but remaining in news for the sake of political survival makes them to oppose everything, be it any  development issue, welfare or meeting the long pending and genuine demands of the people who have been living here for 70 years as refugees or Displaced Persons. However, the good thing amid this clamouring and criticizing attitude of the opposition is that people are paying no heed to their utterings, the BJP leader said.

balbir-ramWith the distribution of cheques amounting to rupees 5.5 lakh each among families of the Displaced Persons of 1947, 1965 and 1971 under ‘Prime Minister’s Development Plan’ for POJK, the process for providing assistance to these people has officially been kicked off by BJP-PDP coalition government in Jammu & Kashmir. It was indeed a historic moment for the POJK Displaced Persons, whose three generations have perished while agitating for decades after they left their homes and hearths besides losing their family members. In a official handout, BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, said that Narendra Modi, the BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate in 2014 General elections, had promised to consider and fulfill the demands of the POJK displaced persons of 1947, 65 and 71. Within two years of taking over as Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has kept his promise and provided rupees 2000 crore as assistance to be distributed among the affected families residing in the state. Balbir said that it has been most unfortunate that despite ruling the country for maximum period after independence, the Congress did nothing for the welfare and development of the Displaced Persons from POJK, although assurances were given to them. He said that the long pending issue now stands resolved with the continuous efforts of the BJP as coalition partner in the state government, which had been building pressure and kept reminding the Prime Minister about the genuine demand of the DPs from POJK. The BJP Spokesperson said that by distributing the assistance among the DPs, the government has not done any favour to them but took their pain and plight on humanitarian grounds and provided of what they had been deprived for so long.

Opposition wasting crucial Parliament time, huge public money: BJP

balbir-ramTheir conduct hindering formulating vital policies: Balbir The role of the Opposition in a democracy is to censure and keep check on government’s functioning. Criticizing the government baselessly and drawing attention to their irrational and illogical arguments only hinders the formulating of crucial policies during the session. This was stated by BJP State Spokesperson  Balbir Ram Rattan, who contend that by stalling the proceedings of both the Houses of the Parliament, Congress and other parties of its ilk, stand exposed on the issue of demonetization. These parties are making hue and cry on the issue of demonetization by alleging that the decision is against the interests of the common people, whereas the fact remains that the people in majority have appreciated the move.  Balbir further said that masses fully realize whatever drama is being enacted and ‘roles’ being played by opposition parties is nothing but a political stunt. It is nothing but wastage of the time of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, besides a heavy loss of public money, which is very unfortunate, he lamented. Balbir reminded these parties that each minute of running Parliament during sessions costs the exchequer Rs. 2.5 lakh. This is public money, which is being wasted as no business is allowed due to the adamant attitude of the opposition. On one hand, the opposition parties are shedding tears on the name of common people, on the other they are wasting hard earned money of the common people by not allowing the Parliament to conduct its proceedings for days now. Demonetization has been widely appreciated across the country by every such Indian who want the country to be corruption free with no place for black money and by opposing majority’s opinion, the opposition parties have displayed a posture of being against the wishes of the people. He said the seasoned politicians of opposition know it very well that important decisions are taken during Parliament session and its functioning requires a lot of public money. Opposition has a right to disagree but this dissent should be voiced during the slotted time instead of wasting whole day and proceedings. He said even President of the country Pranab Mukherjee has expressed concern over conduct of the opposition in Parliament and observed that this amounts to holding the government, which is in majority, to hostage in a way.

BJP fulfilled its poll promise to Labhana Community: Dr Narinder

Dr. Narinder Singh copyBJP State General Secretary Dr. Narinder Singh, while conveying party’s congratulations to the members of the Labhana Community of the state for getting OBC status, said that it was a promise made to these people while election campaigning of 2014 elections and the same stands fulfilled by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre.

NC getting exposed for its dual character: Sethi

Sunil Sethi

National Conference, when out of power, becomes anti-National Conference and indulges in making repeated attempts to regain power. National interests for NC are less important than its lust for power and is making sort of reckless statements, even against national interests for cheap publicity and for gaining support and sympathy of separatists. It is getting exposed with each passing day for its dual character. This was stated in press release by Bharatiya Janata Party State Chief Spokesperson Sunil Sethi.

He said that Dr. Farooq Abdullah going closer to Hurriyat Conference is only evidence of prevailing truth and shows real colours of National Conference as an most opportunistic class, who will stoop to any level for cheap publicity and electoral gains. It believes in no principles in politics but befooling people and dividing them in the name of regions for petty gains.

Sunil Sethi further said that statement made by Dr. Farooq Abdullah about 10 PDP MLAs offering support to him to form govt is concerned, is just another publicity stunt by veteran leader without any truth or basis.  He challenged Dr. Farooq Abdullah to disclose the names of such persons if he has any faith in maintaining transparency in public life.

BJP Chief Spokesperson noted that with political base of National Conference becoming very thin the party now being in a state of shock, its leaders are making desperate efforts to be relevant who are crossing all cannons of morality even to the extent of making statements which are false and anti national. Dr. Farooq Abdullah was sidelined by his son while toppling him to become Chief Minister, has been activated again because of his ability to make controversial statements for publicity purposes only.

BJPMM organizes awareness programme on Cashless Economy

bjpmm-organizes-awareness Shift from cash to cashless transactions : Rekha In order to make students aware about the concept of "Cashless Economy ", Bharatiya Janata Party Mahila Morcha (BJPMM) District Jammu President Rekha Mahajan organised a programme on cashless transactions in co-ordination with IT & Social Media Department of BJP, at Government College for Women, Parade, Jammu. She was accompanied by State Secretary, Mahila Morcha Neeru Anand, Savita Anand, Neha Gupta and other activists of the Morcha. In this programme, Rekha Mahajan explained the benefits of being cashless. She said that only cashless societies are generally corruption free. In India, 98% of corruption exists only due to cash system because cash is not traceable, not accountable and not controlled by government. As has been practice since centuries, the cash can be used easily everywhere in country so we cannot become corruption free unless we are cash free. If people are carrying less money there are less chances of snatching ,robbery,thefts or other types of crimes .Going cashless dethrone terrorists and criminals. It brings transparency and boosts economy because cost of managing paper money is high. It also adds up to environment as no tree will be cut for printing paper. She asked the students to shift their transactions from cash to cashless facility and also educate others to follow the same as it will be their contribution towards making India a corruption free, fake currency free nation with no place for black money. State Incharge, IT & Social Media Department,  Jaidev Rajwal, while giving the detailed presentation on the subject, said that the ‘Mobile Wallets’ will have a number of modes including ‘e-wallet’, ‘Unified Payments Interface’ (UPI), ‘Cards, PoS’ for Swiping, ‘Unstructured Supplementary Service Data’ (USSD) for linking Mobile No. to one’s bank account,  ‘Aadhar’ Enabled Payment System for funds transfer, Balance Enquiry, Cash Deposit or Withdrawal and Interbank transaction through Thump Impression. He said that any information related to the Mobile Wallets can be enquired from the IT Cell of the party also.

Frooq famous for politics of opportunism: Prof Virender

Prof.-Virender-Gupta

BJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta strongly criticized the statement of Farooq Abdullah, NC President & former CM, telling Hurriyat that NC is not its enemy; that National Conference is with Hurriyat in its ongoing agitation in Kashmir Valley and asking it to move forward and NC is with Hurriyat till its steps are on right track; asking NC workers not to remain away from the ongoing agitation which he called as struggle for right and justice abusing  India and Indian forces as murderers”. He said that the statement of Farooq Abdullah proves beyond any doubt that NC and its workers are behind the present ongoing agitation launched by separatists and Pakistan sponsored terrorists. He asked Farooq whether he endorses the carrying of ISIS and Pakistani flags and raising pro-Pakistan, pro-Azadi and anti-India slogans; the stone pelting by youth, burning of schools; calls of bandh by Hurriyat which is being observed for the last more than  three months. He also asked that whether NC workers were behind all these acts, including stone pelting; attacking police posts. He charged Farooq of blow hot and cold in the same breadth praising Indian Prime Minister in one voice and vomiting poison against India and Indian government at the same time.

The Spokesperson reminded Farooq Abdullah of his tenure as Chief Minister after 1996, when he tried to curb the separatists, Hurriyat leaders and the terrorists to remain in power and the role of NC in 2010, when Omar Abdullah as Chief Minister put hundreds of stone pelters and secessionists behind the bars. He also reminded Farooq of his statements when he was Chief Minister during NDA rule at the Centre and Omar of his role as Minister of State Foreign Affairs in the Vajpayee Government. Farooq’s recent  statement and his statements during NDA rule at the Centre clearly reflects that Farooq was always opportunist and all his actions are merely to achieve political ends and he always turn coats for his own personal benefits.

Prof. Virender Gupta asked other leaders of NC including Davender Rana, S.S. Salathia and Ajay Sadhotra, whether they endorse the statement of their leader Farooq Abdullah? How can they support and defend such utterances of Farooq and Omar, Gupta questioned.

BJP National General Secretary Ram Madhav, along with State President & MLA Sat Sharma and State General Secretary (organization) Ashok Koul, chaired a meeting of BJP State office bearers, senior leaders and Morcha Presidents at Trikuta Nagar Office and reviewed the ongoing political and organizational activities in the state besides the working of different departments. Ram Madhav was also briefed about the mobilization of party activitsts at different levels to highlight the  achievements of the BJP –led NDA government at the centre and the BJP coalition in Jammu and Kashmir.

Addressing the meeting, Ram Madhav said that the BJP government under PM Narendra Modi, during the last two and half years, has taken a number of bold decisions which have long bearing consequences and aimed to make India one of the leading countries of the world. Not merely reformative but it has taken transformative decisions to put India on the track of rapid development while meeting the aspirations of common masses, down trodden and under privileged classes. The goal of the present NDA government is not to enjoy power but to ensure country’s dignified place at the international level. Its decisions with regard to empowering the common masses, providing the essential facilities to the people and in the matter of defence, foreign affairs, communication sector and in the economic fields are commendable.

Ram Madhav said that demonetization in India is one of the bold and transformative decision which will serve multiple purposes like breaking the back of black money, diminish fake currency, hawala transactions, give severe blow to drug mafia and the funding to terrorists and anti-national elements. It is true that people in general have to face little inconvenience at few places but for the good of the country, the countrymen should be prepared to face some hardships. He said that it was a major and courageous step that no previous government ever dared to take. He stressed upon the party leaders attending the meeting to devote more time to the party and reach out the masses to educate them about the benefits of demonetization and dozens of centrally sponsored schemes and expose the opposition parties for their misinformation campaign unleashed to tarnish the image of the Modi government.

Blaming BJP is ridiculous: Brig Gupta

anil

Taking a dig at the joint statement issued by NC leaders blaming BJP for ‘policy paralysis’ leading to unstable security environment, Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of BJP has said that it appears that the NC leadership is suffering from paranoia. Their statements are not only irrational but also self-contradictory. Only the other day their leader Omar Abdullah had blamed the Central Government for the “Surgical Strikes” against terrorist launch pads leading to increase in terror attacks. “I would like to remind the NC leaders that it was this policy decision of the BJP government which led to a paradigm shift of strategy in dealing with the ‘rogue’ state of Pakistan. Pakistan not only suffered losses but also humiliation that led their DGMO to plead for a talk with our DGMO. It had never happened earlier,” emphasized Brig Gupta.

Responding to the baseless accusation that BJP leaders and local MP were missing from the scene of action during the terror attack at an Army camp in Nagrota, Brig Gupta stated that Army has a well-oiled and well-tested command and control system. They do not require intervention and interference from non-professionals. In the instant case the Army was competent enough to handle the situation and there was no justification for the politicians to be there. What did the local MLA achieve by being there except for “photo op “ sessions with TV journalists and if in any manner he assisted in the conduct of the operations , questioned Brig Gupta? BJP leaders do not believe in show-off but they are firmly rooted to the ground and are present wherever the circumstances require them to be present. It is the local NC leadership that needs to prove their loyalty to the people of Jammu because they are only heard parroting and supporting pro-Pak rants of their valley based leaders.

RakshaMantri Manohar Parrikar has been candid enough in accepting the lapses which occurred at ground level and blaming the Central Government for those lapses is not only irrational but naive. Mr Parrikar has hinted at taking necessary remedial measures rather than indulging in unnecessary blame game for which he needs to be complimented said Brig Gupta. The fact remains that local NC leaders have no voice of their own and have to say what pleases their masters because they are subservient to dynastic politics remarked the spokesperson.

NC, Hurriyat trying to appease Pakistan: BJP

anilIt appears that NC is trying to edge out Hurriyat as Pakistan’s mouthpiece as is evident from the pro-Pakistan statements being made by its leaders almost on daily basis. What is most surprising that the Jammu based leaders of NC are also not only singing in unison with their aakaas but also openly defending them on the national media?  Reacting sharply to the recent statement of Omar Abdullah, “Don’t be under the false impression that the unrest you are seeing in Kashmir has been ignited by Pakistan. We found that some people at the Centre willingly or unwillingly wanted to keep themselves ignorant about the situation in Kashmir. It was easy for them to blame Pakistan,” Brig Anil Gupta, BJP State Spokesperson, stated that the timing of the statement is interesting and has obviously been made to help Pakistan. Explaining further, Brig Gupta said that after the recent Pak-sponsored terror attack at Nagrota, it has been confirmed beyond doubt that despite international condemnation, Pakistan continues to use terrorism as an instrument of state policy. Anticipating that Pakistan will face severe flak at the Heart of Asia Conference which began on the same day Omar Abdullah made the statement because Afghanistan was planning to name Pakistan as sponsor of terror in India and Afghanistan in the Amritsar Declaration scheduled to be released on 4th December, Omar Abdullah has made this statement to bail out beleaguered Sartaj Aziz, heading the Pak delegation. Brig Anil Gupta lamented that a few Indian politicians have been manipulated by the Pak intelligence agencies and Track 2 diplomats to the extent that they not only challenge J&K’s accession to India but also ridicule the 1994 resolution passed by the Parliament of India. Only the other day, Omar Abdullah immediately after the Nagrota terror attack, absolved Pakistan by blaming the government. Pakistan’s involvement in Kashmir is recognized internationally; even the current unrest was not only financed, sponsored but also guided by Pakistan. It was Pakistan’s Prime Minister who hailed dreaded terrorist Burhan Wani as “young Kashmiri leader” thus eulogizing a terrorist and hoping that Kashmir will soon be part of Pakistan. Pakistan not only added fuel to the fire but also provided liberal hawala funding to prolong the unrest. The recent release of tapes of conversation between Burhan Wani and Hafiz Saeed, international terrorist and head of Pak based Jamat ul Dawa, clearly demonstrates the involvement of Hafiz Saeed and LeT in the ongoing unrest. BJP is of the view that NC is also involved with Hurriyat and other Pak-sponsored elements in fuelling the current unrest in Kashmir and is looking towards Pakistan for assistance in reviving its political fortune as it is becoming irrelevant day by day.

Ambedkar was architect of Modern India: Dushyant

BJP Anusuchit Jaati Morha National President Dushyant Kumar Gautam, alongwith Morcha National Vice-President Mohan Lal Dayma and SC Morcha State President & MLA Davinder Manyal, chaired a meeting of State Office Bearers and Advisory Committee Members at Jammu.

Dushyant Kumar Gautam, while addressing the meeting, said that Narendra Modi government has recognized the contribution of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, who remained ignored during last more than 60 years under the Congress rule. It is most unfortunate that the Congress highlighted Nehru as architect of Modern India but in fact it was Ambedkar, who deserved the said honour. The concept of Reserve Bank of India, Election Commission, Planning Commission and other important establishments were the brain work of this great intellectual and law luminary. Today even after 70 years of Independence, the plight of SCs has not improved, which speaks how much serious the Congress governments had been concerned for the SCs. Modi government has launched a number of welfare schemes exclusively for the benefit of the SCs and downtrodden which reflects the concern of BJP government  towards these sections of the society. He exhorted the morcha leaders to devote more time in reaching the members of the community and make them aware about the sincere initiatives of the present government at the Centre towards social and economic upliftment of the dalits.      

Davinder Manyal, on this occasion, briefed about the activities being undertaken by the SC Morcha in the state and also the feedback from the public about programmes and policies of Narendra Modi led government at the Centre which has been launched for the benefit of the poor and weaker sections.

He said that the members of SC community are worst affected by social evils and the need of the time is to get together to educate the younger generations of the community and help them in becoming respectable citizens.

 Morcha Seh-Prabhari ND Rajwal introduced the leaders in the meeting to the National President and other dignitaries and said that 9-10 lakh population of SCs in the state play a decisive role in the government formations but the previous ruling elite used them as mere vote bank.

BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan presented vote of thanks.

Supreme court shouldn’t be selective

Sunil Sethi

While decision of Supreme Court directing playing national anthem in theaters before every movie is good step in direction of inculcating nationalism but it shouldn't be confined only to movie theater.  Show of patriotism and nationalism should be real and heartfelt rather than cosmetic.

Jammu and Kashmir State Bharatiya Janata Party Chief Spokesperson Sunil Sethi said that playing of nationalism and showing respect to it is fundamental duty of all citizens and should be executed with pride. Respect and submission to national flag and national anthem should not only be felt and displayed too so as to set example for young generations.

Sunil Sethi further said that National flag and National Anthem should be shown respect in all institutions every day before start of work and it is more required to be done in all schools to inculcate nationalism in young generations. Similarly having same enforceability in courts and jails will bring about desired change.

He further noted that executability of the court order may create some problems where any person or segment refusing may create scene particularly when non implementing court order is not offence and no action in law can be taken against violators.  These practical difficulties ought to have been discussed and considered by Supreme Court before passing order. It's implementation in courts would have allowed opportunity to judges to lead by example

He said that it is even most unfortunate that the Congress did nothing during the last seventy years and today when some positive step has been taken, they are in the forefront to criticize the Modi government.

Dr. Narinder Singh questioned the claim of Congress Vice-President & Former Minister that the previous Congress-NC government had recommended a proposal to the government at the Centre for these people, asked the Ex-Minister why the same could not be approved despite the fact that there was Congress-led UPA at the Centre for ten years. He reminded that in fact, if ever some little or more was done for DPs, it was during the Prime Ministership of Atal Behari Vajpayee, who had displayed commitment towards mitigating the sufferings of the DPs.

The BJP leader expressed hope that good sense would prevails on the Congress and its leaders in the state, they change their mindset and take the plight of the DPs in a sympathetic manner rather than going public to criticize the initiative of the PM Narendra Modi led government at the Centre.

Omar statement reflects his diabolical mindset: Prof. Virender

Prof. Virender Gupta

BJP State Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta strongly condemned the statement of Omar Abdullah blaming Govt. of India and the statements made by various ministers against Pakistan after the surgical strikes by Indian army along the Line of Control for the Nagrota terror attacks. He said that both Abdullahs, father and son are in the habit of absolving Pakistan from its actions of importing and supporting terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir and in the rest of the country and in making critical statements against the Govt. of India and the present Government of Jammu and Kashmir and added that the fact of matter is that Abdullahs and other National Conference leaders have become a frustrated lot after being thrown out of power and as such they are adopting all possible means to regain the power back even if they have to indulge in provoking and instigating the masses, supporting the terrorist activities and Pakistan adventure in heavy firing from across the borders and send trained militants / army personnel to bleed India and Indian security persons.

Prof. Virender  Gupta said that the duo has always been blaming India for the unrest in the subcontinent and for the confrontation between India and Pakistan. They do not acknowledge the facts that whenever India tried to extend it hands for friendship it always received sabotage whether it was Kargil or Uri. He asked Abdullahs “who had provoked Pakistan to inflict 26/11 attack in Mumbai in 2008, Kargil war and Uri attack”.

It is a matter to be probed that why Abdullah have never blamed Pakistan for its misadventures against India, he said and added that Omar has to clarify the general rumour that Omar has a British citizenship as being born in Britain and interests of Omar and Farooq are not in India but are elsewhere. He asked them what are the reasons for which they want illegally occupied area of J&K to be retained with Pakistan and openly defy the unanimous resolution of India’s Parliament in 1994.

BJP to ensure purity in politics

Sunil Sethi

By asking all BJP lawmakers to give details of their deposits from 8th November till 30th December, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set high standard of polity for the country. When other political parties are making efforts to hide their black money, Bharatiya Janata Party has stood out by silencing the critics of political purity. Sunil Sethi, Chief Spokesperson of BJP, said that example which has been set by Bharatiya Janata Party should silence all criticism on money transaction by its law makers post demonetization.

Sunil Sethi noted that confidence Modi has on uprightness of workers of the party will be reciprocated by all law makers and submission of their amounts will expose the hollowness of the motivated allegations of the opposition.  Finding no fault with Demonetization Plan of government, the opposition parties have started false accusations against BJP lawmakers of hiding money. Everything will come clear before public by this move.

He said that similar steps should be taken by all other parties to ensure that their law makers are clean and are leading the country by personal example. Not many parties will have the courage of conviction to take similar step for reasons too obvious.  In case the parties don't do it then Election Commission should call such details from all law makers to instill the confidence of public in politics.

Sunil Sethi further said that similar directions may be given to all office bearers of the party and persons holding important positions in party. Efforts made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi of cleansing the political infrastructure should be welcomed by all. It is akin to cleansing of Holy Ganga.

Politicians have become matter of being subjected to ridicule, jokes and jests.  All that is going to change. Now leaders have to lead by personal examples.  They have first to follow high standard in public life before expecting common man to be part of change sweeping the country. Country will never be the same and so do Politicians, said Sunil Sethi.

Maharashtra elections severe blow to Cong, others :Sethi

Sunil SethiBJP State Chief Spokesperson Sunil Sethi, while terming the results of recently held elections to the Maharashtra Municipal Council as a severe blow to the opposition parties, said that the people have displayed their full faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi and also endorsed his historic decision on demonetization. Sunil Sethi said that in these elections, held after the Modi government’s decision on declaring the existing currency notes of rupees 500 and 1000 as invalid, which was being opposed by the opposition parties, the BJP has also made inroads into the strongholds of Congress and other parties. The hue and cry made by the Congress in particular has pushed it towards the wall by the people, which is a clear message that whatever Prime Minister Narendra Modi is doing to root out corruption, black money and fake currency, is acceptable to them and each one of them stand with the PM. The BJP State Chief Spokesperson said that the result of these polls is also a wakeup call for the parties which have unleashed a false and misleading propaganda against the BJP government at the centre and who are making repeated efforts to trap the people on the issue of demonetization but none of their tactic has succeeded. “Registering such a splendid victory in Maharashtra Municipal Councils elections soon after the decision on demonetization, is also a kind of public survey which has given its nod to the pro-poor and pro-development policies and programmes of the Narendra Modi led NDA government”, Sunil Sethi said and added that gone are the days when the people could easily be fooled by the parties like Congress in elections and today they are well informed to differentiate as to which leader and  party is genuinely concerned for the cause of the nation and its people. Sunil Sethi advised the opposition parties to read the writing on the wall, change their mindsets, adopt a nation-centric approach and join the people of the country in strengthening the hands of PM Narendra Modi in his crusade of making India a corruption free, well developed and most prosper nation in the world.

It is worth mentioning that during the past tiles were fixed on various pathways in Rajouri town but after that no repair work was ever done.

Roll back hike in food grains prices: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-Gupta

State BJP expressed its deep concern and anguish on the sudden increase in the price of food grains those are being provided by the Food Corporation of India under National Food Security Act without any decision at the Govt. of India level, without any decision at the State Cabinet level and in the absence of any notification from Consumer Affairs & Public Distribution (CAPD) Department, thus putting the general public to hardships.

The State BJP Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta stated that under NFSA, each individual of the approved category was to get 4 kg of atta and 1 kg of rice at the rate of Rs. 8/kg atta and Rs. 10/kg rice in Jammu province, whereas in Kashmir valley the prescribed quota per individual was 4 kg rice and 1 kg atta. However, after the resentment among the public, J&K Government provided additional food grains to each individual with 4kg of atta and 1 kg of rice in Jammu province and 4 kg of rice and 1 kg of atta in Kashmir province, but at the cost of Rs. 13/kg for atta and Rs. 15/kg for rice. Looking at the public grievance and unrest, particularly in the Valley, Union Minister, Ram Vilas Paswan, allowed the ration supplied under MMS at the rates as was specified by Govt. of India in NFSA and agreed to bear the additional financial burden for 3 months from June to September, 2016, thereby the ration both under NFSA and MSS, was provided at the rates of NFSA, i.e. Atta at Rs. 8/ kg and rice at Rs. 10/kg.

Prof. Virender Gupta said that irony is that instead of continuing with the rates of NFSA after the month of September, the Tehsil Supply Officers (TSOs), even raised the rates of the food grains provided by NFSA and kept it at par with that supplied under MMS, i.e. at the rate of Rs. 13/kg for atta and Rs. 15/ kg rice thus increasing NFSA rates from Rs. 8 to Rs. 13 atta and Rs. 10 to Rs. 15 rice, making a substantial increase of 63 per cent and 50 percent respectively, even though the Food Corporation of India is still supplying the Food Grains at the old rates to the state. He added that as per the report the existing rate of sugar is also shortly going to enhance from Rs. 13.50 / kg to Rs. 25/per kg.

The Spokesperson said that these sharp hikes are unjustified and shall adversely affect the budget of a common man and going to invite strong public protests and agitation and therefore, he appealed to the concerned authorities, including the concerned Cabinet Minister and also the Chief Minister to look into the matter and get the hike in the prices rolled back.

Dr. Suresh Ajay Mogotra said that the youth of today is well educated and informed and hence his or her role in making the people aware about the benefits of demonetization and e-banking is very important. Although the opposition parties are trying to mislead the people on the issue of demonetization but has failed to trap the people. He said that the motive of launching ‘Signature Campaign’ is to highlight the advantages of demonetization and the need to shift to e-banking.  He announced that the similar signature campaigns will be organized in each districts in the coming days.

People expressed anger with torching effigies

Lotus Logo copyChand Jee Bhat President BJP J&K Kashmir Displaced District led a procession of Kashmiri displaced people  from Prem Nath Dogra Bhawn Kachi Chawni Jammu. The procession was against the recent statement issued by Dr Farooq Abdulla in Kistawar about POK. Chand Jee Bhat expressed surprise over the immature statement made by Dr Farooq Abdulla that POK is not ancestral property of India so leaders in New Delhi should leave claim on it. Bhat in his speech explained that before giving such irrelevant statement Dr Abdulla must have gone through the topography of Jammu and Kashmir before its accession with India. Everybody knows during the regime of Mahraja Hari Singh POK was integral part of Jammu and Kashmir. So statement made by Dr. Abdulla is surprising as it was from the mouth of a person who has remained Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir and served in centre as Minister. Better he knows power of India and how Bangladesh came into existence. It seems his statement must have been for pleasing separatist in Kashmir Valley and searching out lost foothold. But he should understand these statements are nonfunctional and have since expired. He must keep in mind Centre is in right and strong hands now so such speeches would yield no fruit for him. He further, knows India is powerful and can snatch POK from Pakistan at any time whenever, India desires. Bhat requested people of Jammu and Kashmir not to take statements of Dr. Farooq so serious because making people foolish with such statements were practice of Shake Mohmad Abdulla and Dr Farooq Abdulla since 1947. Chand Jee Bhat advised Dr Farooq Abdullah to recall ancestral history and would understand Kashmiri Pandits can never be against India and would realize his fault of issuing such irresponsible statement. It was not hidden with him that real stakeholders of Kashmir were Kashmiri Pandits. In concluding lines of speech Chand Jee Bhat suggested that other political parties should also criticize statement of Dr Abdulla so that he would refrain from such statements in future. People who participated in the procession burnt effigies of      Dr Farooq Abdulla and gave went to their emotions. Other speakers who spoke on the occasion were Vice President Sharda Nandan Bhat, Jawhar Lal Pandita , Ram Krishen Koul, Ravinder Razdan General Secretary P L Dhar, Bharat Bushan Gosami and Secretaries Master Chamn Lal Pandita, Chaman Lal, Avtar Krishen Sheer and Mandal Presidents of the organization.

Attack by Pakistan trained and brain washed Fidayeens : Sunil Sethi

Sunil Sethi

Attack by Pakistan trained and brain washed Fidayeens in Jammu and Kashmir should be eye opener for the advocates of talks with Pakistan and their puppets. State Bharatiya Janata Party Chief Spokesperson Sunil Sethi said that militants attack at Nagrota should be enough for publicity seeker friends of Pakistan to shut their mouth. They are part of sinister plan of enemy to bleed India continuously. But all such plans will be destroyed and enemy decimated by strong national resolve under strong government at the Centre.

Sunil Sethi further said that even demand of talks during these times of terror and hostilities by Pakistan is encouraging forces inimical to the nation and all such leaders and self styled intellectuals should be exposed and shown their true worth. Everyone should understand and acknowledge that nobody is above nation. Persons who had held high positions in the past, have now started using language of supporters of separatism.  Right place for such persons is jail.

He noted with concern that even after making such statements these culprits are roaming free which is encouraging militant attacks as enemy sitting across border and even within gets encouraged by knowing that anti nationals in this country have donned robes of leaders and pseudo intellectuals and are thriving . Encouragement so given to enemy will be bad for national integrity.

The Chief Spokesperson said that militants attacking within state or in other states of country are not only enemy of India but are enemies of humanity. There is no place for such beasts and their mentors in civilized society. They should rot in hell which is only place for them. There is no religion which teaches hatred and violence to humanity and if there is any, then it can only be Satanic religion. Militants are followers of only Satan with no regards for God or His creation.

Farooq insulting Parliament Resolution: BJP

balbir-ramStatements inviting ridicule from all quarters: Balbir State unit of BJP has strongly condemned recent utterances of NC President Dr Farooq Abdullah on country’s stand over POJK and asked him not to speak in a tone and tenor that will only invite ridicule from all quarters. Lamenting that after having been turned irrelevant in the state’s politics and short of any issue to rake up , the NC and its top leaders have now stooped low that they do not even feel shy in questioning the very sovereignty of the Parliament, the Stat BJP has termed it as the most unfortunate and sheer reflection of frustration of Dr. Farooq Abdullah and his party men. BJP State Spokesperson, Balbir Ram Rattan, while reacting to the statement of National Conference President and Former Chief Minister that “India can’t take PoK”, said that the NC head is negating the objective of the February 22, 1994 Unanimous Resolution of the Indian Parliament which reads as “Pakistan must vacate the areas of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, which they have occupied through aggression”. Strangely, Abdullahs are not worried about this side of Kashmir and Kashmiris but are interested in their own survival which is why they rake up such issues which they very well know have no meaning, nor any relevance. They also fully know it that the citizens of POJK and Gilgit-Baltistan, who are primarily Pahari, Pothowari and Shia Muslims, are fed up with the atrocities being committed on them by Pakistan and are yearning to reunite with India. If this happens, it would endanger the political supremacy being enjoyed by a handful of valley based leaders like Abdullahs, the very thought of which is making them feel threatened for their survival and hence such statements coming out, the BJP leader said. It is just to refresh their memories that under the Instrument of Accession as signed by Maharaja, the whole of Jammu and Kashmir state was merged in the Indian Union and as per the Constitution, the Jammu &Kashmir state that existed before 15th August 1947 is and shall be integral part of India. Therefore, it is obligatory on part of the Indian Union to work towards liberating that part which is presently under the illegal occupation of Pakistan. Though India did not made any positive effort in the past to get liberated that part but that does not mean that it should not fulfill its obligation and the commitment that was made in the Parliament towards the people of POJK and that of the Indian Nation. As India is emerging a world power and it looks a possibility of getting back the PoJK areas, the negative statements of politicians like Farooq Abdullah can not weaken its resolve, he added.

He retreated the fact that POK is integral part of India and expressed hope that strong and visionary leaders like Narendra Modi will ensure that India gets back its part of Kashmir under the illegal occupation of Pakistan. He expressed his shock and surprise over the fact that on one hand the leaders like Farooq Abdullah aspire to become President of India and on the other hand he plays with the aspirations of the nationalist forces.

BJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta, while commenting on Farooq Abdullah statement that “India and Pakistan should reconcile with the parts in their control and 1994 Indian Parliament unanimous resolution does not matter thereby questioning the Indian’s stake on POJK”, said that Farooq Abdullah is following the footsteps of his father, who did not allow the advance of Indian forces to vacate the area of Jammu and Kashmir that presently in occupation of Pakistan. He added that because of Sheik Abdullah’s this action about a lakh of Hindus and Sikhs residing in POJK, including Gilgit and Balistan, were massacred, their women folk were abducted and raped and said that this act of Sheikh was aimed to keep his hegemony on the left part of Jammu and Kashmir. He further said that the people of POJK speak Pathwari, Punjabi, Gilgit and Balistani and there is not even a one square km of area in POJK that people of which speak Kashmiri language; the Muzzfrabad which was part of Kashmir Province was not got vacated as it was non- Kashmiri speaking area.

Prof. Virender Gupta criticized Farooq Abdullah for indirectly supporting the demand of Plebiscite in Kashmir by misinterpreting the UN resolution. He reminded the UNO resolution accepted Pakistan as a Aggressor and asked it to vacate the areas of Jammu and Kashmir that had forcefully occupied, handing it to India, before the Plebiscite could be held. But it was Pakistan which not acted upon the first two parts of UNO resolution so that Plebiscite could have taken place.

The Spokesperson asked Farooq Abdullah for not misinterpreting the UNO resolution and stop the policy of provoking and intigating separatist forces in the valley, simply for his political gains.

Separatists pitting people against each other: BJP

Khalid Jhangir‘Stop playing politics over dead bodies, allow common Kashmiri to breathe freely’ Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has expressed serious concern over miscreants targeting the ambulances and the vehicles plying on the roads. In a statement here the BJP spokesman Khalid Jehangir said, “It’s unfortunate that separatists have turned streets of Kashmir into battlegrounds and common man is being victimized for defying their diktats. The stone pelters, who these separatists have nurtured during all these months, are targeting the poor civilians, who want to resume their daily chores and get back to work.” The BJP spokesman said, “These miscreants are not even sparing the ambulances ferrying patients and doctors. They are on the mission to destroy Kashmir.” Jehangir said, “There is no place for senseless violence in any civilized society but unfortunately the so-called well wishers of Kashmiris have turned Kashmir into hell, and they are deriving sadistic pleasure by doing all this. Separatists should see the writing on the wall and stop playing politics over dead bodies. They have turned Kashmiri youth into cannon-fodder and have pushed the Kashmiri society to the edge. It’s high time they (separatists) stop dancing to the tunes of their handlers sitting across the LoC and allow Kashmiris to breathe freely.” The BJP spokesman said, “Separatists by inciting violence are trying to pit people against each other and have created a civil war like situation in Kashmir. They stand exposed before the masses and people are giving them a befitting reply by defying the shutdown and chalo calls.”

Farooq’s statement on Vajpayee- Sharief, a bluff: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-Gupta

“Farooq Abdullah’s statement that former Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee and his then counterpart Nawaz Sharief, who was also the Prime Minister of Pakistan, had agreed to convert the LoC into the International Border during Vajpayee’s visit to Lahore and Vajpayee took Farooq into confidence, shared with him the agreement reached” is simply a bluff, said State BJP Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta. He added that none of the press reporters, including Kuldip Nayyar had reported about the agreement that Farooq talks about and none of the NDA leaders, who were the members of Vajpayee’s Cabinet, had ever mentioned about the agreement. He said that it was Farooq’s view, which he expressed number of times in media in those days.

He told that had Pakistan agreed to this formula, there would have been no infiltration's from across the borders, no Pakistan sponsored terrorist activities and no ceasefire violations by Pakistan, particularly with Nawaz Sharief being again the Prime Minister of Pakistan.

Prof. Virender Gupta ridiculed the repeated statements from Abdullahs that India should give internal autonomy to Kashmir by keeping only defence, communication and foreign affairs with the centre and giving rest all powers to the State. He said that Abdullah is living in fool’s paradise; the needles of the clock can never be reversed back; no change has so far brought in the Article 370, whatever the centre laws have been applied to the State that was done with the consent of the State Government. He added that Sheikh Mohamed had reconciled with the situation and entered into an accord with Smt. Indira Gandhi, and more than 18 new central laws were applied to the State with the approval of the State Government during the regimes of Sheikh, Farooq and Omar Abdullah. The Spokesperson said that in the Common Agenda of Governance signed by PDP and BJP, it was agreed to have negotiations with the stakeholders and stakeholders are those who have faith in the Instrument of Accession and want a solution in the frame work of Indian Constitution. He told the NC leaders that all efforts are being made to restore the confidence of the people, in particular the youth in the State administration and in Indian Republic. The forces are there to protect the life and properties of the majority of the people who want peace and progress. He asked the Abdullahs to contribute in the efforts of the Government in bringing peace, instead of indulging in politics and instigating the common masses and added that restoration of peace is also in their benefit.

Prof. Virender Gupta advised the Abdullahs, who were the Chief Ministers of the State, to desist from projecting themselves as the leaders of merely Kashmir Valley, that too of a particular community, and take care of the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Ladakh regions and the majority population of the State. He added that their sectarian and divisive approach shall not be good for the State and the country. He said that they should keep into mind that the majority population is not in favour of continuation of Article 370 and wants to enjoy the benefits that the people in other parts of the country are enjoying; people do not want tolerate the hegemony of any family or any ideology.

Opposition should prove allegations of corruption: Sat

bjp-pc-ii

“The developments taking place after the announcement of historic decision on the existing currency notes of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 indicate that the public is with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his commitment to end corruption, black money and fake currency. A common citizen is convinced that such a step was necessary for the last 70 years in the interest of the country but unfortunately some political parties are misleading the people by presenting the wrong picture on demonetization. How strange it is that the parties who were once a part of scandals, are now opposing demonetization”, this was stated by BJP State President & MLA Sat Sharma (C.A), while addressing the media persons at party headquarter alongwith State General Secretaries Dr. Narinder Singh, Pawan Khajuria and Harinder Gupta and Chief Spokesperson Sunil Sethi.

Sat Sharma said that in Jammu & Kashmir also, the opposition parties are left with just one agenda of criticizing the people friendly coalition government of BJP for their survival. These parties have now started using the issue of demonetization in the state as a tool to paint BJP ministers as corrupt. It is highly condemnable and the BJP dismisses the allegations and terms the propaganda as a campaign to malign the image of the party. The BJP was, it is and shall stand firm, on its commitment of ending corruption and act against those who promote corruption.

Sat Sharma said that baseless allegations have been labeled against BJP Ministers in the coalition government of their involvement in corruption. Such allegations are nothing but a part of a deep conspiracy to lower down the growing popularity of the BJP and its ministers. The party makes it loud and clear that there is no truth in it.

“The BJP had gone to the public to seek votes on the promise of providing good governance and ending the corruption and during the last over one and half year, work culture has been introduced and not a single case of corruption took place during this period”, Sharma said and added that it would have been better if the information related to the allegations was shared with the public. By not doing so, those involved in painting BJP ministers as corrupt have failed in their game plan as the people are well aware that it is only BJP which has always fought against corruption and corrupt elements.

The State President said that the BJP has never compromised on the issue of corruption and its past record is itself a witness that the party did not ever hesitate to take stern action if anyone from among its cadre was found to be involved in any such practice. He asked the opposition parties to prove what they have been charging, failing which it will be assumed that they were misleading the public to tarnish the image of BJP.

Abdullahs trying to vitiate communal harmony: BJP

anil

Reacting sharply to the repeated statements made by the Abdullah duo that “J&K did not accede to Hindu India but a secular India”, Brig Anil Gupta, BJP State Spokesperson, stated that by making such a statement they are trying to provoke the people and vitiate the communal harmony that exists in the Jammu region. India is not a new-born nation but a legacy of the oldest surviving civilization of the world known as the Indian Civilization and tolerance has been the main virtue of this nation. India is known for having welcomed people of all faiths, beliefs and religions and absorbing them into her own culture. People of different religions have lived in harmony in India since centuries as Indians and religion has never been the basis of their nationality, explained Brig Gupta. By bringing in religion, Farooq Abdullah is trying to mislead the innocent people and creating an atmosphere of communal disharmony, which is dangerous. 

Despite grave provocations in the past few months, National Conference failed to disturb the communal peace in the region but the latest provocative speeches being made by the top leadership of the Party are clearly indicative of the intent of the leadership to create communal tension in the sensitive region, retorted Brig Gupta. Rather than concentrating on and voicing concern about the problems being faced by the common people, the Abdullahs are unnecessarily dragging religion to provoke the people. There is no distinction in India between its citizens based on caste, culture, creed and religion. All Indians enjoy the same fundamental rights and Muslims in India are the safest compared to the other regions. “Are Muslims safe in a Muslim Pakistan” questioned Brig Gupta? The plight of Muslims in POJK, Sindh, Baluchistan and Gilgit-Baltistan is no secret and the entire world is aware of the miseries inflicted on them by fellow Punjabi Muslims. BJP appeals to the Muslim brethren of the region to not to fall prey to the provocative and misleading statements of the NC leadership and maintain harmony.

BJP expresses concern over spate of bank burglary incidents

balbir-ram

Beef up security around banks, increase vigil: Balbir

BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, while expressing concern over bank burglary incidents in different parts of the state over the last few days, has stated this appears to be handiwork of anti national elements, who have been squeezed after demonetization move launched by Narendra Modi government. These elements, who were thriving their activities on the black money hoarded through illegal means, as also heavily dependent upon the fake currency circulated from across the border, are now desperate to the extent that their economic survival has become impossible, the BJP leader said adding that this situation is now pushing them into acts of loot and burglary.

Balbir Ram Rattan, while citing the recent incidents of loot and burglary in Budgam district of Kashmir Valley, followed by a similar one in Kishtwar district in Jammu province, said there appears to be a nexus and full support at the local level to these elements who are out to loot the bank money worth lakhs of rupees. While it is the duty of the police to ascertain the identity of the burglars, the government must immediately enhance security around all bank branches in the state, besides asking the bank authorities to increase their vigil, Balbir asserted.

The Spokesperson further said incidents of loot and burglary in these bank branches almost in a set pattern vindicates the Union government’s fears that anti national elements in the state were thriving on fake currency, which has been converted into trash after demonetization decision. Since they are facing cute cash crunch, they are now resorting to tactics of burglary and loot for their survival. Expressing apprehensions that more such incidents would happen, the BJP Spokesperson said unless adequate security measures are not put in place, the bank branches which are easily accessible and soft areas in terms of accessibility and approach, can become next targets of the thieves and burglars. Moreover, if such acts of loot of bank money continues, there is every likelihood of increase in subversive activities by the anti national elements, who are right now in a desperate mode, Balbir  said.

Vibodh Visits Pak Shelling Affected Border Villages of Rajouri

vibodhTakes Stock of Damage to the Livestock and Agricultural Fields of Border Villages A delegation of BJP leaders led by MLC Vibodh Gupta visited Nikapanjgrian, Trikundi, Panjgrian, Peryali and Manjakote border villages of Rajouri and took stock of the damage being caused to the life and property of the border residents. The recent unproved firing by Pakistan rangers in various border villages is leading to huge loss to the migrants of various remote villages in Rajouri and Poonch districts. During this visit MLC Vibodh patiently heard the sufferings narrated by individual families in the area. The locals informed that due to heavy shelling the animals of many families have been injured. In many cases the visiting delegation was shown the agricultural fields damaged as a result of current turmoil. In two cases the whole fodder stock of the villagers were burnt as a result of Pak shelling. Under these circumstances the livelihood of these poor and vulnerable border residents is under sever threat. Addressing a gathering at Trikundi village MLC Vibodh said that he and his party holds very high esteem for the border migrants for the great service these people are rendering to the nation. The residents of border villages are standing neck to neck with our brave soldiers who are giving a befitting reply to the Pakistani rangers for their nefarious designs. He assured the locals that he will take their voice to the senior party leaders and to the concerned ministers in the Government so that these losses are suitably compensated. He said that current demonetization decision of the Modi Government wherein Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes have been banned, has broken the back bone of the enemy and all the terrorist forces operating in J&K. Due to this our neighbor country is in a state of shock as the black money which these forces were using against India is of no use now. This is the main reason that Pakistani rangers are indulging in unproved firing as they are in complete state of frustration. He called upon the border residents to remain united as they have done in the past. He further added that during his complete tour every local has told him that they are ready to make any sacrifice for the country. They are also fedup with the proxy war stated by Pakistan from many years now. For this MLC saluted the border people for their bravery and courage. Reacting to the demand of permanent bunkers for the border people, MLC informed the gathering that Hon’ble CM Mehbooba Mufti also shares this concern and this is the main reason that she has also recently announced the construction of permanent bunkers for the border people. Overall MLC Vibodh ensured the villagers that Government stands fully committed towards the problems of border people for all the sacrifices which these people have made for the nation. BJP senior leader Ranjeet Tara also addressed the gathering and called upon the youth of the border villages to help the elderly and needy in this hour of need. Prominent among others who accompanied the MLC include Mohd. Sayeed Qureshi, QayoomShamim, Mohd. Noor Hussain, Bodhraj, Shonki Kumar, VikasChandan, Hardik Kumar and Sanjay Sharma.

A significant step towards ‘Beti Padhao’

SS Bijral

The J&K coalition govt. decision to allow girl child free education up to higher secondary in govt. schools has augured well for the need to educate woman and help them contribute significantly towards healthy national development. It surely is a Significant Step towards ‘Beti Padhao’.

Hailing the decision taken by BJP-PDP coalition government in J&K state to exempt girl students of govt schools from paying education fee up to higher secondary level, S.S. Bijral, a Former Professor, IGP (Rtd.) and a State Convener ‘Beti Bahao Beti Padhao’ said this step shall prove a boon towards boosting national project ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ in the state, launched by PM Narendra Modi country wide.

Girls are no less blessed by Nature in capabilities compared to boys. Their’s remained suppressed and untapped through willful neglect with preference for boys. This resulted in their poor growth mentally, in physique and in over all personality. Uneducated, the women as a gender got labeled with all negative, uncivil traits as a whole, for generations. This is what happened over the centuries. Bijral said PM Narendra Modi having launched national project of ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ soon after taking over country’s reign, let the nation ponder over injustice done to girl child-future mother, the dearest to every soul, that held back nation from path of comprehensive development.

This low attitude towards girl child critically disturbed Child Sex Ratio (CSR)  of girls compared to 1000 boys in the country. J&K state is no exception. Here 8 districts have steeply falling CSR and are categorized critical in the country. They with their CSR as per 2011 census are: Jammu (795), Samba (779), Kathua (831), Pulwama (829), Budgam (832), Anantnag (841), Baramulla (863), Ganderbal (863). Bijral said this major step of BJP/PDP coalition govt. will  facilitate increased enrolment of girls in schools, awaken them particularly ruralites, about their rights, role in national development. Educating girl child free in govt schools will render them –the future mothers- to be awakened, competent as first teacher and role model, that they are, where ever they happen to perform blessedly. The state government deserves kudos for this decision taken.

Omar promoting disintegration of State: Prof Virender

Prof.-Virender-Gupta

BJP State Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta, while commenting upon the recent statements of Omar Abdullah that the conditions of Valley shall not improve, the stone pelters do not work on Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 and demonetization would not affect the terrorism/separatist activities, said that his statements show that Omar is behind the curtain monitoring and instigating the present turmoil.

He added that Omar Abdullah’s assertion for political solution to Kashmir problem and in absence of that the situation in the Valley would not improve, is completely exclusive and does not take into considerations the aspirations and problems confronting the people of Jammu and Ladakh regions. He reminded Omar that people of Jammu and Ladakh regions and also a good section of people in Valley do not approve the demand of greater autonomy or pre-1952 position, instead they support the abrogation of Article 370 bringing J&K state completely under the preview of Indian Constitution and under the complete jurisdiction of Indian Parliament.

Prof. Virender said that people of Jammu region, Ladakh region, Gujjar/Bakerwals, PoJK displaced persons and KPs are major stake holders and not the separatists or Hurriyat leaders, who are responsible for the continuous disturbance in the Valley and working as a stooge of enemy country. He added that Jammu and Ladakh regions constitute about 80 per cent of the area of J&K, that is presently in India and no solution can be found that excludes the aspirations of the people residing in these regions, apart from those of other communities like Kashmiri Pandits, Gujjar, Bakerwal, Shia Muslims etc.

The Spokesperson warned Omar for playing divisive politics while propagating the cause of a section of Kashmiri population and ignoring the interests of others. In this way, he is helping in disintegration of the state.

Congress itself tarnished own image: BJP

Balbir Singh

Jammu and Kashmir State unit of Bharatiya Janata Party has dismissed the allegations levelled by Congress leaders against BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for tarnishing the image of Congress as a lame excuse to veil its own misdeeds of decades of its rule in the country in the past.

While the people of nation have arisen in unity to support Prime Minister’s drastic steps to nip the evils like corruption and terrorism, the Congress has gone scary as its leaders have realized that time has come for their public exposure which may lead them to meeting their waterloo.

This was stated by BJP State Spokesperson, Balbir Ram Rattan, who while dismissing the allegations as totally baseless and misleading, said that neither BJP nor Narendra Modi has ever made any attempt to tarnish the image of Congress and reminded this political party that it was wrong policies and programmes which maligned its image it in the public.

He said that since the day first the BJP came into power at the Centre with Narendra Modi as Prime Minister, the Congress adopted very negative approach and has been opposing every positive step of the NDA government, whether related to development and welfare or foreign affairs.

. The statements of the Congress leaders on the killing of dreaded terrorist Burhan Wani and  on surgical strikes by Indian army on launching pads in PoJK too has invited anger and resentment of the entire country, thus affecting its public image.   

Balbir further said that repeated scams have tarnished the image of Congress, its policy of nepotism and obsession with Gandhi family, has also lowered its picture.

“The recent decision of the Modi govt on Demonetisation has witnessed widespread appreciation but the Congress has unleashed a false propaganda on the subject”, Balbir said and added that such an approach endorses the fact that Congress never wanted to help the nation rise against the felonies of corruption and black money.

How Congress under the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi released more than 90 thousand soldiers of Pakistan in 1971 without availing the golden opportunity to settle the Kashmir issue once and forever is still in the minds of the people. The same Congress cannot escape from the blunder of curbing basic rights of the citizens by imposing Emergency in 1975. The people are well educated in the present era and watching themselves that Modi government is working hard to take the country to new heights of development and launching welfare schemes for the youth, women, downtrodden, farmers, ex-servicemen, while at the same time the Congress is opposing each and every initiative, which  unfortunately is exposing its wrongdoings and earning bad reputation among the countrymen.

Do not criticize without understanding: Arun

Arun Gupta

Demonetization has been widely appreciated by one and all throughout the world, including more than eighty five percent Indian population, except our own leaders from opposition parties. The very fact that these opposition leaders do not understand the gravity of this menace which was eating away the very vitality of country economy and was a big stumbling block in the growth .                                           Making a statement in this regard Jammu and Kashmir state spokes person Arun Kumar Gupta said that At a time when public is so happy with this  decision, inspite of some apparent initial inconvenience  faced ,all have welcomed this step wholeheartedly and are extremely convinced  for this historic decision. The opposition leaders are taking public excuse in agitating the issue both in and out of parliament and other foray. The fact is that, the amount of illegal money made over the years by number of scams have suddenly become redundant.

Arun Kumar Gupta said that unfortunately none of the opposition leaders have risen above the party politics and look into the seriousness of the issue. The parallel economy cannot be allowed to grow or rather over grow the country economy and discipline in money earning and spending has to be imbibed.  State Bharatiya Janata Party said that shadow economy is like termite doing its job and cripples the very foundation, cannot be allowed to spread and correction was long overdue.

It does not allow the growth and progress in real sense. The circulation of illegal money corrupts the system and that is the main reason for all unlawful activity to mushroom. Opposition leaders have all the constitutional rights to criticize the working of Government in democracy for the actions, but a thin sliver line needs to be drawn as to where party line finishes and national interest starts. In case these leaders do not understand this critical aspect of being highly sensitive to national issues, they should stop condemning and let people of the nation decide as to what is righteous for them as they have the power to elect and punish the government which does not perform for the country and only works for self elevation, said Arun Kumar Gupta.

Politicizing Amnesty Scheme by opposition unfortunate: BJP

Balbir Singh

The recent decision of the Jammu and Kashmir coalition government in favour of the traders, industrialists, transporters should neither be politicized for the sake of mere opposition nor it should be used as a tool to mislead and provoke the business community. The State unit of BJP terms such attempts by some parties in Jammu and Kashmir as most unfortunate and is confident that the Scheme will prove to be beneficial not for few, as alleged by opposition, but cover and benefit all those who are in the fields of  trade, industry and transport.

 Putting forth party’s view point on the decision of the state’s coalition related to Amnesty Scheme, BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, said that the step is in the interest of the traders, businessmen and industrialists, which will bring transparency in future. There is no need to panic as the motive to bring such scheme is to rejuvenate the trade and industry in the state.

Balbir Ram Rattan said the provisions of this newly announced scheme offers 100 per cent remission of the penalty and interest on arrears of the tax in respects of all the dealers of the state. For the transporters also, it offers 100 per cent remission of penalty. It will, thus, streamline the system and make all the transactions in business more transparent. He said that the scheme also reflects the concern and seriousness on part of the coalition government to revive the industry and transport keeping in mind the losses being suffered not during the current mayhem in Kashmir but in the past as well.

Burning schools is digging own grave 

burning-schools-is-digging-own-grave

Burning schools as part of ongoing protest in valley, has startled human souls. For they think, it tantamount to ‘digging own grave’ and has resurfaced the imprints of burning of famous Nalanda university of Magadh now Bihar by army of Muslim Mamluk Dynasty under Bakhtiyar Khilji in 1200 CE.

The masterminds of ongoing valley agitation are torching govt. schools. Thirty six schools have so far been burnt. If education as per Oxford dictionary is : “ A process of teaching, training and learning especially in schools and colleges to improve knowledge and develop skills”, one is left aghast and wondering what do the masterminds of valley violence aiming at by targeting centres of learning, that too of government built through scarce public funds.

J&K  is a blessed state where education institutional network, is extensive. Under Chief Ministership of late Sheikh Mohd. Abdullah, a teacher himself, government spread out this network following policy of establishing one school after every 2 kms. These schools are because of strenuous effort of locals. Torching these is savage and most reprehensible. It amounts to cutting roots of human civilisation ‘tree’. The local people protected them against vandalism by those who were unfortunate to have not tasted this invaluable wealth.

Burning centres of learning is an unpardonable sin. One understands knowing holy Islamic religious texts: “The seeking of knowledge is obligatory for every Muslim” –Al. Tirinidhi Hadith 74; “One who treads a path in search of knowledge has his path to Paradise made easy by God”- Riyadh-us-Saleheen; “Acquire knowledge and impart it to people”- Al. Trinidhi Hadith 107; “A servant of God will remain standing on the Day of Judgement until he is questioned about his time on earth and how he used it; about his knowledge and how he utilised it; about his wealth and from where he acquired it and in what (activities) he spent it and about his body and how he used it.”- Al. Tirinidhi, Hadith 148.

 Bijral imploring those burning schools to follow their religious text, understand  words of wisdom of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad , India’s first education minister: “Education imparted by heart can bring revolution in the society”; of former Indian President APJ Abdul kalam: “Dream dream,dream. Dreams transform into thoughts and thoughts result in action”, sought of them to not be enemy of their own generations by destroying schools. For wisdom of Azad, his birthday on 11th Nov. is celebrated as National Education Day.

When “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today (Malcom X), Bijral former professor who retired as IGP and serving as state spokesperson said where is the wisdom in burning schools & ensuring future doom? He called upon people to protect this wealth of their children for their future.

On the occasion Dr Magotra said that Yuva Morcha will take these schemes at Mandal Level, the efforts will be to help the youth at booth level so that each and every youth in every corner of the state will get benefit from these schemes.

Azad should seek apology for his statements: BJP

bjp-pc-iGhulam Nabi Azad is not only the leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha but also a very senior leader of the Congress Party. His statements inside and outside the House yesterday are not merely his personal views but also reflect thinking of Congress Party. Castigating Azad for these remarks, Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of BJP, while addressing a press conference stated, “BJP fully sympathizes with the families of those who have lost their lives related directly or indirectly to the ongoing fight against black money but takes strong exception to the comparison made with Uri martyrs by Azad on the floor of the House.” The statements of Azad clearly demonstrate the thinking of the Congress from which the following emerge clearly- It has become a habit with Congress leaders to trivialize the martyrdom of our brave soldiers; the Congress leaders are misusing the word ‘martyr’; Congress is trying to politicize the apolitical Indian Army; by drawing comparison between Pak sponsored terrorism and legal action of a popular, elected government to weed out black money, Congress has provided legitimacy to Pakistan; Congress wants to protect black money of the party and its leaders by using the name of poor. “It was in the name of ‘Gareebi Hatao’ that the Congress and its leaders looted the national exchequer and created black money for decades”, reminded Brig Gupta. While the BJP is reaching out to the families of the martyrs with two to three- fold increase in the compensation paid to the families for their supreme sacrifice, the Congress is belittling their sacrifices by comparing them with suicides and routine deaths. Rahul Gandhi had coined the term ‘Khoon Ki Dalali’ and regrettably his party is exactly doing the same now. Azad through his utterances has proved that he is a Pak sympathizer. The government’s action against black money has severely impacted not only the black money hoarders within the country but also Pakistan and its vast terror network.  Azad needs to realize that there have been 81000 deaths all across the country due to Pak sponsored terrorism and no patriotic Indian can ever forgive Pakistan for the same. The party demands unconditional apology from Azad for his such remarks. The party State Spokespersons SS Bijral and Balbir Ram Rattan were also present during the press conference.

Visits of Bollywood celebrities to borders laudable gesture : BJP

balbir-ramReflect their love and concern towards soldiers BJP State Spokesperson, Balbir Ram Rattan, has hailed the recent visits of Bollywood celebrities to the BSF camps in the state and termed such activities morale boosting gestures, which reflect  not only their love and respect for the security forces but also speak volumes about their concern towards the families of those jawans who get martyred for the cause of safeguarding the borders and protecting the lives of citizens. Balbir said this (the visits of celebrities) is also one of the means to express patriotism and concern towards the brave jawans who sacrifice their lives to defend motherland, while they express solidarity with their kith and kin in the  hour of grief. He said that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has enthused patriotism among all the countrymen, including youth, common persons and the celebrities by his dedication and commitment towards the nation. Inspired by the strong patriotic sentiments towards the country, a number of Film stars from Bollywood are voluntarily visiting the soldiers on the borders as well as meeting the families of martyrs. Since these stars are public figures, having huge fan support, their patriotic gestures go a long way in boosting the morale of the soldiers and support to families in distress. Balbir Ram Rattan said that in the recent days after the surgical strikes and looking at continuous shelling by neighbour country Pakistan on the borders, Bollywood Film Star  Akshay Kumar visited the BSF posts to express his solidarity with the jawans fighting on the fronts, boost their morale and thereby conveying  that whole of the nation is on their back in their fight against the enemy. In its continuation, just two days ago, another famous actor Nana Patekar visited border areas of Jammu province along the International Border, interacted with the Border Security Force jawans, paid rich tributes at Memorial at BSF Frontiers Headquarters, met with the families and relatives of BSF martyrs besides visiting  BSF Senior Secondary School at Jammu. The visits of such celebrities are certainly not for inviting attention of the media for publicity but it shows that despite their busy schedule, they have the courtesy to spend some time with the men in uniform, who are away from their families, serving the motherland day and night, even in tough and very difficult conditions, most of the time braving harsh weathers besides fighting the enemy continuously. These celebrities have already reached to such positions in their professions of acting that publicity for them carries no significance.

PM Modi’s dedication is incontestable: BJP

Arun Gupta

It is indeed very unfortunate that today even after 69 years of independence, the Congress party still has the mindset that for being leader in our country and for being pure nationalist, one should belong to royal families living in palaces only.

Reacting strongly to the statement of Kapil Sibbal, Senior leader of Congress, over electronic media that palaces are the criteria for anybody to prove his/her credentials to be true Indian and Nationalist, BJP State Spokesperson, Arun Kumar Gupta, said that BJP would like to know from Congress as to how many politicians from Congress left their palaces to serve the Nation and how many of them have built palaces after joining the politics. Congress is still having the mindset of the times of princes and princely states, which have ceased to be there, after India became Independent in 1947.     

For serving the nation in true sense, one has to first dedicate himself or herself for the sake of country and nothing can be more valuable than one’s dedication to work for the country above own self. “Since Congress has, for the years, not done anything for the country and would only look into their self elevation, they probably would not understand or appreciate that leaving a palace or other comforts are not required if you are born in India and are concerned for the nation” said, Arun Kumar Gupta.

Their kind of irresponsible and unparliamentarily statements against the Prime Minister of the country, who is totally dedicated for national cause, are uncalled for and do expose the basic mindset of any one whose agenda is only to criticizes.  Indians today have feeling that during all these years after Independence, non seriousness has created so many menaces in the system and country, the anti national elements and organizations have became more strong than the nationalists and economy is subservient to their dictation. All developed nations have been built themselves by pure dedicated leadership and that is how the systems, economy and love for the countries, have built. BJP today is working so hard, it should be appreciated rather than criticizing on irrelevant issues. said Arun Kumar Gupta.

He said that state office bearers are few among thousands who get an opportunity to prove their capability, which will further take them to new responsibilities. He said that regular training workshops should also be organized at different levels as the same serves to polish the party activists and they become a future asset for the organization. Sat Sharma, on this occasion said that the BJP is the only political party in the country which has the healthy practice of inner democracy and constituting its units at all levels, which is indeed the basic reason for BJP being considered as the party with difference. He also shared the details related to the numbers of district, mandal and booth units in the state.

J&K solution  not in Autonomy but  abrogation of 370: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaState BJP Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta, while reacting to the Farooq Abdullah’s Statement that “Autonomy remains only constitutional remedy to Kashmir Issue”, said that Kashmir does not constitute whole of Jammu and Kashmir State, but it is merely about sixteen percent of the area of Jammu and Kashmir, which is presently in India. He reminded Farooq Abdullah that all the kings of the princely states signed  the same Instrument of Accession, surrendering three subjects and it was Maharaja Hari Singh, who signed the the Instrument of Accession, thereby acceded the State to Indian Union and not Sheikh Abdullah as claimed by Farooq. He further said that Article 370 was incorporated in the Indian Constitution as a temporary provision because of special conditions prevailing at that time: J&K was attacked by Pakistan, it had captured a major portion of the State and the issue of the state was in the U.N.O. Neither Maharaja nor Sheikh Abdullah or any other person laid any condition for the accession, otherwise also no condition was permitted to be annexed or added with the Instrument of Accession, as per the Indian Independence Act 1947. The Spokesperson said that the elections held in 1952 for the constitution of State Constituent Assembly were rigged at large scale, when all the 75 seats were won by National Conference candidates out of which 72 of its nominees came unopposed.  He stated that the people of Ladakh region, under the leadership of Kushak Bakula, opposed Article 370 and Accord of 1952, while people of Jammu region launched a massive agitation under the banner of Praja Parishad led by Pt. Prem Nath Dogra with the slogans of “Ek Vidhaan, Ek Nishaan, Ek Pradhaan” that is  One Constitution, one Flag and one President. Prof. Virender said that Article 370, 1952 Agreement and separate constitution of Jammu and Kashmir have done great harm to the people of the State and to the integrity of the country. The boggy of Autonomy under Article 370 raised by separatists and the so called the leaders of the mainstream parties did not allow the people of Jammu and Kashmir, in particular that of Valley, to become the part of the national mainstream. It developed a psyche among the Kashmiri masses of treating themselves as separate from rest of India and encouraged the separatist tendencies to flourish, thus giving an opportunity to Pakistan to import terrorism in the Valley, that has kept Kashmir always boiling. It has adversely affected the economy of not only Kashmir but that of Jammu and Ladakh regions too. Prof. Virender Gupta further added that permanent solution of Jammu and Kashmir, that can bring peace and prosperity, lies in the abrogation of Article 370 and not in granting the so-called Greater Autonomy. He further proposed that the best solution lies in the empowerment of all the regions of the state with granting each region the administrative, economic and legislative powers, so that all the regions can develop and progress as per the aspirations of the people of each region.

Kavinder visits various Banks, ATMS enquires about people’s grievance

havindrSpeaker J&K Assembly and MLA, Gandhi Nagar, Kavinder Gupta visited various branches of different banks functioning in Gandhi Nagar area. The Speaker visited the Punjab National Bank, J&K Bank and State Bank of India and extended helping hand to the people by offering food and water to them. Speaking on the occasion, Kavinder said that the decision to demonetize Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes is the boldest decision ever taken by any government in the last 70 years, it is going to change the fate of our nation and we will become the world leader very soon, he added. The banks have made good arrangements to accommodate the women, senior citizens, handicap and others. Different counters were made operational for the currency exchange and depositing of the old currency notes in these branches. He also interacted with the officers and applauded their commitment towards their work and termed this as a duty towards the nation. The Speaker said, “Such move of the government required political will and it is only the Narendra Modi led NDA government who has the guts of taking and implementing such decision in its true spirits”. He further said that this whole process will have its multiple effects and it is not only going to check the flow of black money in the market but will be a nightmare for those who are anti-nationalists and are supporting terrorism, separatism and naxalism in one way or the other. This move of the government is not only aimed at controlling black money but it is going to be a game changer for the students, poor people, unemployed youths and related social evils prevailing in our society, he said. He said the step taken in favour of the common man by the government will provide a solid foundation to curb the black money menace and corruption in the country and will come out as a boon for the nation. Appealing to the people who are facing little hardship these days, he said, it is historic step taken by any government and it is now the duty of the citizens to support and cooperate with the government which is working for the larger interests of the society.

Candle marches can’t wash sins of Congress: BJP  

Lotus Logo copyAmused by the fact that leaders of the Congress party in Jammu region have conducted series of candle marches to express their solidarity with the ex-servicemen on the issue of One Rank One Pension (OROP), Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party has questioned the sincerity of these leaders and termed the current phase of sympathy with the veterans as opportunistic and mere politicking over the death of an ex-Subedar. The JCO’s suicide is unfortunate but to use his death for scoring political brownies is unethical according to Brig Gupta. They are also misleading the public by referring to the deceased JCO as martyr while the whole nation knows that he committed suicide for a mistake committed by his bankers in crediting the arrears of OROP. The Congress Party owes an explanation to the nation wherein it needs to clarify as to why the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi reduced the pension of soldiers from 70% to 50 % in 1973? Was it the Congress Party’s way of rewarding the bravery and sacrifices of Indian soldiers who had won for the nation greatest military victory of the cold-war era in December 1971. It is the Congress government in 1973 that had promised OROP to compensate the reduction in pension. Why they did not fulfil their promise made to the veterans for four decades, questioned Brig Gupta? Elaborating further Brig Gupta reminded the Congress leaders that their Party had included grant of OROP in their manifesto of 2004 and ruled for two consecutive terms (10 Years) thereafter without implementing it.  In 2008, the then Defence Minister AK Antony had stated that UPA government has not found it practical to implement OROP.  Moreover, when the Veterans surrendered their medals to the President in 2009 none of the Congress leaders expressed any sympathies with them or did anything about OROP. The Congress leaders conveniently forget the response of the UPA government when Koshiyari Committee Report on the subject was tabled in the Parliament in 2011- “Not possible because of administrative, financial and legal implications of the OROP scheme.” The Congress Party’s recently discovered concern for veterans is because of the fact that the Modi government kept its promise and implemented the OROP scheme which these leaders are unable to digest. Not only OROP, successive Congress governments since independence are responsible for harming the interests of the soldiers related to pay and status. Congress governments failed to address the anomalies of various pay commissions 4th, 5th and 6th passing them on to the present government, highlighted Brig Gupta. The Modi government is trying its best to address the issues concerning salary and status of the soldiers as well as veterans. The political opportunism being displayed by the Congress has been seen through by the veterans according to the BJP spokesperson.

Panthers undermining demonetization decision: BJP

Prof.-Virender-GuptaState BJP Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta strongly condemned the statement of JKNPP Chairman, Harsh Dev Singh for spreading rumours with regard to an historical and bold decision of NDA government under the leadership of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi regarding demonetization of currency and undermining the decision which has been taken to unearth black money and check the usage of Hawal Money and fake currency. He reminded Harsh Dev that Hawala money and fake currency is being used by enemy country and separatist forces operating in the country, and in particular, in the Valley and added that the Hawala money and fake currency is sustaining the militancy and disturbances in the Valley. Prof. Virender said that no concrete proof was given by any of the leaders like Kejriwal and others, who have charged that BJP and its corporate friends were pre-informed about the decision of demonetization and who got converted their old currency in Gold, Dollars and Real Estate or deposited the same in the banks in advance. He further said Mr. Harsh Dev, being Chairman of a political party, must be in know of the other steps that were taken by the Government of India in digging out unaccountable money right from the day it came into power and it is, therefore, undesirable to question the intentions of the government. The Spokesperson also reminded Mr. Harsh Dev the transfer industry that was running and flourished under his able guidance as the Education Minister of the state and asked him that those who live themselves in glass houses should not throw stones on others. He added that it would be fair and obligatory on the party of Harsh Dev to give the details of assets he was holding prior to his becoming Minister/MLA and that he holds at present while declaring the sources that had helped him to accumulate the present wealth.

Valley unrest sustained by fake currency, Hawala money: Sethi

Sunil SethiMilitancy and separatism in Kashmir will never be same after the ‘Financial Surgical Strike’ by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.  The well timed and extremely well executed move on blocking currency of high denominations by the Union Government has put the nail in the coffin of separatism and militancy in the state. Sunil Sethi, State Bhartiya Janata Party, State Chief Spokesperson, said that it is matter of common knowledge that unrest in Valley is sustained by ‘fake currency’ and ‘Hawala money’ from across borders or by even enemies of the nation sitting within but with the change of high denomination currency the money flow in Kashmir will be effectively stopped, which will ensure peace in region. Sunil Sethi further said that capacity of separatists and enemy, sitting across border to financially sustain such unrest over period of time, like what is being witnessed now, will never happen in future.  The correction in system carried by currency reforms will be here for stay and more anticipated reforms of Central Government will ensure that in future, nobody will be allowed to run business of terror and blood in land of peace. Sethi further noted that though people are currently facing difficulties because of the shifting of system but this is being done for larger interest of nation, which is being welcomed by public at large. State BJP has called upon public to stand with historical reforms being executed by Central government for larger benefits of coming generations and peace and progress of nation. The amount of money which will become available to Govt as unclaimed amount, will be huge enough to sustain unprecedented developments projects in country, which will make life of the Indians easy. He also noted that money, which is being deposited in banks, will put currency back in circulation and also get tax to govt.  The system as being implemented will make corruption and black-marketing in future almost impossible. Sunil Sethi said the government will surely target the money in foreign banks stacked by corrupt elements. That is wealth of the nation and will be used for the citizens of nation, he added.

Congress leader misleading the people :BJP

Balbir SinghRejecting the baseless and false statement of Congress senior leader & sitting MLA from Inderwal G.M. Saroori that coalition government’s policies are pushing the state towards dark age and that Congress party has never discriminated with any of the regions in the State, the Jammu and Kashmir BJP has termed the same as outcome of mere frustration due to repeated defeats of the Congress party. Making a passionate appeal to the people of the State not to get misled by such statements of the leaders of Congress like G.M. Saroori and others of his ilk, BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan said that gone are the days when Congress used to play its politics based on  false slogans and promises adding that the people are more aware now and cannot be made to believe anything with folded eyes. Balbir Ram Rattan said that the BJP has entered into alliance with the PDP with an understanding of ending corruption and providing good governance in the state and during over one and half year not a single case of corruption has been found and work culture been introduced coupled with accelerating the development works with zero compromise on quality. All these show that the present coalition government is taking the state towards golden age and not towards the dark age, as has been wrongly alleged by the Congress senior leader. “As far Congress leader’s false claim that his party has never discriminated with any of the regions in the state, the BJP is of the view that it would be better for the leader not to open the pages of their rule in the state when it formed the governments on its own or in coalition with regional parties because the same will expose them fully, Balbir said and added that there are number of instances which are clear proofs as to how Jammu region had been subjected to repeated discrimination in the past. Will Mr. Saroori explain as why Jammu region has less number of Assembly seats as compared to Kashmir, despite the fact it deserves more as per the laid down parameters and who had been in power during the times when such things happened? Is it not true that Jammu region has very less share in government jobs in Civil Secretariat and whether it was not Congress in the governments during all those years when these recruitments were made? The list is very long and these are just some examples of discrimination with Jammu region from the years when Congress had been in power, Balbir said. The wrong policies of the past governments in the State made people of Ladakh feel isolated and discriminated, which left them with no option but to demand ST status, Balbir said and advised the Congress leader to not further let down his party by making such statements, which are beyond reality and hits his own party.

When one disregards one’s own naivety: Bijral

SS Bijral

One disturbs the hornet’s nest when one disregards one’s own naivety. This is what Jammu University Vice- Chancellor Prof. R.D. Sharma has done raking up issue of killing of Burhan Wani the slain terrorist.

Prof R.D. Sharma, the VC Jammu university during media interaction described the slain militant Burhan Wani of a ‘mass based personality’ and said, “To avoid unrest like situation prevailing in Kashmir valley for the last four months, I feel Burhan Wani should not have been killed but captured alive.”  S.S. Bijral, former IGP and spokesperson of state BJP said the Vice Chancellor having admitted he is not a politician but an academician ought to have avoided this pitiable situation. As academician his dabbling into a subject he had no competence is set to create rather than solve problem. But disregarded his ingenuousness  at security functions in particular and  governance in general.

For his artlessness at reviving an issue pushed to the background, Prof. Sharma ought to answer these posers: 1) Are you aware who is a terrorist for you said he should have been captured alive? 2) Are you aware when, and what qualifies a criminal to have a cash reward for his head? 3) Are you aware that Burhan Wani, carried a reward of Rs 10 lakhs on his head? 4) Are you aware of figures of police and security forces personnel martyred fighting terrorism in J&K  protecting sovereignty and integrity of country ?  5) What is the basis of your describing the said slain terrorist as a mass based personality? 6) What prevents you from believing in CM Mehbooba Mufti, the popular Valley leader & PDP President saying the current unrest is handiwork of only 5% of valley population & still insisting that we should understand mindset of Kashmiri people and make efforts for resolution of Kashmir problem. 7) What do you think is the Kashmir problem that requires resolution after state’s irrevocable accession to Union of India, endorsed by state Constituent Assembly and mandated by state Constitution.

From the comments made at press briefing, it’s only hoped that the Vice Chancellor didn’t intend to add more shine to the university after it’s A+ grading by NAAC on lines of JNU-‘badnam huveiy to kya hua, naam to hai.

JU VC brought disrepute to his profession : BJP

balbir-ram

Strongly condemning the recent utterance made by Jammu University Vice-Chancellor Prof. R.D. Sharma on the killing of dreaded terrorist Burhan Wani, the State BJP has said that by saying so Mr. Sharma has brought disrepute to his profession and the position that he is holding.

BJP State Spokesperson, Balbir Ram Rattan, while expressing anguish and shock over such an irresponsible outburst, said that the Vice-Chancellor has created doubts about his credentials as such a statement was not expected from an academician of his stature and it looks that he is playing in the hands of separatists and anti national forces. Such a statement has also disrespected the martyrs, who have been sacrificing their lives in counter insurgency operations in the valley and other parts of this border state. His statement may disturb the peace of Jammu region and cause untoward happenings, he feared.

Balbir Ram Rattan said that the Chancellor and the Pro-Chancellor of Jammu University should take cognizance of the episode and take stern action against Prof. R.D Sharma, who has even gone to the extent of speaking the voice of Pak PM Nawaz Sharif terming Burhan Wani as “Mass based personality”, which shows that the VC is toeing the line of separatists, whose only agenda has been to provoke the young boys and push them towards  anti-national activities.  

“The VC is trying to behave like a politician and as a security expert rather than devoting time and energy to be a responsible head of Jammu’s largest educational institution”, Balbir said and added that it is foolish on the part of an academician to expect the security persons to catch Burhan Wani live, who was carrying AK-47 and other weapons and had reward of Rs. 10 lakh on his head.

Balbir also advised the VC to focus on development of Jammu University as a hub of quality education and personality development of its scholars rather than dabbling in subjects that do not fall in his domain.

Farooq’s statement has dangerous designs: Prof Virender

Prof.-Virender-Gupta

State BJP Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta criticized Dr. Farooq Abdullah for his statement asking Mehbooba Mufti to step down as Chief Minister of the state shows that the National Conference acted behind the scene to create disturbances in the valley and supported the separatist forces to keep valley in turmoil for the last about four months. He said that this is also obvious from the fact that none of the NC leaders put any effort to bring normalcy in the valley. He said that it is reality that the hop brass of the NC leadership was critical Mehbooda led PDP-BJP alliance government and issued statement blaming the present government for the situation that erupted after the killing Burhan Wani, but it never uttered a single word against the separatists, terrorists and the Pakistan for fomenting the trouble.

Prof. Virender Gupta asked Farooq Abdullah about the efforts he ha put to get stopped the burning of schools, convince the separatists leaders for allowing the opining of schools and other academic institutions across the valley so that the career of young generation does not get spoiled.

He said that asking Mehbooba Mufti step down as Chief Minister of the state amounts to further aggravating the situation in the valley and creating further chaos in the state. This reflects a dangerous and mischievous game plan of National Conference, which wants to grind its own political interests without caring about the consequences that the people of valley and country would face, it the present Chief Minister steps down.

Prof. Virender Gupta stated that there is no denying the fact that war is no solution as it costs heavy losses lives and property on both sides, but if the enemy is bent upon to violate the ceasefire and indulge in intensive firing on this side of borders, there is no alternative left to reply back the enemy forcefully. He asked  Farooq Abdullah to render his valuable advice to the separatists and Pakistan telling them to maintain peace and live like good neighbours.

Selective “Healing Touch” can be counter- productive: Brig Gupta

anil

Chief Minister in a recent meeting held with the senior officials has advised them to “find empathetic plan of action to contain the situation”. It is learnt that she is planning to apply the “healing touch” by reviewing those cases where students and first-timers are involved and release them after obtaining assurances from their parents. It is also learnt that the CM is also planning to suitably rehabilitate them. The idea on face of it appears to be good but a detailed analysis reveals serious consequences not only in Kashmir but other two parts of the state as well, commented Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party. Releasing the stone- pelters, instigators and their sympathizers, even if first-timers, without going through the proper process of law will send a very wrong message to the law-abiding, peace-loving youth of the state. Anybody who dares to challenge the authority of the state and  prevents the security forces from carrying out their lawful duties by pelting stones at them, causing grievous injuries to their on-duty personnel, deserves to be punished so that he dare not repeat such heinous crime again. If let free due to empathetic consideration may lead to emboldening them and at the same time encourage the peace-loving youth to resort to violence to ensure that their grievances are also heard. It raises a very pertinent question, “Why should only those be heard who indulge in violence and not those who are peaceful and continue to suffer in silence?” lamented Brig Gupta.

Rather than releasing the offenders on empathy, Brig Anil Gupta suggested establishing special reformatory jails for such youth arrested during the past four months for varying offences but all amounting to challenging the authority of the state in some form or the other. The prime task of these reformatory jails should be “De-radicalization” and promotion of the integrated culture of the state.  The “Skill-Development” should also be done simultaneously so that it helps them in finding a suitable job after release from the jail. The aim of “Healing Touch” this time should be “transformation” rather than appeasement.

Elaborating further Brig Gupta said that the youth in the entire state feels neglected and is agitated due to unemployment because of faulty policies of the previous governments but the majority of them have not chosen to vent their anger by attacking the security forces or burning government property. Why should they continue to suffer for being law-abiding citizens? They also need a healing touch by providing them employment and job opportunities by ending regional discrimination in providing government jobs. The case in point is the manning of state’s civil secretariat which is highly skewed in favour of a particular region and community according to the spokesperson.

Blunders of Cong responsible for all ills: BJP

vir-prof

In a joint press conference, the State BJP Spokespersons, Prof. Virender Gupta, Arun Gupta and Balbir Ram Rattan, said that some individual based parties those having no representation in the assembly are in the habit of making hue and cry on the prevailing situation and on non issues. They have been repeatedly demanding Governor rule in the state in order to remain in the news.

While reacting to the statements issued by opposition leaders, including Ghulam Nabi Azad and Farooq Abdullah, criticizing the PDP-BJP alliance government for the present turmoil in the Valley, the BJP State Spokespersons said that the parties to which these leaders belong to, had miserably failed in discharging their duties towards the people of Jammu & Kashmir and in particular to those residing on the borders, while in power. They added that the failure of NC-Congress to provide sensitive and responsive government to the public of the State resulted in their route in the last elections. They questioned the NC and Congress leaders’ role in the eruption of Pakistan sponsored terrorism and their policy of allowing free hand to separatist forces to create an explosive situation in the Valley, that turned out of control of the State Government led by their parties in 1990. After 1990, the situation in the Valley always remained tense and as a result, the unfortunate episode of 2008 and 2010 occurred. In 2008 it was Congress-PDP alliance government and Azad was heading the Government as Chief Minister, whereas in 2010, Congress was sharing power with National Conference with Omar as the Chief Minister.

The Spokespersons said that policies of Congress party at the Centre and the NC in the state are responsible for the present state of affairs and added that blunders committed by Pt. Nehru and other Congress leaders are mainly responsible for promoting separatism in the Valley.

They expressed their surprise that veteran  leaders of Congress and NC, Ghulam Nabi Azad and Farooq Abdullah, blamed PDP-BJP alliance government in the state for unrest in the Valley but did not say anything regarding the role of separatists and Pakistan in fomenting  the present trouble and these leaders also held Modi government at the Centre responsible for the explosive situation along the borders and ongoing unrest in the Valley, without uttering a single word  against the Pakistan, which is continuously engaged in heavy mortar shelling almost on 50 areas on the border causing causalities, both of civilians and security forces, damaging houses and crops and causing losses of cattle.

The Spokespersons termed Azad’s statement that BJP should not have formed government in alliance with PDP and the present unrest in Valley is the outcome of this decision, as most ill-logical and undemocratic and it amounts to suggest that National parties should wash their hand off the Valley in the matter of contesting the elections. They said that in a democracy the mandate of the people should be respected whether it is a regional or national party, if the people trusted it in the elections, it is obliged to participate in the government formation to honour their trust. They further said Azad’s statement also amounts to admission of the failure of Congress party to bring the people of the Valley in the National mainstream. The reminded Azad and Farooq Abdullah that policy of Vajpayee led NDA government to bring peace and normalcy, both on the borders and in the Valley, is still being appreciated by Pakistan and other concerned people.

PDP-BJP government performance in this crucial juncture has been far better than the previous government led by Omar Abdullah, who became too much nervous when abnormal floods created disastrous situation and failed to call even the cabinet meeting and gear up the administration to meet the challenge of adverse situation, even 15 days after the eruption of tragedy. NC-Congress alliance failed to meet even single promise that was made to the people of the state. The corruption was rampant and administration efficiency was at it lowest ebb during their rule. They added that the present alliance government continued its development activities and programmes for the welfare of the people, inspite of the disturbances and bandhs in the Valley. The people residing within 10 km of the border were asked to vacate their residences and government provided all types of help in getting their residential areas vacated and providing them suitable shelter including the bunkers.

Health Deptt Daily Wagers call on Aseem

aseem-g

A deputation of Daily Wager/Need based workers from Government Medical College and Associated Hospital of Jammu Province called on BJP State Secretary Aseem Gupta during his weekly sitting at party office, submitted a memorandum containing their grievances and urged upon him to help them in redressal of the same.

Led by Puneet Sharma, President, Daily Wager/Need Based Workers, they narrated their woes saying that for the last 30 months no wages have been paid to them as a result of which their families are at the verge of starvation. They told the BJP leader that due to non-payment of monthly fee, their children are facing suspension in schools, they do not have fare even to travel to perform duties, old aged parents too are suffering as they are dependent on them for medical needs. The members of the deputation further added that they are all indebted to private financiers and relatives, who non refuse to further finance them.

Making a fervent appeal to intervene in the matter, they told Aseem Gupta all their past efforts have proved futile as none has cared to look into their grievances and adopt a humane approach towards them.

The memorandum submitted by them said that the Daily Wager/Need Based Workers engaged at GMC, SMGS, CD and SSH Hospitals of Jammu have been operating all the mechanical machines in these hospitals for long time but the medical authorities have now engaged non-technical staff to run these machines, which is risky and a serious matter. They regretted that they are being held responsible for the damage caused to machines by non-technical staff in Super Specialty, which is totally unjustified. On one hand, they are not being past wages, on the other, are subjected to harassment, they lamented.   

Aseem heard their grievances with patience and assured that whatever has been brought into his notice will be soon taken up with the Health Minister.

Dr.Gagan inaugurates camp on “Seed Village Program” at  village Khour

mail-1M.L.A R.S Pura Dr.Gagan Bhagat inaugurated the awareness camp on the “Seed Village Program” (S.V.P) at Village Khour of R.S Pura Constituency, being organized by the department of Agriculture and funded by the Union Agriculture Ministry. Addressing a jam packed gathering of farmers and villagers in the Community hall at Village Khour, Dr.Gagan Bhagat said that seed is the starting point of agriculture and dictates ultimate productivity of other inputs. Good quality seed alone increases the yield by 15-20 per cent. To meet the potential challenge of catering to the food need of 1.4 billion people of our country by 2025, a quantum increase in agricultural productivity is very much essential and hence production and distribution of high quality seeds of improved varieties/ hybrids to the farming community is becoming increasingly important. The expansion of agriculture under tropical conditions due to the improvement of cultivars with juvenile period imposed a scientific and technological challenges concerning the seed production under different environmental conditions. Dr.Gagan further said that the Seed Village Program aims at upgrading the quality of farm saved seeds and ensures supply of quality certified seed of notified varieties to the farmers in time at their places at affordable prices besides ensuring quick multiplication of new seed varieties in a shorter time in that area based on the crop situation. The government of India has set up a Seeds Bank in 1999-2000 during the tenure of NDA. The core idea is to meet the contingency in seeds demand in the country. The Seeds Bank Scheme is being implemented through National Seeds Corporation, States Farms Corporation of India and 12 State Seeds Corporations in the country. He maintained that majority of people of R.S Pura belongs to farming community and the Union as well the State Govt. is trying to improve the agriculture production, and this can only be archived if the farmers gets proper guidance from the experts of the agricultural department. He directed the officials present in the awareness camp to be readily available to the farmers and hold interactive sessions at Mohalla levels and prepare a work done report every month, which will be monitored in the monthly meeting of R.S Pura Constituency. S.D.A.O Farooq Bhat while speaking said that the seed village program (SVP) includes the participation of state government, SAU system, public sector, cooperative and private sector institutions. With the best efforts of all these organized sectors, only 15-20 per cent of the total requirement of quality seed is being met with. In most, kind of seeds, the farmers depend on their own farm saved seeds for crop production which needs certain basic practices of selection of good seeds for sowing.There is vast scope to produce and distribute quality seeds in these corps for which seed village concept is a noval and highly practical approach.On the occasion S.D.A.O Farooq Bhat, A.E.O Sagar Chand Sharma ,Asst.A.E.O, V.A.E.A’s of the department , B.D.O Miran Sahib Naresh Kumar,B.J.P Mandal Pradhan Miran Sahib Devendra Sharma, T.S.O Miran Sahib T.R Khajuria, S.H.O Miran Sahib Pawan Kumar,Ramesh Lal, Ashok Salaria, Bishan Dass, Harbhajan Singh and others.

Azad’s statement illogical, misleading : BJP

balbir-ram

The State unit of BJP has strongly rebutted what it terms as the false and misleading statement of Congress’ top leader Ghulam Nabi Azad displaying himself as a very immature politician, who seems to be having less knowledge of democratic setup. Lamenting over Azad’s recent remarks over the border skirmishes, BJP has stated that the Congress leader’s immaturity got further exposed while he alleged that Modi government is responsible for situation along borders and unrest in Kashmir.

This was stated by BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, while terming the allegations as baseless and irrational, which is merely aimed at tarnishing the image of BJP. Such illogical and unreasonable uttering are outcome of the fact that BJP has been repeatedly pushing Congress to the wall during the successive elections since 2014.

Balbir Ram Rattan reminded the Congress and its stalwarts that India is a democratic country and people elect or reject their representatives to form the government. Therefore, Congress has no right nor does it behove well on part of the senior most leader like Azad to blame BJP for terming the formation of government by BJP as the blunder, Balbir remarked.

In order to substantiate his point, the BJP leader gave the figures and facts on account of which it was not just a political expediency but imperative for the BJP to form the government.

“The BJP had won 25 out of 37 assembly seats and it was a clear mandate in favour of BJP while PDP too had  a clear mandate from the people  of Kashmir”, Balbir said and added that BJP and PDP have only  honoured the mandate of the people of Jammu and Kashmir respectively.

Balbir further said that the fact that Congress has been rejected by the people through the process of ballet, has not been accepted gracefully by this party. The single point agenda of Congress is to criticize BJP and its leadership, whereas they are turning a blind eye deliberately to the massive development projects undertaken by the present coalition government of BJP for the sole reason that the Congress has not yet reconciled to fact they are in opposition nor do they have the capacity to appreciate the good works being done by the present governments both at Centre and state level, the BJP leader said.

The BJP spokesperson further said it was unfortunate for the veteran Congress leader to count and compare the ceasefire violations during UPA regime and under the present dispensation, contending these are not the parameters he should use to describe the performance of the government. Moreover, if he feels for over 50 years people in Kashmir have not accepted Congress, there must be some reasons which leaders like Azad might be knowing better, he said.

Regular Acidents & Loss of Life Calls for Stringent Laws: Vibodh

vibodhCitizens Loosing Life Because of Negligent Driving  BJP senior leader and MLC Vibodh Gupta reacted very sharply towards various regular accidents happening in different parts of the state. While expressing shock over the death of three persons and serious injuries to many persons in a bus accident at Guntrian in Poonch, Vibodh demanded a through probe into  the reasons behind this accident. In a press statement issued here he said that these days accidents and loss of life have become a routine affair and every time a accident happens we condole the loss of life and in the process the actual culprits behind these never get punished. While referring to another recent accident at Jamola in Rajouri, he said that in that accident also three members of a family from DaniDhar lost their lives. Latter it came to light through other passengers in the same bus that at that time, driver was drunk and was driving rashly. In such cases it becomes very vital that such guilty persons must be brought to book and strict punishment should be given to these. For these we need much more strong and strict laws and few negligent drivers should never be allowed to play with the lives of others. Further the way in which the accidents these days have become a routine, Government, Civil Society as well as social organizations need to sit together and must chalk out a strategy to deal with this. As we have awareness campaigns for drugs and corruption, similar campaigns are needed for safe and smart driving as well. Now is the high time that concerned Government department’s dealing with vehicular traffic and roads must also give a serious thought to regular accidents and need to design a way out so that the regular loss of life because of these accidents must not become a routine. Also every time a accidents happens, we must ensure a through probe and fix responsibility for the person who are behind these. We can not allow this to go on and on and remain a mute spectator to this rather we need to ensure that highest possible punishment is given to culprits behind this. Also drivers using mobile phones during driving must be strongly punished as this has because a serious issue as far as safety of the people walking on the roads is concerned. Vibodh hoped for the speedy recovery of all the passengers who were injured in tragic accident at Poonch.

The Spokesperson asked the Government of India to appoint a Nodal Officer who can look into their day to day grievances and take steps for their redressal. He further added that seats for their wards be reserved in the institutions outside J&K State and they should be provided scholarship for persuing their studies as being done in case of minorities and other downtrodden people.

Insistent firing by Pakistan on civilian localities with Heavy Mortars : Sunil Sethi

Sunil Sethi

Insistent firing by Pakistan on civilian localities with Heavy Mortars resulting into deaths of civilians including children and women has exposed the real face of Pakistan to the whole world. It has proved once again that it has no regard for human lives and non combatants while resorting to unprovoked firing. This was said by Chief Spokesperson of BJP Sunil Sethi in press release .

Pakistan is showing its frustration on the surgical strikes carried by India in exercise of its internationally recognized right of taking punitive action in territories sending terrorists to India. While whole world has approved the action of India , there is wide scale condemnation to the demonic conduct of Pakistan . India is retaliating to Pakistan with more fire power and resolve which is sending shivers down spine of Pakistan.

Pakistan gets encouragement from some political persons from this side of border who are raising the voice of dialogue with Pakistan. Such like voices are only working against national interest and all such persons asking for dialogue of Peace with Pakistan at the face of heavy Mortars firing by Pakistan are anti people and are trying to do politics on death and destruction.  While the border people have shown firmness and commitment and are asking for teaching Pakistan lessons it will never forget. Time has come to settle scores with Pakistan of all terrorist incursion from its controlled territory and to break it to pieces for larger interest of world peace.

Sunil Sethi further said that Pakistan is further frustrated because of internal discord with its territory when opposition parties are exposing the corruption of govt and in order to divert attention of people it is resorting to heavy firing resulting into war like situation on Border. This is time for whole country to stand together against Pakistan and show our patriotism rather than creating discord . He called upon people to generously contribute to relief to Border residents in these difficult times.

Dr.Gagan  distributes Ration Card under “National Food Security Act” at  R.S Pura

rc-nfsa-mailM.L.A R.S Pura Dr. Gagan Bhagat started the distribution of New Ration Cards under the recently launched National Food Security Act (N.F.S.A) in the State at Village Ban Sultan Miran Sahib in R.S Pura Constituency. The demand of Ration Card was very genuine as the people were demanding it for the last several months but due to disparities in the P.H.H, N.P.H.H, and EX List, the department as well as the consumers were finding very tough the new classification as per the N.F.S.A. While addressing the gathering Dr. Gagan Bhagat said J&K is doing well under the National Food Security Act (N.F.S.A), as M.L.A R.S Pura Dr. Gagan Bhagat on Saturday  started distribution of New Ration Cards to the beneficiaries. From  February 1, 2016 the National Food Act has been implemented in all the  districts of the state .Five kg of rice per person is as per the central law but to increase it is our mandate. We will review this once we get details from the people and will take corrective measures” to the coalition government of B.J.P in Jammu & Kashmir . He further said, “The controversy is over reduction of the scale, but I assure the people of R.S Pura Constituency that the government won’t create any deficiency of ration and it will be provided as per 100 percent requirement. The government will maintain a reasonable scale of ration .“Under the N.F.S.A, the people in the priority category - more than 60 percent of Jammu and Kashmir’s population - will get an assured supply of ration right at their doorsteps in a hassle-free environment. Any person who is denied ration shall be given the same according to the Food Security Allowance through an inbuilt mechanism which has been incorporated in the Act at State level,” he added. The Act was passed by parliament in 2013 to provide for food and nutritional security by ensuring access to adequate quantity of quality food at affordable prices and to enable people to live a life of dignity.“The whole idea is to put food on table for the poorest of the poor. Presently, the department of Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs (F,C.S & C.A) is providing ration to a population of 12 Lakh people at lower rates. But under the NFSA, a massive portion of the population, 74.13 Lakh to be exact, will be get rice at Rs.3 per kg and wheat at Rs.2 per kg. Another 45 lakh people will be provided wheat at Rs. 8 per kg and rice at Rs 10 per kg,” Dr. Gagan said.To rectify the mistakes and to clarify some important points M.L.A R.S Pura Dr. Gagan Bhagat had himself taken the initiative and will distribute the ration card himself in the Villages and at the Fair Price Shops of the Department so that he can interact with the consumers and listen to the grievance and along with him the A.D ,T.S.O ,Tehsildar and other officials of the administration will also accompany so that the people of R.S Pura get their due share and no deserving person is deprived of his rights, said T.S.O R.S Pura Ashwani Sharma. The department has also opened Ration Card Data Based Management System in A.D of the F,C.S & C.A department , and the plan is to open it at every Tehsil level, so far, only 11 states and union territories including Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Delhi and Chandigarh have implemented the food Act.

Army is not an occupation force: Aseem Gupta

aseem-gupta

While the India army has been receiving applauds and appreciations from the nationalist people across the state of Jammu & Kashmir, a handful of people in valley have unleashed a false propaganda against it and projecting the same as the perception of the entire population. This was stated by BJP State Secretary & Prabhari Jammu Rural Aseem Gupta.

While dismissing the charges of MLA Langate Er. Rashid that “Kashmiris see army as an occupation force” and that Maharaja was forced to sign “Instrument of Accession”, Aseem said that whatever this single leader party chief has said is not true and just an attempt  to mislead the people of the state, Kashmir in particular. He said that the India army, right from 1947, when it landed in Kashmir after J&K became legal and constitutional part of Union of India, it has been here to maintain vigil on borders as well as come to the rescue of the civil population in times of floods, earthquakes and help the administration in maintaining law and order during riots and tensions.

Aseem reminded Er. Rashid that it is, infact, the leader like him and a handful of separatists, who should retrospect and recognize the splendid contribution and supreme sacrifices of the brave soldiers of the Indian army while performing their duties in Jammu & Kashmir.

The extent of the cheap politics being played by Er. Rashid can also be well judged from the fact that it was the Indian army men, who during 2014 floods in Kashmir, came to the rescue of the people when the so-called leaders of separatist organisations had to take refuge on the shoulders of these jawans to survive the natural calamity.  

Aseem Gupta advised Er. Rashid and others to adopt a human approach, think in a human way and indulge in the politics which suits the good human beings rather than making baseless allegations and claims.

Dual-face of Geelani exposed: Brig Gupta

Brig. Anil Gupta

Repeated calls of Bandh and hartal, issuance of calendar on regular basis, forced closure of educational institutions, burning of school buildings, public and private transport are all aimed at keeping the common Kashmiri deprived of the basic necessities and prevent him from earning his daily bread. The sinister design of Hurriyat, separatists, soft-separatists and their sympathizers is to ensure that the Kashmiris remain illiterate, poor, unemployed and radicalized so that they can carry forward the Pak-sponsored agenda of keeping the Valley on a boil as part of its “Bleed India through Thousand Cuts” strategy. These paid agents of the Pakistani deep state are not concerned about the welfare or well-being of the Kashmiri people but want Kashmir to remain under-developed and backward so that they can exploit the innocent Kashmiris, according to Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party.

The spokesperson further accused them of betraying the Kashmiri youth and future generations through sinister design of burning the school buildings and forced closure of schools in the rural areas while their own kith and kin and their children are studying in costly private public/convent schools in Srinagar or other parts of India as well as abroad. “What is the fault of these poor children except they are born to poor parents and are not as privileged as the children of their so-called sympathizers and leaders”, questioned Brig Gupta.

Exposing the dual –face of Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Hurriyat Chairman, Brig Anil Gupta disclosed that the daughter of Geelani’s eldest son Dr. Nayeem Zafar Geelani and his granddaughter, a class 10 student in Delhi Public School Srinagar, was among the 573 students who attended the internal exams for DPS students of classes 9 and 10. The exams were held this month at an indoor stadium inside a high-security zone in the city.  Brig Gupta exhorted the people of Kashmir to understand the reality and not allow the Pakistani agents to exploit their innocence for achieving their personal agendas without even an iota of concern for the common Kashmiris. He further said that the people like Geelani and other separatists have been exploiting the Kashmiris for more than three decades now by selling those false dreams and hopes and ensuring that the masses remain embroiled in conflict while they and their favourites prosper. Other than death and destruction they have not delivered anything to the Kashmiris, rued Brig Gupta and made a fervent appeal to them to take to task the separatists and hold them responsible for their present state of miseries by isolating and exposing them.

Plebiscite or secession are impossible: Prof Virender

Prof.-Virender-Gupta

BJP State Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta, in a statement said that people of Kashmir Valley, who are pursuing the agenda of Pakistan and launching the movement of separation from India and supporting the terrorist activities, should realize and acknowledge the reality of Accession of J&K State with India and the fact that Accession is irrevocable and J&K had become integral part of Indian Union and no part of the Union can be allowed to secede at any cost. He added that the Kashmiris should consider themselves as fortunate enough that they are placed in a country which is the biggest democracy of the world and owns the traditions of tolerance, secularism and believes in the co-existence of all religious faiths and customs.

He further said that had Dogra soldiers not resisted the Pakistani invaders in 1947 and delayed their march towards Valley, the people of Srinagar and other parts of Valley would have been subjected to same fate of loot and tyranny as was witnessed in Baramulla and had Valley become the part of Pakistan, they would have been treated as the people of POJK, including Gilgit and Baltistan and those of Balochistan, being treated and their voice would have been crushed by Pakistan army, which rules Pakistan directly or through proxy. The demography of Valley would have been changed and Kashmiri culture would have vanished.

He added that UNO resolution, as per the previous General Secretary of UNO and world leaders, has become irrelevant and if the people of Valley with vested interests, still want the plebiscite then they need to ask Pakistan to complete the pre-conditions laid down in the UNO resolution of vacating the whole part of J&K occupied by it, so that their demand of plebiscite can be implemented.   

He stated that they should feel obliged to Maharaja Gulab Singh who made Kashmir valley as part of his kingdom and thus did not allow it to  come under domination of British rule. He also said that Dogra rule relieved the Valley from the tyranny and oppression inflicted on them by Afghan and other rulers and gave it an opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a welfare state that treated all its subject equitability and provided justice to everyone. He reminded the Kashmiri masses about the development works done during the Dogra Rulers, who opened schools, colleges, and hospitals, built roads and canals, both in Jammu region as well as in Valley. He narrated that on the representation  of Kashmiri Muslim leaders on Oct. 1924 that Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir was discriminated against the Kashmiri Muslims, denied them their privileges and their due share in state services suppress their peaceful demonstrations through militancy attacks, Govenor General of India appointed a three member committee and the committee in its report bailed out Maharaja and it observed that darbar had shown no prejudices against their Mohammadan subjects and there was no discrimination against them in the matter of state services.

Prof. Virender Gupta appealed to the Valley people, particularly the Kashmiri leaders to shed their prejudices against India and its leaders, feel honoured as being the part of India and added that their progress, prosperity and safety of their identity is only ensured in Indian Nation.

No room for religious violence and hatred: BJP

Sunil SethiState Bharatiya Janata Party has impressed that while India allows and permit all peace loving people to live in India and propagate their religious beliefs and follow them but this can't be extended to give any room for religious violence and hatred. For enjoying right of peaceful existence guaranteed by Constitution and concept of Indianism, one has to accept and follow right of others for peaceful existence. Making a statement in this behalf, State Chief Spokesperson of BJP, Sunil Sethi, said that people of all religions in India should understand and acknowledge that they have to look within and not outside to find solutions to their aspirations and problems. Those persons who look towards outsiders for help will bring only destruction not only to others but to themselves too. India, as a strong country, will never permit or tolerate any interference from any outside force into any issue within India. Unfortunately some people are looking towards Pakistan or Militant Islamic states for their misconceived notion of getting prominence and dividing the nation on lines of religious intolerance and in the process trying to follow and emulate the path of violence, which is burning whole Middle East and beyond.  Their efforts have only brought miseries and violence to the Land of Peace. Sunil Sethi further said that those who are playing with fire and killing others, will soon get heat of same fire, which will engulf them and their families too. Sethi said it is resolve of Indian State to ensure peace for all its citizens and in the process if any person or group  of persons is fermenting trouble for society then such persons or groups have no place in civilised society.  They will be isolated and dealt with severely.  Those who show no mercy to others should expect no mercy to themselves too. Sunil Sethi said that the resolve and efforts of Central Govt and State Govt to bring peace in Jammu and Kashmir is appreciable and the approach and way to deal with trouble makers and anti nationals have brought into focus the resurgent approach of the country of ‘Zero Tolerance’ to separatism and anti nationalism.  The separatist elements and leaders expecting India to talk to them under tactics of blackmailing and pressure are living in fool's paradise. There can be NO TALKS till they support separatism and militancy and till the time they have any relationship with any country which is hostile towards India. The sooner they understand, better it will be for them. He said that present forced unrest by Pakistan supported separatists has created difficulties and problems in the lives of common men in the Valley and while people are eager to resume normal life but they are being stopped with force by separatists and militants. Sunil Sethi called upon common peace loving Kashmiris to negate the dictate of Separatists and asked the state to provide full security to the people, who are resuming normal life.

Modi government for better means of connectivity: Balbir

balbir-ramThe recent approval granted by the Union government for taking over the construction of Bhaderwah-Chamba road for joining the Jammu & Kashmir with Himachal Pradesh is one more decision of the Narendra Modi-led NDA government aimed at providing more and better means of road connectivity. This was stated by BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan while terming the decision as one more initiative for accelerating the developmental activities in this border state as the network of well constructed roads is the basic requirement for bringing progress and prosperity in any region and regretted that the project was pending for the last many years due to the slackness of the previous governments in the state. It is also a matter of elation that the road has been declared National Highway which shall facilitate the inter- state travel in the shortest possible time and encourage the tourism of both the states. Balbir Ram Rattan Said that the assurance from the Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways Nitin Gadkari that Delhi- Amritsar- Katra Expressway Project will be completed in the shortest period of time is also an indication of the commitment of  Union government to not sit on vital projects but to accelerate their executions. The most important aspect of this highway is that it will link two holy cities of Amritsar and Katra. The BJP Spokesperson further said that the state unit of BJP, on behalf of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, express gratitude to the Union Minister for Road  Transport & Highways for his approval for construction of two roads in the state, from Dayalachak to Challan and Lakhanpur to Donera via Basohli for bettering the road transport facilities in the state. The party is also highly appreciable of the concrete efforts of the Deputy Chief Minister Dr. Nirmal Singh for pursuing number of mega projects for the state with the Union government. Balbir said that the views expressed by Nitin Gadkari that the centre is keen for constructing strategically important Zojila tunnel linking Ladakh region with the rest of the country and make it all weather road is one more instance reflecting the resolve of the government at the centre to include all the three regions of the state in matters related to development and link them with other states.

Connecting twin Borders Districts of Rajouri and Poonch : Sunil Sethi

Sunil Sethi

State Bharatiya Janata Party has asked the state to ensure maintenance of high surveillance on Mughal Road connecting twin Borders Districts of Rajouri and Poonch and also to ensure that road is used for people contact and for trade and business activities and not for fermenting trouble and hatred in peace loving society of twin Districts.

While making strong case for heightened security check and sanitizing the people travelling on Mughal Road, State Chief Spokesperson of BJP Sunil Sethi said that road is being used by radical and fringe elements of Kashmir for anti national, anti social, divisive and illegal activities.  The people of twin districts are not getting the benefits which should have flowed to them through road constructed and maintained by government at high cost. There are reports of increased distribution and availability of narcotics in twin districts moving through Mughal Road which is very serious. This drug money being used in separatist activities is also highly probable.

Sunil Sethi further said that radical separatist elements from valley are frequently visiting in twin border Districts to fan communal hatred and disturbances which was evidenced in recent events when unrest in Kashmir at behest of Pakistan and it's stooges was sought to be spread in these two Districts.  They couldn't succeed because of traditional communal harmony prevailing in region is another aspect. These type of anti national activities being spread to Jammu is not acceptable and tolerable to BJP.

Sunil Sethi further noted that similar attempts to vitiate peace in Doda, Bhaderwah and Kishtwar has also been made by separatists to effect division of society on communal and religious lines which is highly deplorable. The effect to engineer demographic changes in Jammu regions will never be tolerated by Bharatiya Janata Party. Party will always stand for communal harmony and national integrity.

While Jammu has always welcomed the people who have to migrate from other regions for different reasons as also people who come for settlement and Jammuites have always shown big heart but it will not show no tolerance for elements who come to Jammu to create trouble and indulge in anti national activities or who come with sinister designs to disrupt communal harmony and peace . Sunil Sethi said persons with hatred in agenda and mind filled with anti nationalism will not be permitted to settle or grow by Jammu society.

MLC Ashok Khajuria said that present situation in the state needs the leaders like Pt. Premnath Dogra who always stood like a rock against the forces which were working to weaken the state’s relations with the Union of India.

MoS Education Priya Sethi said that the contribution of Panditji has been splendid in leading the agitation which set examples to be followed by generations to come.

Senior leader Adv. Chander Mohan Sharma said that although Panditji had different view on some important issues but still the then opposition parties had very high regards for him which itself speak that he was a matchless leader.

MLA Rajesh Gupta said that the mission of Pt. Premnath Dogra is still incomplete and each one of us is committed to devote time and energy to achieve the same.

Militant is a militant, whether local or other : BJP

Arun Gupta

Stressing upon the core ideology of deep inbuilt nationalism, BJP J&K State unit very strongly pitched for understanding of a militant, who is responsible for the killings of innocent civilians as well as army and security personnel besides being involved in picking  gun against nation, cannot be forgiven as stated by Arun Kumar Gupta, State Spokesperson, BJP J&K in a press statement today.

Drawing line to differentiate a local militant and one from foreign land, does not matter as both are doing same activity and any country worth its salt cannot accept it as a forgiving mistake. Raising of gun against nation is something, no country can accept and people involved have to be dealt as law of land demands. 

“BJP is of the firm belief that all nationalist forces need to be respected and those involved in anti-national activities be taught an exemplary lesson for others to follow, added Arun Kumar Gupta.

Our police and special forces cannot be made to remain quiet and accept these situations but they be given full authority to deal with these elements as situation warrants. It is this lackluster and appeasing policy and attitude of previous Governments in the country, which have brought things to this level that anybody, if so desires, can talk or work against the nation without any question or action.

“BJP cannot and will not accept these under any circumstances and would only work for the development of state and nation and any force coming in the way to harm nation would be dealt as strongly as needed”, added Arun Kumar Gupta.

BJP further wondered as to how a nation can progress when indisciplined citizen is given so much of importance over the law abiding and nationalist one, and appeasement policy, whether for stone pelter, separatist or militants, is always ready to be given on platter. Arun Kumar Gupta further said that enough is enough and no their would not be any more tolerating of such  activity which is against the interests of the nation.

SS BijralThe shocking tragic news of another road accident involving a passenger bus on way from Reasi to Babber, like numerous happened before, has left every soul stunned to cry in askance “when shall this road mayhem end in state of Jammu and Kashmir? The road tragedy that has taken toll of 24 dead and 48 critically injured, is though one amongst numerous before, shall never render the human hearts insensitive to this avoidable bloodletting, said BJP State Spokesperson S.S.Bijral. He said on an average over 6000 road accidents with over 1000 dead and 8000 injured happen in J&K annually, as per an official hand out. He said this figure, the double of the national average of accidents, speaks of the enormity of the situation prevailing and the attention it deserves to be paid. It’s the poor section of society using buses as mode of their travel, become the worst victims of this havoc on the road. This is while they are bearing with crippling effect of high cost of living, they are thrown out of work- the source of their income- due to accidents, and get additionally burdened with neck breaking cost of medical treatment as injured if happened to be lucky to survive. Bijral said, with this hell broken upon them the relief announced by the administration, howsoever quick, comes a big joke. What they most need is safety on the road. Bijral, the former IGP, said the cry of the time is the govt initiates measures fast to drastically minimize if not totally eliminate these tragedies befalling upon the poor people.. Accepting that oft quoted reasons of untrained drivers, heavy overloading, failure of traffic enforcement machinery are the causes of these accidents.

It’s common knowledge that black spots once detected for being accident prone, rectified, the chances of accidents there get eliminated altogether. He suggested that Central Road Research Institute New Delhi, the pioneer in traffic management, developing traffic management system, road safety audit, developing design of transport infrastructure should be co-opted to conduct audit of our roads to end this chaos that usher havoc on the poor masses of the poor state. He said this coupled with accountable strict law enforcement should by all reason deprive this being addressed a mayhem

Farooq should rescue PoJK people from Pak atrocities: Prof Virender

Prof.-Virender-Gupta

“Remaining silent for 90 days of turmoil in the valley, Farooq Abdullah is being seen as giving regular sermons, criticizing the actions of PDP-BJP government pleading for dialogue with the separatists and Pakistan and offering his services to facilitate dialogue for solving political issues of Kashmir”, Prof. Virender Gupta, BJP State Spokesperson termed this as merely a political gimmick, trying to reestablish the lost credential of National Conference.

Jammu and Kashmir State Bharatiya Janata Party has taken strong exception : Sunil Sethi

Sunil Sethi

Jammu and Kashmir State Bharatiya Janata Party has taken strong exception to efforts to change the name and nomenclature of the regions and areas of the state from their historical names.  The efforts are deliberate attempt to engineer divide between people in the basis of religion and region, which is not acceptable to BJP.

BJP State Chief Spokesperson Sunil Sethi, has taken strong exception to identifying state of Jammu province as Pir Panchal Region or Chenab Valley region to change demographic identity or its unity with Jammu region. The efforts to change names of region to create separate identity is a serious matter and exposes the designs to divide Jammu on religious and regional lines. More alarming is use of these names even by Ministers and politicians of Alliance Partners.

Sunil Sethi has called upon the alliance partner in government to address the regions of Jammu as existing and not to use distinct names to give rise to suspicion in the minds of people of Jammu region of efforts to divide the region. He said Jammu is one region only which has composite culture of which all Jammuites are proud of and any effort to divide Jammu region on artificial lines of region or religion will be opposed by people of Jammu region as well as Bharatiya Janata Party.

Sunil Sethi further asked the government to take appropriate action against persons who are trying to change names of historical places in Kashmir like Anantnag, Hari Parbhat, Shankaracharya etc. These places are of historical importance and change of their names hurts the religious sentiments of large segments of society.

Chief Spokesperson further said that Kashmiryat of which much is being talked and commented, is ideology of peaceful existence and mutual respect and no activity which intends to affect change in this should be tolerated by the government. Religious Tolerance and mutual respect is the key to lasting peaceful coexistence in the state, he added.

With the extension of date for filing annual Income Tax Returns (ITRs), now the hardships being faced by business community in the state has been mitigated to a large extent. This was claimed by BJP Professional Cell State Convener CA Deepak Kapahi while addressing media persons at party headquarters along with BJP State Spokespersons Brigadier Anil Gupta and Balbir Ram Rattan.

Deepak Kapahi said that due to the ongoing turmoil in the Valley the business community in particular was not in a position to file annual Income Tax Returns and keeping in view such a situation, the matter was raised by BJP at the highest level at the centre and in the state, which finally got node with the Govt. of India giving ample time to get the returns finalized of all the tax payers and file their ITRs by 31stDecember, 2016. If this would not have happened, the business community would have faced more hardships by way of penalties by Income Tax Department, he added.

Deepak Kapahi said that this could have happened only because of the timely intervention of  BJP State President & MLA Sat Sharma, who understood the gravity of the situation and intervened in this matter by talking it with the Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and State Finance Minister Haseeb Drabu,  appraised them of problems being faced by professionals and business community, who took the matter seriously and extended the date of filing ITRs to 31st December, 2016

“It is also pertinent to note that whenever this type of problem is faced, the BJP is the only party which takes the matter in hand and works to get the same resolved”, Deepak said and added that it has happened for the first time that seeing the plight of business community, any political party has intervened and got it resolved. He asked the people not to politicize this matter and cooperate business community in these days of turmoil in the Valley.

NC playing with career of Valley students: Sat Sharma

Sat Paul Sharma (CA)

Not even a single day passes when the NC leadership is not making statements which are detrimental to peace and normalcy in valley and are thus adding fuel to the ongoing unrest, the statements are aimed at projecting separatists as key stakeholders in Kashmir. It is very unfortunate that NC is not concerned for the well being of Kashmiri masses and the development of the valley. The NC leadership did not even hesitate to play with career of the students while making repeated demand for postponement of JKBOSE examinations, when the students themselves are approaching the Chief Minister and the Education Minister for holding examinations in time and are against postponing the same.

In an official handout, BJP State President & MLA Sat Sharma (C.A)  said that the government’s at the centre and in the state have been working hard to restore normalcy in the valley, is committed to early resumption of education across the valley and now even the students are defying the bandh calls and forming the classes but contrary to it NC is demanding postponement of exams. He said that the real face of NC is getting exposed after each statement of its leaders, including former Chief Minister and other senior leaders.

Sat Sharma said that the developments during last 100 days of unrest in Kashmir stand testimony to the fact that NC has never been sincere in safety and security of the people of Kashmir and wants continuation of the unrest. Not even a single appeal has emerged from any leader of NC to the youth to shed stone pelting. None of them have condemned killing of policemen or soldiers in attacks by terrorists. While the entire world community condemned the Uri Fidayeen attack, NC preferred to maintain stoic silence.

 “What the NC has been doing during all these days of unrest in Kashmir is  unhealthy politics”, Sat said and added that the NC leadership wants to promote Pak agenda by repeatedly demanding talks with Pakistan and involvement of separatists, which is highly unfortunate.

Referring to the desire expressed by the students before CM for conduct of regular classes and holding of annual exams as per schedule and assurance given by the CM of taking all effective steps in this regard so that the academic session of the students is not wasted, Sat Sharma said that the NC’s demand for postponement of exams is unjustified and for amounts to spoiling the career of students of the valley for petty political interests.

NC responsible for present state of affairs : Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-Gupta

State BJP Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta, said that Farooq Abdullah instead of blaming PDP-BJP alliance for the Kashmir unrest should introspect his and his  party’s doings and the policies pursued by NC after 1975 Indira Gandhi and Sheikh Accord and asked that who was responsible for 1990, 2008 and 2010 turmoils? He added that before 1990 and in 2010 it was NC-Congress alliance governments in the state. Prof. Virender held NC mainly responsible for the present state of affairs which not only supported and nourished separatist tendencies in the valley but itself followed the agenda of separatism and did not allow the people of valley to become the part of National mainstream.

The Spokesperson said that the present situation is not conducive for any dialogue with Pakistan when there are continuous provocations and ceasefire violations by Pakistan army on borders by shelling heavy gun fires  on Indian side of LoC and intruders from Pakistan side in Jammu & Kashmir are creating dangerous situation through their terrorist activities. He expressed surprise that Dr. Abdullah refrained from commenting on Uri attack and his demand for holding dialogue with Pakistan  coincides with that of Hurriyat.

Prof. Virender told Farooq that BJP does not consider Hurriyat leaders as stakeholders in Jammu and Kashmir issue as they are guided by their master across the border, i.e. Pakistan and added that people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh region, PoJK displaced persons, Kashmiri Pandits, Gujjars, Shia Muslims and people of the Indian nation by an large are the stakeholders in resolving the Jammu and Kashmir issue. He further said that India considers Pakistan as aggressor which has illegally occupied more than 50 per cent of J&K area which acceded to India in 1947 by virtue of Instrument of Accession signed by the then Maharaja Hari Singh.

NC, Cong brewing separatism: Prof Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta while reacting to the statement of NC leaders like Gulam Mohd. Saroori, Ajay Sadotra, Ch. Haroon Rashid Khatana along with others, said that during NC rule in the state, particularly during 2008-2014 there was complete chaos, utmost failure of administration as a result the development activities reached their lowest ebb. He said that when Valley and also some parts of Jammu region were faced with huge devastation due to floods Omar Abdullah, then Chief Minister of the State failed to even call the meeting of the State Cabinet to discuss the measures to be taken to face the alarming situation caused. There was complete collapse of official machinery and had the security forces NDMF teams were not engaged to save the lives and properties and immediate Central government  help not reached the valley and Srinagar city, the losses would have been tremendous. He also said that Omar’s government failed in providing employment to the unemployed youth as was promised before the elections. The faulty and unreasonable policy framed by then government where a youth employed was to get only 1/3rd of the basic pay, caused great resentment among the youth and society by large. Prof. Virender while bringing to the notice of Ajay Sadotra, said that it was BJP which has always been fighting the cause of POJK displaced persons of 1947, 1965 and 1971 and added that it was the Parliamentary Committee headed by BJP leader, N. Vankaiah Naidu that recommended Rs. 25 lakh to each displaced family and added that National Conference right from the very beginning, paid little concern to the problems of POJK displaced persons. He said that when now out of power NC is shedding crocodiles tears, however this would not help NC as people well understand the politics of this regional party. Prof. Virender Gupta blamed the NC for bowing the seeds of separatism and parochial politics right from its previous birth as—Muslim Conference and it pursued the same communal agenda even after being renamed as NC. He said that present turmoil in the valley and what happened in 1990, 2008 and 2010 and what is prevailing presently in the valley, were the consequences of its communal politics and also the result of its policy of booming separatist forces and added that the demand of Greater Autonomy or pre-1952 position by the party also amounts to separation from Indian Union. He said that leaders of NC itself off and on challenge the accession of J&K state with India.

Has Omar Abdullah given up on Jammu?

SS BijralOmar’s consternation  and vehement protest calling sanction of IIM for Jammu as ‘blatantly partisan politics’ leaves political pundits wondering whether he has finally given up on Jammu. Its amazing learning Omar Abdullah, one full term chief minister under oath responsible for development of state as one entity without regional bias and also the one regarded as being secular, could not conceal his fond love for Kashmir he hails from, over Jammu, said Bijral, the spokesperson. He said Union govt. under PM Narinder Modi regards the state and not Kashmir as crown of Bharat and in unmistakable terms is set to bring the far neglected state at par with other 28 states of country and allotment of AIMS to Kashmir in first instance is a proof enough. Bijral the former senior cop said Omar’s twitter rhetoric, apparently for love of  valley, is in fact an attempt to salvage fast the political space he has lost in Jammu and shrinking of same in Kashmir is staring his party in face. National Conference party that once called strokes in J&K politics with 57 seats won in 1996 assembly elections, gaining 17 seats over 40 won in election before, finds its no. dwindling from 28 in 2002 & 2008 to finally 15 in 2014 elections. The electorates in valley found alternate in PDP, and BJP in Jammu. With coalition govt. of BJP and PDP set to give stable welfare oriented governance, NC and its coalition ally INC find themselves in unimaginably worrisome situation. That’s why, Bijral said, that Omar Abdullah, working president of NC, is playing its master though risky stroke of embracing Kashmir over Jammu to check its further obliteration at hands of PDP, seeing Jammu already swept by BJP. Omar Abdullah’s allegation that CM Mehbooba Mufti has sold her political agenda to remain in power, selling off her soul is nothing but political gimmickry. Bijral said Mehbooba Mufti like her late father Mufti Mohd. Syed is committed for over all development of state as one unit like any other capable leader would like to do. He hoped that BJP /PDP coalition govt shall not get distracted by these barbs of leaders who have all their time to hog media light, and would work steadfastly to meet the aspirations of the electorates that voted them to power.

BJP State Vice-President Mamta Singh, during her scheduled weekly sitting at party headquarter, listened to the problems of the people from Jammu city as well as adjoining areas and assured to help them in solving the same. A large number of women also called on her.

Mamta Singh, while giving patience hearings to the people, said that although the BJP has been in the government for the last one and half year but during this small period record number of developmental activities have been undertaken and many welfare schemes stand launched in Jammu and Kashmir under this coalition. She said that the BJP led government at the center has launched exclusive schemes for different sections, the same pattern has been adopted in the state and whatever the government starts new is formulated keeping in view the needs of the youth, women, down-troddens, farmers, ex-servicemen etc.

Talking to women on this occasion, Mamta Singh said that almost half of the population of the country is of women and they have important role as builder of nation’s destiny. It is also indeed a matter of pride for them that Narendra Modi government has realized the need of their economics and social empowerment.  One after the other milestone decision has been taken by the government at the center and an era of progress and prosperity in the lives of Indian women has started.

“The time has come when women cannot be kept confined to the kitchens as they have proved themselves, dynamic, vibrant and perfect in many fields”, said Mamta Singh and added that the empowerment of women by itself cannot place women on equal footing with men, the need of hour is the change of social attitudes towards women”. Many social evils, like dowry, illiteracy among women, infanticide of female child, elimination of girls foetus, are required to be fully rooted out. The crime against women are to be dealt with strongest hand though several measures.

Time not conducive to hold dialogue: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-Gupta

State BJP Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta, while reacting to the statements issued by the leaders of the State opposition parties in a meeting chaired by National Conference President, Dr. Farooq Abdullah asking for holding dialogue between India and Pakistan in order to resolve Jammu and Kashmir issue, said that numerous dialogues were held between the two countries before 1971 and after that but no solution could be reached and added that even Prime Minister, Narendra Modi made number of attempts to have a cordial relations with Pakistan and initiate dialogue with Pakistan to resolve the pending issues between the two countries but his attempts remained fruitless because of Pakistan inner politics, where writ of the army runs.

He said that BJP is also deeply concerned about the prevailing situation in the Valley, the hardships those Kashmiri are suffering and added that governments, both at the centre and the state level are putting their best possible efforts to bring normalcy and peace in the Valley. He asked the opposition leaders to address Pakistan asking it to stop waging proxy war against India by indulging in sponsoring and supporting terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. He said that prevailing situation in the Valley is not conducive for the dialogue when armies of both the countries are facing each other on the borders,  there is continuous provocations by Pakistan army by shelling heavy gun fires from across the borders and its intruders in Jammu and Kashmir creating dangerous situation through their terrorist activities. He expressed his deep anguish that none of the leaders of the opposition parties tried to reach the people to bring normalcy but instead, some of them tried to instigate the Kashmiri masses to deteriorate the situation.

Prof. Virender expressed his surprise that Dr. Farooq Abdullah refrained from commenting on Uri attack and that the opposition demand of holding dialogue between India and Pakistan coincides with that of Hurriyat, which also made the similar demand on the same day.

The Spokesperson appealed the opposition leaders to work in unison with the state and centre to restore peace in the Valley and start the process of interacting with the people to put them on the right track.

BJP hails government decision to give ex-gratia to all J&K martyrs’ kin

Brig. Anil GuptaThe decision of the BJP-PDP government to give ex-gratia to the families of the Army and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) personnel belonging to J&K who attain martyrdom in the State or outside has been hailed by the Bharatiya Janata Party. So far the State government gave only 5 lakh as ex-gratia to the kin of only those Army and CAPF personnel who were state subjects and attained martyrdom in J&K only. The families of those martyrs from the State who attained martyrdom elsewhere in the country were neither given cash or job. After the Uri terror attack there was a great public sentiment to give ex-gratia to all martyrs’ families. “In keeping with the public sentiments and commitment of the Bharatiya Janata Party to look after the soldiers and veterans the Party leadership decided to raise the issue with the government and  included  the demand of giving ex-gratia to all martyrs’ families even if they were martyred outside the State as well as provision of job on compassionate grounds. The issue was forcefully raised and pursued by Dr.Nirmal Singh, Deputy Chief Minister, with the Chief Minister who is also  the  Home Minister,” according to Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of the Party. Dr.Nirmal Singh successfully persuaded the Chief Minister after whose consent the government has agreed to give ex-gratia and job under SRO-43 to the next of kin on compassionate grounds to the families of all martyrs belonging to Army and CAPF hailing from the State who attain martyrdom anywhere in the country. The decision of the government will act as a great morale booster for all soldiers from J&K and their familieswho are serving in different parts of the country. Bharatiya Janata Party hopes and appeals to the government that these provisions be effective from retrospective effect. This act of the BJP-PDP government is a befitting reply to those who were trying to politicise the issue and casting aspersions on the government and our Party, summed up the Party Spokesperson.

Jammu and Kashmir State Bharatiya Janata Party has criticised the statement made by former Chief Minister of J&K Dr. Farooq Abdullah

Sunil Sethi

Jammu and Kashmir State  Bharatiya Janata Party has criticised the statement made by former Chief Minister of J&K Dr. Farooq Abdullah on need of talks with Pakistan for peace in region . Such like statements at this crucial juncture when India is engaged in fighting Pakistan backed militants and separatists, is highly objectionable and not in the Internet of nation .

 While making statement in press release, Chief Spokesperson of State BJP Sunil Sethi said that these type of statements appearing periodically which are meant to create confusion and uncertainty are unfortunate and objectionable. He said that by making these statements the interest of Separatists and Pakistan sponsored elements are being feeded .

  He further noted that while nationalistic forces are involved in countering onslaught of antinationals and Sepatists and are holding flag of country and nationalism high , makers of such statements are not standing with national mainstream and standing alone . These elements who have always taken benefits political or otherwise from the country are now trying to cross the line of nationalism.

 Chief Spokesperson also said that it is high time for the people of State to understand the real motives of these elements and expose them completely so that only persons and parties with nationalistic attributes are given the opportunity to serve people.  Public should show no tolerance to such persons electorally and should teach people lessons at appropriate times.

 He further said that it is high time that all citizens of J&K should stand with resolve of the central govt to tackle Pakistan and its supporters appropriately by showing no relaxation at the cost of national interest. He welcomed the hard deeps being talent by central government and armed forces and said that the policy being adopted now will now ensure lasting peace in the region.

unnamed-4

Fulfilling its resolve of providing financial assistance to the tune of rupees 5 lakh to each bereaved families of Subedar Karnail Singh of Shibuchak falling in Bishnah and Havaldar Ravi Pal of Saarba village of Samba Assembly Constituency, the State BJP leadership reached their native villages to handover individual cheques to the widows of these martyrs, who laid down their lives in Uri attack last month.

BJP State President & MLA Sat Sharma, Deputy Chief Minister Dr. Nirmal Singh, Lok Sabha MP Jugal Kishore Sharma, Minister of Industries & Commerce Chander Prakash Ganga, BJP State General Secretary (Organisation) Ashok Kaul, Samba MLA Dr. Davinder Manyal and Ex-MLA Ashwani Sharma, visited Shibuchak and Sarba villages to personally handover these cheques.

Sat Sharma, while expressing party’s sympathies with both the families said that the brave soldiers of army and para-military forces have been laying down their lives for the cause of motherland since 1947 but their sacrifices were never recognised in Jammu and Kashmir state. While the party on its own had passed a resolution in its working committee to provide rupees 5 lakh assistance to each family of the two jawans hailing from Jammu who lost their lives during Uri attack, it was stressing on the state government to provide ex-gratia compensation to these martyrs and the Deputy Chief Minister was following the same within the government and the same has been achieved.   

 Dr. Nirmal Singh, on these occasions, said that it has happened for the first time in the history of J&K that any government has honoured the sensitivity of its coalition partner, the BJP, and unanimously taken a cabinet decision to treat the martyrs of army and other central security forces at par with those of J&K Police and provide them ex-gratia of rupees 5 lakh and a job under SRO-43 to one of the member of the bereaved family. He said that although rupees 5 lakh cannot provide succor for long but a government job under SRO-43 will prove a lifelong assistance to the affected family.

Jugal Kishore Sharma, said that one of the major achievement of Narendra Modi led government is decision of rupees 5 lakh compensation to the civilians who lose their life as result of firing from across the border. How much concerned the Modi government has been towards the border people can be well judged from the fact that innovative and most beneficial schemes have been launched for the welfare and economic security of the farmers and border people.

Jammu gets IIM, set to become educational hub

cm-ggAfter inauguration of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), approval of setting up of an Indian Institute of Management(IIM) at Jammu has added another feather in Jammu’s cap. Despite a decades-long turmoil, Jammu and Kashmir has been keeping pace with education with gross enrolment figures higher than the national average.

BJP State President & MLA Sat Sharma (CA)’s two days tour of Border District Poonch

Making a fervent appeal to the border people of the state to remain vigilant and get united to fail Pakistan designs, BJP State President & MLA Sat Sharma said that Indian army and para-military forces are strong enough to give a befitting replay to the neighbour country on borders but it becomes the duty of the civilians to identity the internal elements and help to crush them so that peace and social tranquility is not disturbed. Sat Sharma was addressing the gathering of border people, along with State Secretary Dr. Narinder Singh and MLC Vibodh Gupta, during his two days visit to the border areas of Poonch district. Sat Sharma said that Pakistan has been creating problems in Jammu and Kashmir for decades and the worst affected have been the people living on borders. He said that the unprovoked firing and shelling from across the border causes loss of lives, property and livestock. Many times it compels the people to migrate from their native places. This time also border people from some areas have been displaced and accommodated at safer places. Sat Sharma said that BJP is deeply concerned for the safety and security of the border people and the local administration has been directed by the government at the centre and in the state to ensure that every kind of help is provided to these people. He assured the border people that their grievances are being regularly taken up with the central government and every effort is made for early return of border people to their homes and hearths. Dr. Narinder Singh said that Pakistan has never kept its promise of maintaining peace on borders while India made every effort to take lead in pursuing the neighbour country to act honestly but all in vain. He expressed hope that the normal life in border areas will soon start and people take on their day to day activites in a peaceful environment. Vibodh Gupta said that the border people can approach any leader of the party in their respective area in case of any emergency or non-cooperation from the administration. Accompanied by the local leaders of Poonch district, the BJP leaders visited Jhulass village to meet the displaced people, held meeting at Banpat village organised by Muslim Morcha, attended District Working Committee meeting of Poonch district with Sat Sharma delivering Presidential address.

Prof.-Virender-Gupta

BJP State Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta, welcomed the Union Cabinet decision of approving IIM for Jammu with its out-campus in Kashmir for which the academic session shall start from this year itself. He also hailed the decision of the Union Cabinet for approving Rs. 100 crore for the modernization of infrastructure in NIT–Srinagar and Rs. 50 crore project for seven hostels for girl students—three each in Jammu region and Kashmir valley and one in Leh.

Prof. Virender could not understand the unhappiness and resentment of Omar Abdullah, who remained as Chief Minister of the State and is Working President of the so called mainstream State party on approval of IIM for Jammu region and calling the decision of the centre government as “blatant partisan-politics”.

The Spokesperson said that Omar Abdullah should concentrate his energy on bringing normalcy in the valley and ensure smooth and regular functioning of NIT in the valley. He reminded that in the previous governments which were most of the period run by National Conference including Congress too, Jammu region had always remained at the receiving end. The people of the region were discriminated in all walks of life during the last about seven decades.

He said that earlier all the prestigious institutions of the state were established in the Valley and Jammu region was pushed to struggle to get its due. He quoted that Regional Engineering College, Medical College, Dental College, Artificial Limb Centre, Post Graduate Sher-e-Kashmir Institution of Medical Sciences, Agriculture University, Physical College of Education etc. were setup in Valley long ago and added that even the Central University and the AIIMS, which were approved for Jammu region, were shifted to Valley with political manipulation. People of Jammu region have to struggle for getting these institutions established in the region also.

Prof. Virender Gupta asked Davinder Singh Rana and other Jammu based National Conference leaders to console their leader, Omar and asked him to refrain from such type of outburst against Jammu.

Stop politicising the Armed Forces- look after them Brig Anil Gupta

anil

The entire nation is dismayed at the vocal slugfest going on between the political parties on the national media. The political discourse has reached its lowest ebb with the choice of language nothing less than deplorable. One had heard such phraseology and words at street level politics but expected much sober and mature terminology at the highest echelons of politics. Oratory is a skill and USP of a successful politician but it should never cross the ‘Laxman Rekha’ of morality and decency. In the yesteryears people eagerly awaited to listen to the national leaders and appreciated them for their vision and oratory skills. What has happened that has led to such dismal discourses that at times one wonders about the calibre of the modern day politicians. One possible cause could be a shift from “accommodative politics” of yesteryears to modern day “combative politics” with media acting as a force multiplier.

The Indian Armed Forces, Army in particular, are being unnecessarily being dragged into this political one-upmanship. At the eye of the storm is the successful ‘surgical strike’ carried out by the Army on the intervening night of 28th -29th September that shook the Pakistani Deep State and world-wide changed the image of India from being a ‘Soft State’ to a nation ready to fight terrorism and its perpetrators employing all elements of national power of which ‘political will’ is most critical. While the nation is celebrating and feeling proud of its Army, a few politicians have questioned the veracity of these strikes and demanded evidence, the line being towed by the Deep State. At times, one wonders if they are bidding at the behest of inimical forces! But they do not realise the harm they are doing to the morale and professional ethos of the Army. In order to score political brownies over the issue of ‘surgical strike’ they are doing irreparable damage by dragging Army in order to meet their political ends. The Army has successfully executed the assigned task and should be left free to train and prepare for the next task.  At this stage one may not be very certain of the magnitude of the next task, but being a thoroughly professional organisation the Army would be busy preparing itself for any task that the nation may assign to it.

By trying to leverage Army’s successful counter terror operation to uplift their electoral fortunes the political class is doing a grave harm to our national interest of keeping the Armed Forces ‘apolitical’. It goes to the credit of the Indian Armed Forces that despite their counterparts in all the neighbouring countries in South Asia, at some time or the other attempted to overthrow the democratic governments through military coups, they have remained loyal to the Constitution of India and the government of the day. Their contribution to nation building is unquestionable. The Army is proud of being ‘apolitical’ and abhors being dragged into political controversies. The Army’s loyalty is to the nation and government of the day and not any political party. The Army has successfully responded to nation’s call on numerous occasions since independence in different domains ranging from war, counter insurgency, internal security, counter terrorism, proxy war, counter infiltration, out of area operations (Sri Lanka and Maldives), operations other than war (OOW), United Nations Peacekeeping Operations, disaster management and aid to civil authorities. It is rightly referred to as ‘last bastion’ of national security, when all other elements raise their hand the Army is called in. The military’s efficiency and professionalism flows out of it being “apolitical”. It is a national asset and do not downgrade it by politicising it or its achievements.

The Armed Forces do not wish to become “poster boys” on huge bill boards and neither do they need unnecessary publicity. The military is a silent force, desires to be left alone in order to prepare for the ultimate. Rather than playing politics over the military all political parties must concentrate to ensure its ‘capacity’ and ‘capability’ building so that the nation is assured. In a matured democracy, the ongoing vocal slugfest would have been replaced by learned and informed debates about the preparedness of the Armed Forces to meet any type of threat ranging from nuclear to hybrid warfare. Alas, our politicians are not bothered about that but only about their immediate political interests. No politician or political party has ever tried to gauge the morale of the armed forces personnel. Remember, it is the man behind the gun which matters in the ultimate analysis. No amount of modern gadgetry or sophisticated weaponry can be a substitute for a soldier’s morale. Dear politicians, the armed forces do not need your political bickering but they need your understanding and support to safeguard their ‘izzat’ and status. ‘Izzat’ to a soldier is like divine nectar or elixir and he can go to any extent to safeguard it.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”, goes an old saying. It is time to recall what Chanakya had written to the all-powerful King of Magadha on the matters of defence. “The soldier does not enrich the Royal treasuries nor fills the Royal granaries. He does not carry out trade and commerce nor produce scholars, litterateurs, artisans, sculptors, architects, artistes, craftsmen, doctors and administrators. He does not build roads and ramparts nor dig wells and reservoirs. He does not do any of these directly. The soldier only and merely ensures the tax, tribute and revenue collectors travel forth and return safely; that the farmer tills, harvests, stores and markets his produce unafraid of pillage; that the trader, merchant and financier function and travel across the length and breadth of the realm unmolested, that ...Patliputra reposes each night in peaceful comfort, O King, secure in the belief that the distant borders of Magadha are inviolate and secure, thanks only to the Mauryan Army standing vigil with naked swords and eyes peeled for action, day and night, in weather fair and foul, all eight praharas, quiet unmindful of personal discomfort and hardship, all through the year, year after year. While the citizenry of the state contributes to see that the state prospers and flourishes, the soldier guarantees it continues to EXIST as a State! To this man, O Rajadhiraja, you owe a debt: please therefore, see to it, on your own, that the soldier continuously gets his dues in every form and respect, be they his needs or his wants for he is not likely to ask for them himself.” He also warned the King, “The day the soldier has to demand his dues will be a sad day for Magadha for then, on that day, you will have lost all moral sanction to be the King!”

The successive governments since Nehru have been responsible for systematic down gradation and deprivation of the Indian armed Forces. A lot has been written on the subject in the media and need not be repeated. What needs to be highlighted is the ongoing resentment that is brewing in the Armed Forces due to further deprivation due to the recommendations of the 7th CPC. It is a fact not to be ignored that the Armed Forces have yet to implement the recommendations of the 7th CPC while rest of the nation has done. The bottom line is that those who decide the pay, perks and allowances of the armed forces personnel have no clue about their peculiar service conditions and environment in which they operate. And those who have the requisite knowledge and experience are not involved in decision making. The Indian Armed Forces are faced with the challenges from ongoing societal changes in the country. The recruitment base in the army has shifted from rural, illiterate, and traditional to urban, educated and broad-based. The soldier today is more aware, demanding and comparative. He questions his entitlements and compares with others including the service conditions. The beauty of the Indian soldier is that despite the treatment meted to him by the nation he is ever willing to make the supreme sacrifice for the ‘izzat’ of his nation. In order to sensitise the readers a few instances of the down gradation and deprivation of the Armed Forces are being highlighted consequent to acceptance of 7th CPC recommendations.

The disability pension for the members of the armed forces has been reversed from the current percentage based system to slab based system only for them implying their civilian counterparts will continue to get percentage based disability pension. It is for the readers to judge whose service conditions are more injury prone a soldier or a civilian? Then why should a civilian get more disability pension compared to a soldier? A soldier is compulsorily retired early in organisational interest at an average age of 40 years while his civilian counterpart serves for 60 years. In order to cater for this discrepancy earlier a soldier was compensated by adding a ‘weightage’ to his service so that he is compensated for his less service at the time of retirement. 7th CPC has done away with the ‘weightage’ system leading to great pensionary losses for soldiers only. The armed forces are known for its strict pyramidal hierarchal structure of promotions. Only 2% officers attain the ‘general’ ranks. While it is different in the civil services with no supersession’s. The civilian officers enjoy what is known as non-functional upgrade (NFU) implying promotion to higher pay without actually performing the duty of that rank. This has resulted in skewed inter-se seniority between defence forces officers and their civilian counter parts in the organisations where they work together leading to functional crisis. The defence forces officers are being denied the same and has forced them to knock the doors of judiciary. The allowances recommended for a soldier serving in Siachen is much less compared to his counterpart serving in North East (cities and towns). These are only a few anomalies highlighted to sensitise the readers, there are many more. The political leadership in the country will do a yeoman’s service to the nation if they join together to ensure that the interests of the Armed Forces are not subverted and the India does not have to repent ever for ignoring the warning of Chanyakya.

Women are grateful to Modi government: Rajni Sethi

women-are-grateful-to-modi-government

Stating that the present government at the Centre under Narendra Modi has launched a number of welfare schemes for the women in the country, BJP State Vice-President Rajni Sethi said that the women are grateful to Modi government for the concern shown in this regard.

Rajni Sethi, alongwith BJP State Secretary Anuradha Chark, was interacting with the gathering of women drawn from different areas of Jammu, who had reached party office during the public darbar to take up their grievances and problems and sought help in getting the same resolved.

Rajni Sethi said that both BJP and its government at the centre have displayed their concern for the welfare and social upliftment of the women. “While BJP has granted thirty three percent reservation to women in its organizational set up and made its stand clear that they should be given representation in decision making bodies like Parliament and Assemblies, BJP-led NDA government has shown its commitment by launching a number of welfare schemes exclusively for the benefit of the women”, Rajni said and added that Beti Bachao Beti Padao, Ujawala Yojana, Sukanya Smridhi Yojana are some of the most innovative, effective and welfare oriented programmes of the government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Rajni Sethi further said that the BJP coalition in Jammu and Kashmir too has launched Ladli Beti and Marriage Assistance Scheme to help the poor girl besides hiking the widow pension, which proves the commitment for the welfare, social and economic upliftment of the women. She expressed hope that the genuinely deserving women will get the benefits of the schemes.

Opposition leaders resorting to falsehood to mislead border resident: BJP

Brig. Anil GuptaIn a statement issued at the Party headquarters today, Bharatiya Janata Party has strongly castigated various opposition leaders, who during their visits to the migrant camps in the recent past have been misleading the border residents with statements like “they have been deceived by the BJP.” Nothing can be far from truth than such false and irresponsible statements by these opposition leaders, retorted Brig Anil Gupta, Spokesperson of the Party, while releasing the press note. Bharatiya Janata Party unlike the other parties does not believe in false promises and has a mechanism in place to monitor fulfillment of promises made to the public. The press note contains point by point rebuttal of the false allegations made by the opposition leaders and gives out the facts. As far as the issue of construction of bunkers is concerned, phase one of the project has already commenced and Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Government of India (GOI) has already released 20 crore for construction of sixty bunkers. District administration, Jammu, is fully involved in the project. The project has been temporarily suspended by the administration due to certain technical difficulties like low water level, which is being resolved through re-sitting of the bunkers. Prime Minister Modi is taking personal interest in the Project and is given regular update by the MOS (PMO) Dr. Jitendra Singh. As far as allotment of 5 marla plots is concerned, Brig Gupta ridiculed the statement of a NC leader that then National Conference government headed by Omar Abdullah had recommended to the GOI to allot 5 to 6 marlas of land to each family living along the border. “The NC leader needs to know that land is to be allotted by the State Government and not by GOI, he is simply telling lies to earn the sympathy of the people, lamented Brig Gupta. The factual position is that 80 kanal of land had been allotted by the government in Hiranagar tehsil during the tenure of Shahid Iqbal, then DC Kathua. However, the security forces had raised an objection on the grounds of security of the border belt and the issue is pending since then. The security forces are not in favour of allotment of plots that may lead to migration from border areas creating security problem. Bharatiya Janata Party has even taken the initiative of constructing state of the art 3 in 1 toilets in the border belt to mitigate the problem faced by the women folk. 1140 toilets are being built in phase one out of which more than hundred have already been completed in the border villages of Hiranagar. The excreta from these toilets is to be recycled to produce natural manure and bio-gas thus benefitting the local farmers and households. The fact is that these toilets are being built at the initiative of local BJP M.P. Dr. Jitendra Singh, without a single penny being spent from the state or central exchequer. Brig Gupta also highlighted that the BJP government has already introduced a special insurance scheme for the border residents. They would also be provided same benefits for losses during cross border firing as is available to the residents of LOC.

Let elders counsel misled youth of valley: BJP

Balbir SinghThe state unit of BJP is extremely concerned since day one about the unrest in Kashmir and wishes that peace and normalcy return as early as possible so that the life becomes normal and common working class people get rid of the hardships faced by them. The BJP appeals the elders in the valley to initiate counselling and educate the misled youth about the harms caused to the valley, its economy and their studies by continuing and indulging in agitational activities. This was stated by BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, while criticising the separatists for exploiting the young boys in Kashmir by provoking them to indulge in stone pelting on police and security forces, who are performing their duties to help administration in maintaining law and order. He said that the present situation is helping only the cause of Pakistan, which has no concern or feeling for the sufferings of the common people of the valley. Balbir Ram Rattan said that the elders of the valley should realize that a very miniscule number of saboteurs are provoking and prodding the impressionable young teenagers to indulge in stone throwing and thereby hold the entire valley to ransom and bring life to standstill. The working labour class, daily wagers, artisans and small traders are suffering enormously on account of dislocation caused by the continuous closures. The fruit season is also at its peak and a long shadow has been cast on it by the stone pelting activities. This stone pelting must stop immediately otherwise the economy of the valley will further suffer tremendous loss. As responsible citizens also, it becomes the duty of the valley intellectuals, opinion makers and senior citizens to educate the young boys to not to play in the hands of separatists and anti-national elements, who are using them as instruments to run their own shops, he said. “Let the shutters of the shops run by separatists and anti-national elements come down”, said Balbir and added that the separatists have to ensure that they gain some value of nuisance somewhat given their total marginalization in the valley’s political firmament since long. Let the people of the valley take initiative, rise to the occasion and prevail upon the youth to return to their classes and not to occupy streets.

He said if any one has any problem about the same, he can be made to understand that when there is no problem in celebrating Haryana Day etc what problem can be there in celebrating Accession Day of J&K on October 26. “Notwithstanding the special Constitutional position of the State, there is no harm in celebrating October 26 as Accession Day,” he added. “We have become more loyal than king and now time has come when we should come out of this psychological emancipation”, he said. He said it was the outcome of Maharaja's sincerity and faith in justice and humanity that during the partition when whole country was burning, Gandhi Ji saw a ray of hope in J&K. "The people who today also say that Mahatma Gandhi had seen a ray of hope in J&K must understand it was not because of their efforts but the credit for the same goes to former ruler as during his rule there was no communal tension in the State as his one of the manifestations was communal amity, he added. He regretted that the successive rulers ruined that ray of hope which Gandhi Ji had seen in J&K and "we are guilty for that." Dr Jitendra Singh said the greatest abuse of Maharaja's legacy is that we have abused the word secularism and this word is chosen by those only who misuse the religion." While referring it to present context he said today there is no clarity in heart whether Burhan Wani was a terrorist or not and the reply to this question comes in philosophical terms. The Union Minister regretted that today question mark is put on Army and nationalist forces by certain elements but they themselves never dare to call terrorist a terrorist. Dr Singh also dispelled the opinion that Hari Singh wanted J&K to remain independent State and said that there were only two options granted under Indian Independence Act to the princely States. They had to choose between India and Pakistan and there was no third opinion hence question of Maharaja choosing to remain independent did not arise." Giving full credit to Maharaja for accession of the State with Indian Union, Dr Singh said the present problem of J&K is not because of Hari Singh but those who succeeded him including former Prime Minister Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru. "Pt Nehru is also to blame for the same as he tried to make new experiments which could not succeed", he added. He regretted that even the son of Maharaja and senior Congress leader, Dr Karan Singh also said in Parliament that J&K has not merged with India and same is being repeated on twitter by former Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah. However after the surgical strikes, Omar has stopped writing on twitter, he added. Dr Singh said that merger option was for smaller States like Mysore, Hyderabad, Patiala etc to join the big States like Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Punjab and not for J&K which was a full fledged State. The Union Minister said that out of 2.25 lakh sq km area of undivided J&K which was during Maharaja's rule the present area of the State is not more than one lakh sq kms while rest is with Pakistan. He said the role of UNO has also become fractious as Pakistan did not remove its army from the portion forcibly occupied by it. Addressing the function, VC Central University HP, Dr Agnihotri regretted that whosoever wrote on Maharaja created confusion about him instead of removing the confusion. Maintaining that Maharaja was great votary of joining Indian Union that he opposed Sheikh and Nehru who favoured that 1846 treaty be made null and void to make J&K part of British India and if it would have happened the J&K would never have been part of India. If this policy would have succeeded, the Kashmir would have been part of Pakistan today, he added. He also said that Maharaja did not want to be independent saying that he had not received a single proof in this regard. He said Jammu University is duty bound to have an impartial research on Maharaja as controversies about him were created by those who wanted to save their skin. In his presidential address, VC Jammu University Prof R D Sharma said that during the Maharaja's rule, before it and after it J&K remained inclusive and maintained its secular character. In his welcome address, Prof Jigar Mohammed, HoD History termed Maharaja Hari Singh as the most leading ruler of the sub continent, who said the justice to all is my rule." Speaking on the occasion Ashtosh Batnagar, Director, J&K Study Centre said his organization is trying to study history of the State and conduct research and disseminate it to people. The vote of thanks was proposed by Dr Gautam Mengi, president J&K Study Centre. Earlier, talking to reporters, Dr Jitendra Singh said that Government is committed to welfare of border people and many steps were taken by the present Government in this regard. He said about 11,000 toilets will be constructed for women folk in border belt and the process was started from Hiranagar border. Out of them, one hundred toilets have been constructed so far. Besides, the work on concrete bunkers was also started from LoC area and it will cover the entire border belt to provide shelter to people during the border shelling. He said in addition to it, 80 kanals of land was identified for the border people in Hiranagar belt by the State Government on his insistence and persuasion so that five marlas of land can be provided to each family from border areas. The file is in Revenue Department which wanted to introduce some provisions in it that after the allotment of land to the people it may not become a security concern as no body will be ready to reside near border and settle in safer areas. The Government is discussing the modalities for the same and a decision can be taken soon as various options are being worked out in this regard, he added. Source : Daily Excelsior

Rahul Gandhi  a ray of hope for ‘dalals’: Bijral

SS Bijral

 ‘Dalals’ (the middlemen)! since buried and forgotten after takeover of country command by PM Narinder Modi, rejoice. Rahul Gandhi a ray of hope is there for you. What can one otherwise say when ‘dalals’, a foregone story, are being remembered by scion of Congress party.

Rahul Gandhi, scion of Congress party that thrived for six decades on middlemen (dalals) rung, alleging BJP in power was politicising surgical strikes as ‘khoon ki dalai’, serves only to assure a lease of life to ‘dalals’ his party nurtured as state policy for nourishment of both. S.S.Bijral former IGP and spokesperson of J&K BJP said Congress party led UPA allowed two terms from 2004 to 2014 to rule by electorate indulged in mass corruption, caring a hoot for country image (Common wealth Games scam), national security (Helicopter  scam), 2G spectrum scam, Coal Mines scam, etc pocketing huge funds clandestinely breached the trust of voters. The result was it had to lick dust and shown the door with sweeping mandate for PM Narinder Modi led BJP.

Bijral said the barb ‘khoon ki dalai’ of Rahul Gandhii was just to hog lime light which turned him, the poor politically, poorer. Rahul acknowledged A.K.Anthony as his ‘guru’ who as Defence Minister in UPA was startled seeing China’s development on Arunachal border and had exclaimed “Oh what a sophistication. We are zero”. Refraining to say anything himself Bijral quoted media reports : 1) Kerala Minister and AICC member T.H.Mustafa had called Rahul Gandhi a ‘joker’ in the wake of party humiliating defeat in 2014 Lok Sabha election. He  was suspended from party for six years; 2) Rahul Gandhi had told his party men  3 months before kerala Assembly elections that only the Congress can defeat itself in the state. Disastrous performance of party & UDF it headed proved him right.

 Bijral concluded the party and the govt. need to just ignore Rahul Gandhi barbs to deny him life he earns through our responses. Recalling what Winston Churchill then British PM and WWII hero had said, “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks,” he declared the dire need was  to stay focused on tougher challenges staring country in eyes, ignoring likes of Rahul Gandhi & others striving just to survive.

‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas’ is BJP’s ideal: BJP

Balbir Singh

The State BJP has strongly refuted the statement of Congress State President GM Mir, that “Sabka Ka Saath, Sabka Vikas” is merely a political slogan and has nothing in practical terms in the politics of Modi government. The statement of Mir amounts to deliberately turning blind eyes to the realities and is part of Congress’ negative political agenda and its frustration.

To put the record straight, BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan said that Narendra Modi led government, ever since it came to power in the Centre, has launched seventy welfare schemes till now which is record in itself. These schemes are targeted towards all the sections of the society, including youth, women, farmers, ex-servicemen, border residents, weaker sections etc, irrespective of their caste, colour or creed. The Congress leader must realize that the economic philosophy of the BJP is based on the principle of “Antodaya”, which aims at targeting the poorest of the poor, irrespective of the region or religion he or she may belong.

Balbir said taht infact, it has been the Congress, which misled and exploited the poor and weaker sections for decades to seek votes on hollow slogan of “Congress lao, Gareebi Hatao” whereas poor became poorer and problem of unemployment in youth became more acute during its rule.

How much poverty was elevated during the Congress rule can be well judged from the fact that poor people and farmers committed suicides due to crop failures and resultant hunger. Food grains would be allowed to rot in godowns but poor and needy did not have any right on them during the Congress rule.

On the other hand, Narendra Modi government has launched Mudra Bank, PM Fasal Bima Yojna, formulated for economic upliftment of poor & farmers. Similarly, Beti Bachoo Beti Padao has been launched to confer dignity on female child birth and spread literacy among them. Construction of toilets in girl schools and rural areas, Ujawala Yojna are the milestone initiatives aimed at social and economic care of woman folk revealing the Modi’s empathy and feeling for the female folk of the country. Digital India, Skill India are for the benefit of unemployed, unskilled youth, the spokesperson said.

Balbir further said that the demand of One Rank One Pension (OROP) which was kept on hanging for 40 years during the previous governments was fulfilled by Modi government. ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas’ may be a slogan for the Congress given its mind set of power being for enjoyment of perks and pelf but actually represents the ethos, ideal and dharma of the BJP. During Modi’s Prime Ministership the prestige and standing of the country has arisen phenomenally at International level. Not even a single scam or scandal has taken place during the two years rule of Narendra Modi government and contrary to it, two terms of UPA created history in scams and scandals. Corruption in corridors of power at Centre has been completely and firmly eliminated. This coupled with the schemes being launched and perused vigorously reveal the total commitment of BJP for the welfare of the country and its people and hence the slogan “Sabka Ka Saath, Sabka Vikas”.

nirmal-singhDeputy Chief Minister, Dr Nirmal Singh, Incharge Power and Development Department said  that the State has concurred to be a part of 24x7 ‘Power For All’ by 2019vision document of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Power Minister Piyush Goyal and will make all efforts to convert this vision into reality. He made these remarks while addressing the conference of Power Ministers at Badodra, Gujarat today. Goyal chaired the conference. The two-day conference of Power Ministers of all States of the country, which started this morning, will conclude tomorrow evening. “The State has electrified more than 98.3 per cent un-electrified villages until now while rest of them villages have been proposed to be covered under DDUGJY,’’ he said. Disclosing that Jammu and Kashmir has constituted State Energy Commission Fund for carrying out its energy conservation activities, Dr Singh lauded the support being extended by the Union Power Minister to the State for implementation of various programmes and schemes related to electricity. He said: “the overall development of Jammu and Kashmir is directly dependent on the electricity, based on power generation, transmission and distribution. Our objective is to revise all ageold royalty agreements, particularly free-power component and transfer of hydro power projects on mutually agreeable items’’. Asserting that in the absence of well-developed industrial sector, Jammu and Kashmir is mainly dependent on tourism and power sectors for generation of revenue, the Deputy Chief Minister said: “it is an accepted fact that given the water resources, J&K is bestowed with significant hydel potential, if exploited fully’’. However, he said, huge resources, technical expertise, congenial environment and faster clearance from various regulatory agencies like Central Electricity Authority, Central Water Commission, Geological Survey of India, Indus Water Commission and Ministry of Environment and Forests and Climate change are required. “These clearances are required to be made time bound through single window clearance at the Central Government level,’’ he said. Nirmal Singh called upon the Union Power Ministry to create National Hydro Power Fund for preparation of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for tapping hydro potential in a mission mode in Jammu and Kashmir. “All possible steps are being taken by the Power Ministry in the State to create an appropriate governance mechanism for periodic review and monitoring of power projects,’’ the Power Minister said. He assured the conference of Power Ministers that Jammu and Kashmir Government will spare no effort to convert the dream of 24x7 Power For All by 2019, seen by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Power Minister Piyush Goyal, into a reality.

Fencing to be strengthened in two phases Govt to seal 2300 kms IB with Pak, moots Border Security Grid

page1-35-253x300  In a major step aimed at completely sealing 2300 kilometers long International Boundary with Pakistan running across four States of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat, the Ministry of Home Affairs has reportedly given nod to a series of scientific measures-both as short and long term, to strengthen border fencing and plug the gaps. It has also decided to set up the Border Security Grid, which would be in addition to Anti-Infiltration and Anti-Militancy Grids that exist in Jammu and Kashmir. Decisions to this effect were taken in a meeting of four border States, which share International Boundary with Pakistan, held at Jaisalmer in Rajasthan today under the chairmanship of Home Minister Rajnath Singh. Chief Secretary BR Sharma and Director General of Police (DGP) K Rajendra Kumar represented Jammu and Kashmir in the meeting in the absence of Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, who holds charge of the Home Department. Sources told the Excelsior that Rajnath Singh chaired two meetings-first with Chief Ministers or their representatives and Home Ministers of four border States and senior officers followed by an exclusive meeting with top brass of BSF, which mans the International Border with Pakistan and senior representatives of the State Governments in which the border security, steps to prevent infiltration, border management and any threat from Pakistan side were discussed in detail. According to sources, the Home Ministry has decided to install second layer of border fencing along LoC and IB. Though the LoC fencing falls in the domain of the Defence Ministry, the latter has given its nod to the proposal as the Government of India wants to curb the infiltration from Pakistan at any cost. “Second layer of fencing would help in checking infiltration to quite an extent,'' sources said, adding apart from this, the Home Ministry has also mooted installation of radars, Close Circuit Television Sets fitted with high resolution and sophisticated cameras, laser walls and motion sensors. Disclosing that all these proposals figured during today's meeting Rajnath Singh and his deputy Kiren Rijiju had with Chief Ministers or their representatives from four border States and senior officers of BSF, police and civil administration, sources said the proposals were likely to be cleared by the Cabinet shortly after which their implementation process would start. These measures along the borders to curb infiltration by the militants, according to sources, were short term and in the long term the Centre proposed to completely seal entire 2300 kilometers International Boundary with Pakistan in all four States. They added that various proposals were under consideration for ``completely sealing'' the border with Pakistan including raising wall, which was mooted earlier. However, the legal routes of crossing and trade with Pakistan and PoK would be exempted from the purview of ``complete sealing'' of the borders, which included Poonch-Rawlakote and UriMuzaffarabad in Jammu and Kashmir, both falling along the LoC and Wagah border in Amritsar district of Punjab on the IB. Sources said the Government also proposed to set up a Border Security Grid for all four States, which would serve as major deterrent for infiltration and other “undesirable activities” on the border. The Home Ministry has invited suggestions from all stakeholders on setting up of the Border Security Grid including its composition. As the Border Security Grid was a new composition, the Government would be seeking suggestions and framing guidelines for it shortly. Rajnath has kept the target of December 2018 for complete sealing of the borders with Pakistan in all the four States. The Home Minister chaired meeting decided that all the projects like complete sealing of the borders, setting up of Border Security Grid and strengthening border fencing, both in short and long terms would be time bound and monitored by the Home Minister after every two to three months to expedite them and complete them at the earliest. Sources said for sealing the border, technology will also be used. "Like we have riverine and Sir Creek area in Gujarat, there we will make maximum use of technology for effective sealing of border,'' sources said. PTI adds from Jaisalmer: Rajnath Singh chaired the meeting attended by Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, Deputy Chief Minister of Punjab Sukhbir Singh Badal, Gujarat and Rajasthan's Home Ministers Pradeepsinh Jadeja and Gulab Chand Kataria respectively and Jammu and Kashmir Chief Secretary Brij Raj Sharma, an official said. Senior BSF officials were present at the meeting here which reviewed security arrangements on the border in the wake of tension between India and Pakistan after surgical strike by Army on terror camps across the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. Rajnath counselled that leaders must exercise restraint in their comments on security challenges before the country at a time when tension between India and Pakistan has increased. Singh said this without giving a directly reply to a volley of questions by reporters on the controversial remarks made by Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi yesterday on the sacrifice of soldiers. Gandhi had accused Centre of doing politics on the bodies of soldiers. "I do not wish to comment on that but when there is a big challenge before the nation, we should stand by our forces. At a time when tension between India and Pakistan is increasing, countrymen should trust the security and armed forces and stand by them. "People from all walks must exercise restraint. The country should support the forces," he said. The Home Minister was briefing reporters on the meeting he held in this desert town in Rajasthan with Chief Ministers of five States sharing border with Pakistan. Source:- Daily Excelsior

Defends taking orders from Nagpur instead of Islamabad Dr Jitendra lashes out at those questioning credentials of GoI, Army

page1-17-300x144Amidst raging controversy over authenticity of surgical strikes in PoK, Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh lashed out at those who questioned credentials of the Government at Centre or the Indian Army and appealed countrymen to rise unitedly against the challenge posed by Pakistan and its sympathizers within. "Those who question credentials of the Government at the Centre or the Indian Army, are precisely the leaders who do not have the guts to call a terrorist a terrorist, but they find the Army a soft target for their vicious campaign," he said while addressing a largely attended public rally. "If you ask them a pointed question whether Burhan Wani was a terrorist or not, they will avoid and evade the question and give some philosophical reply, but they have the cheek to question the patriotism of country's nationalist leadership," he regretted. In an apparent reference to India's new offensive defensive approach towards Pakistan and its sponsored terrorism on Indian soil, the Union Minister of State with Independent Charge of Northeast said that India believes in non-violence but even Mahatma Gandhi preached that non-violence was not a virtue of the meek or the week. "Therefore, our belief in non-violence should not be construed as cowardice or weakness and this has been established by Prime Minister Narendra Modi," he said. Lauding security forces Jawans who are guarding borders and exercising day-andnight vigil under most difficult circumstances, Dr Jitendra Singh said that this was a testing time for each one of us and we owe it to the nation, that regardless of our political affiliation or belief, we must unitedly rise to the challenge posed by Pakistan and its sympathizers within. In a hard hitting speech, Dr Jitendra Singh also lashed out at the opposition parties for their alleged provocative references to Sangh Parivar and other nationalist social organizations. "If somebody sarcastically taunts you by saying that you receive your orders from Nagpur (RSS Headquarters), you should politely reply back saying that we are proud to take orders from Nagpur and not from Islamabad or Pakistan as they do," he told the partymen. "Such leaders who make these sarcastic and provocative references are actually suffering from a deep sense of insecurity and seeking their political survival by keeping the separatist lobby and Pakistan in good humour through obsessive and childish references to RSS and Nagpur," he alleged. Hitting out at separatists, he said, each separatist leader should contribute at least one son from his family for socalled "Jihad" before inducing the innocent youth to take to violence and lose their lives. Describing Kishtwar as a glittering example of HinduMuslim unity and brotherhood, Dr Jitendra Singh said, the people of Kishtwar and the religious leaders from both Hindu and Muslim communities deserve to be congratulated for not succumbing to provocation for communal strife. The Union Minister, who represents Udhampur Doda Parliamentary constituency in the Lok Sabha, said that Kishtwar is going through a rapid phase of development and referred to a wide network of roads and power projects coming up in the region. He also listed the commitments fulfilled by him with regard to setting mobile towers en-route Machhail Yatra and sanctioning of Degree College for Padder. On the occasion, Dr Jitendra Singh announced two Community Halls from his MPLAD fund, one each for Kishtwar town and Inderwal. He also announced solar electrification at the cost of over Rs 50 lakh for village Bhattan adopted by him under Sansad Aadarsh Gram Yojana. State Health Minister Bali Bhagat also spoke on the occasion and announced the setting up of a Nursing College in Kishtwar. Minister of State for Transport (Independent Charge) Sunil Sharma gave a detailed account of over Rs 600 cr sanctioned for PMGSY roads in the region and thanked Dr Jitendra Singh for the follow-up and coordination provided by him for securing the Central Grants. BJP district president Akshay Kumar, Capt. Hukam Chand, Brij Mohan, Anil Parihar and others also spoke on the occasion. Later, Dr Jitendra Singh also convened a Consultative and Monitoring Meeting "Disha" which was attended by Deputy Commissioner Kishtwar and senior officers of administration and police.

BJP condems attack on Chenani MLA

14568121_1111008992314131_2491013741556736331_nThe State unit of BJP has taken A strong note of the incidents of attack on its MLAs and repeated attempts of harassment to party activists in different areas of Udhampur district by henchmen of a regional party, who has been obliterated while losing all of its seats to BJP in the last assembly elections. BJP State General Secretary Pawan Khajuria, while demanding a judicial probe into all the incidents of attacks on MLAs and party activists in Ramnagar and Chenani in particular, said that the role of the police in this regard has been altogether very irresponsible and biased. He said that the kind of politics being pursued by the frustrated and out of power party is provoking some people to target the BJP MLAs and its activists but the police has adopted a complete silence despite the fact that the matters have been brought into the notice from time to time. Mr Khajuria has sought a fact finding probe – Why Mr. Din Nath Bhagat was not provide adequate security cover yesterday when he had to visit accident-hit area of Barmeen? What punitive action should be against the district-level head of Police for such dereliction of duty? Pawan Khajuria further said that even the party MLA from Chenani Dina Nath Bhagat has not been provided adequate security despite his repeated requests of threat to his life. He said that the police should not become puppet in the hands of some leaders of a regional party but work in an impartial manner. He said that the party is going to raise the issue with the Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister. A few days before, a false an frivolous case had been registered against employee-sons of BJP Mandal pardhan from Basantgarh despite the fact they were not even present on the spot of occurrence and a Police contingent was also on spot which also testified that the sons of BJP leader were not there. Mr Khajuria also was vocal against district Police of Udhampur for not proceeding against the activists of the regional party who, some six months ago, had stopped and assaulted the vehicle of MLA Ramnagar and even tried to set it on fire. It seems that officers at thye top posted before elections have loyalties towards the bosses who had put them over there.

NC misleading people on RSS march in Doda: BJP

balbir-ramCriticising the National Conference (NC) for its misleading statement that “government was promoting RSS in sensitive region of Chenab Valley by permitting lathi-weilding Swayamsevaks to march on the streets of Doda”, BJP today said that the NC leaders, by such statements, are trying to communalize the situation in hilly region of erstwhile Doda district. “RSS is a social organization and has been carrying its activities throughout the state and other parts of the country right from 1925 with a view to unite the people and instill in them the spirit of nationalism”, BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan said this while reacting to the statement made by NC Provincial President, who has been the Advisor to former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, that the government was promoting RSS in Chenab Valley to disturb peace. Balbir said that RSS is world’s largest social organization which has a highly appreciable track record of serving humanity and coming forward to extend help in situations of war, peace, natural calamities in a peaceful way. The march of which NC leader is trying to make an issue is a routine exercise of RSS and has never created any law and order problem or disturbed the communal hormony rather it has been working to get more closer to the people and strengthen the patriotism, which is indeed a very noble work but opposition parties like NC cannot digest it. Hence, spreading lies against RSS is NC’s most unfortunate charge and reflective of frustration among the NC leaders as their party has lost ground in the state and they are struggling hard for political survival and making such statements which are highly condemnable and BJP out rightly rejects such attempts. Balbir further said that the people are well aware about the nationalist credentials of RSS and that there is no concept of Chenab Valley nor does it exists constitutionally or legally but the NC leader is misleading the people due to his party’s own political agenda. The BJP State Spokesperson advised the NC leaders to desists from making such statements which could result in disturbing the communal hormony and secular fabric in the state.

Surgical strike a means not an end : Bijral

SS Bijral

Surgical strike India carried out against terrorist training camps in Pak occupied Kasmir is too much in news for wrong reason. It was a means applied to devastate camps, and not an end itself.

Why is there hullabaloo over a striking accomplishment of valiant Indian army on Sept. 29 last, asked former IGP. Questioning its basis in Pak media denying Indian claim of deadly surgical strike struck, he said accustomed to lollipop handling by UPA regime,the baffled enemy is failing to comprehend what has happened. Asserting country had the fortune of being led by strong committed leadership, he said it was time it notched up favourably all smouldering issues with the hostile neighbour nurturing devious designs of religious propagation through boundary alterations.

Bijral BJP state spokesperson cautioned country about enemy trap to deflect our attention towards bogus issues, gain time for retaliation. He said the war hardened enemy, is time tested for no holds barred deception policy. Our end goal being regional peace and prosperity, we should be literally focussed on Machiavellian dictum: “Those who want peace, they should prepare for war”. Its first time, Bijral said the country led by PM Narinder Modi assiduously believes in Italian scholar mindset. Enemy designs are surely not to prevail.

Bijral said country is under no obligation to provide proof of action taken against enemy. It did what was required to be done. It would befittingly do to annihilate enemy when situation demands. When Arvind Kejrival salutes PM Narinder Modi for strikes undertaken, it speaks of his patriotism while his plea for affording evidence of strike to the enemy is his naivety.

Applauding Indian army known for its chivalry and devotion Bijral said earlier failings when ever and where ever were of the political leadership.He but felt ashamed of Congress leaders singing enemy song for proof of surgical strike inflicted by India on Sept 29, 2016 saying this party for power never hesitated in bartering away national interests.

Situation demands hard steps: Prof. Virender

Prof. Virender Gupta

State BJP Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta while responding to the statement of Omar Abdullah, the Working President of National Conference said that either Omar Abdullah does not understand the gravity of the situation that is being witnessed in the valley and Pakistan’s continuous efforts to push militants into the valley and its engagement in heavy shelling with mortars from across LoC to the different locations in Indian side, or he is deliberately trying to politicize the issue to grind his vested interests and indirectly helping the enemy across the border. He said that no innocent person is being harassed and no repression of common people is being conducted. He added that only those who are involved in criminal acts like attacking police stations, burning public property, disturbing peace and communally harmony and becoming instrument in the hand of enemy to spread terrorism are being punished as per the law of the land and said that these are handful of the people.

Prof. Virender Gupta said that common masses in the valley are being terrorized and are fed up by the so called imposed curfew by terrorists and by these elements. He reminded Omar Abdullah of the similar actions taken against such elements after 1996 and in 2010 when National Conference government was in power.

“After the crackdown on such element the situation in the valley has started improving and becoming normal”, he said and added that no country in the world tolerates such type of lawlessness and anti-national activities. He further said that Omar should look towards the happenings in gulf countries, in Pakistan and even in China where even the voice of dissent is not tolerated and those speaking against the atrocities committed by authorities or by a particular sect are being massacred mercilessly. “Even the so called democratic countries of West do not allow such type of activities posing challenge to the integrity of the country and punish severely those indulging in such acts”, Prof. Virender said. He advised Omar Abdullah either to help the government in bringing peace and normalcy in the valley or follow his father who in turmoil of 1990, left the state silently rather than politicizing the situation and returned back when normalcy was restored.

He said that the surgical strikes on launching pads in PoK has frustrated Pakistan and is indulging in unprovoked firing on Indian side which is being taken very seriously. “Although the government has asked the people living in villages touching border with Pakistan to move to safer places, there are many villages whose residents have displayed valour to stay and face the Pakistan”, Sat said and added that the border people have always served as a second line defence during all the wars which worked to boost the morale of the army and security forces.

It is an alliance for governance: Nirmal Singh

it-is-an-alliance-for-governance

Claiming that the BJP has not deviated from its agenda and core issues, Deputy Chief Minister Dr. Nirmal Singh said that both BJP and PDP has honoured the mandate of the people of Kashmir and Jammu and came together for governance. He was addressing the inaugural session of the Jammu District Working Committee on Thursday. It was organized under District President Baldev Singh Billawria.

Dr. Nirmal Singh said that the people of Jammu & Kashmir had voted overwhelming in favour of BJP and PDP respectively as they were fed up of the NC and Congress and brought in our coalition to fulfill their desire of good governance and corruption free administration.

Dr. Nirmal Singh said that Jammu city has always remained the epicenter of political activities since decades. “Right from 1947, Jammu city stands witness to historic agitations and developments and has the pride of being  birth place of great Dogra leaders like Pt.

Demand of proof of surgical strikes unjustified: Brig Anil Gupta

anil

Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of BJP and an Indian Army veteran, has strongly condemned the demand of certain self-seeking politicians led by Arvind Kejriwal that the proof of the surgical strikes carried out by the Indian Army on the intervening night of 28th /29th  September should be released in the public domain. Brig Gupta also out rightly rejected the ludicrous charges leveled by a few Congress spokespersons and leaders like Sanjay Nirupam and Digvijay Singh. He urged the Congress leadership to rein in such loose cannons because they have not only questioned the veracity of the strikes they have also tried to damage the morale of the Armed Forces and hurt the pride of all patriotic Indians. These politicians are ignorant of national security matters and raise issues at the behest of inimical agencies with the purported aim of embarrassing the government but this time they have crossed the Laxman Rekha by involving the valiant Indian Army lamented Brig Gupta. “Having served the Indian Army for 37 years, I did not imagine such a scenario in the wildest of my dreams wherein for their own narrow political ends a few Indian politicians will cast aspersions and question the professional integrity of the Army that had time and again responded brilliantly to the nation’s call.”

Explaining as to why the videos should not be released, Brig Gupta said, “The nation’s response to Uri is not yet over, it is a continuous operation. The enemy is looking for clues and inputs to analyse the surgical strikes. Why should we assist the enemy by providing valuable inputs through release of the videos? These videos are recorded through drones/satellites for carrying out ‘post - strike damage assessment’ and contain valuable information. Moreover, we would be endangering the lives of valiant officers and soldiers who participated in the operations by exposing their identity. The release of videos would only assist the enemy and will not satiate the ‘Doubting Thomases’ within.”  These politicians need to understand that when any operational team goes behind the enemy lines in the dead of a dark night it only focuses on successful execution of the assigned task and safe return to its own territory. It does not indulge in photography, videography or selfies for self-glorification, retorted Brig Gupta. War fighting is a serious business and it seriousness should be understood by these few self-seeking politicians advised Brig Gupta.

Morale of border area people very high: Dr Jitendra

14560115_1106611692753861_648651671963729301_oUnion Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh said here today that despite the current tension prevailing along the borders, the morale of the people living in border areas is very high and even though the administration is making arrangements for their shifting to safer places, the residents of border villages say that they are ready to face any eventuality as long as it helps teach a lesson to Pakistan. He said, people in border areas have full faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi and are ready to throw their might behind the government under all circumstances. Addressing a public function at Phinter near here in the border district of Kathua, Dr Jitendra Singh invoked the spirit of Bapu on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti and said, non-violence is not a virtue of the meek or week and at the same time, non-violence does not imply succumbing to violence. Paying rich tributes to military and para-military personnel who lost their precious lives during the recent turmoil in Kashmir, Dr Jitendra Singh said, we can never repay for their sacrifice and the nation will remain eternally indebted to its martyred Javans. Dr Jitendra Singh pointed out that the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti today assumes special significance, because on this day, the entire nation is rededicating itself to “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan” marking country-wide cleanliness drive initiated on the call of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said, it is the sincerity of purpose, honesty and commitment of Narendra Modi, as a result of which, every section of society in every nook and corner of the country, is today inspired to join the cleanliness drive. Citing personal example, Dr Jitenrda Singh said, when Narendra Modi gave a call for building female toilets in his very first address to nation as Prime Minister from the ramparts of Red Fort on 15th August 2014, he was himself so inspired that he decided to take up a project to build 1200 toilets for villages along the International Border of Kathua district and it is a matter of satisfaction that over 100 such toilets are already complete by now. Dr Jitendra Singh said, it is also a providential coincidence that the Gandhi Jayanti this year is being observed at a time when just about one week ago, Prime Minister Narendra Modi formally inaugurated the birth centenary celebrations of Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyay at Kozhikode, Kerala on 25th September. He said, if Gandhi spoke of wiping away the last tear from the last eye of every Indian, it was Deen Dayal Upadhyay who gave it a conceptual shape by putting forward the idea of “Antyoday” which, in other words, means that the benefits of democracy should reach the last man in the last queue. Earlier, Dr Jitendra Singh inaugurated Vigyan Mela and Science Exhibition put up by school children and organized by Bharatiya Shiksha Samiti under the leadership of eminent social activist Pradip ji and his colleagues. He went around the stalls put up by students from different streams of science. Congratulating them for their aptitude for experimentation and innovation, he said, he will, in the times to come, not only provide more of scientific equipment for the schools, but would also arrange for students to travel to other parts of the country and visit certain prominent laboratories and Space Centres for further exposure. On the occasion, Dr Jitendra Singh donated computers with tables and other equipment for schools run in the region by Bharatiya Shiksha Samiti. He also announced that a tourist spot will be developed in the Mandi area out of funds from MPLAD and other sources. In addition, he announced the setting up of solar lights wherever required in the surrounding rural areas. In response to a popular demand he also offered to set up an upgraded Dental Section for medical management from his funds and resource

Ex Servicemen thank BJP govt for revision of pension of pre-7th CPC retirees: Brig Gupta

Brig. Anil Gupta

7th CPC in its report had recommended that the revised pension of Defence Forces personnel who retired prior to 01.01.2016 will be calculated by multiplying the pension fixed at the time of implementation of 6th CPC by 2.57. If the government would have accepted this recommendation of the 7th CPC, it would have negated the benefit of One Rank One Pension (OROP) announced by the Modi government. The NDA government under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi had conceded a four decade old demand of the ex-servicemen by announcing the grant of OROP that had been widely welcome by the majority of the ex-servicemen across the country. OROP was implemented wef 01 Jul 2014 which had resulted in huge financial benefit to all sections of ex-servicemen. However, the recommendation of the 7th CPC came as a rude shock to the veterans said Brig Anil Gupta, ex-state convener of the ex-servicemen cell and currently the State Spokesperson of BJP.

According to Brig Gupta he was approached by large number of veterans to approach the government to resolve this anomaly because the recommendation of the Pay Commission if accepted by the government would result in huge financial loss to the ex-servicemen and the widows including Veer Naris. “The matter was brought to the notice of party leadership both at the state and central level. Dr.Jitendra Singh MOS, PMO was also approached. He promptly took upon himself the responsibility to have it resolved with the government. Dr Singh referred the matter to the RakshaMantri Manohar Parrikar. Meanwhile, our state President Sat Sharma, CA and General Secretary (org) Ashok Kaul raised the issue with the national president Amit Shah Ji. The combined effort of all the leaders was successful in convincing the government about the retrograde effect of the 7th CPC recommendation. Prime Minister issued the orders for modifying the recommendation of the 7th CPC and accept the plea of the veterans to fix the revise pension by multiplying the pension as on 31.12.2015 by 2.57. With this decision the ex-servicemen will not be deprived of the benefits accrued due to OROP.”

So he got the values in his blood. His father and uncles were in jail at the time of his birth.

Ayodhya Gupta explained how he threw bomb in the Assembly to only scare the Britishers but not to kill anyone. His sole aim was to ready the country-men for the great cause.

Bhagat Singh struggled for the freedom of Mother India day and night throughout his life. He stood as a beacon of light for the fellow Indians in the time of distress. He gave the young population a new sense of valour and pride to do and die for the Nation. Even Mahatma Gandhi, Neta ji and other great leaders of the time admired his dedication for the cause.

K. Advani at New Delhi. The Speaker discussed several issues related to the development of J&K and the one related to the present security scenario in the state remained the main agenda of the meeting. Gupta briefed him regarding the present situation of Kashmir valley and the measures being taken by the state government to bring back normalcy in the state. The Speaker told him that barring few incidents of stone pelting, the situation is almost under control and the youths of the valley have also understood the mentality of the separatists’ leaders and their ill designs to destabilize the government. “These protests and demonstrations are the result of cumulative process and pent-up frustration which crystallizes around a single event and it not only effects the working of the government but also puts a break on the development of the state in general and the youths in particular”, Gupta said. The State has suffered a cumulative loss of Rs 10,000 crores in the last three months adding up Rs 120 crores with each passing day, “it is not the state government who suffers but the real sufferer is the common man related to the tourism, transport and other allied industries, he explained. Gupta said, the time is near where we will see a different Kashmir in the coming days, as this time it is the common man who has denounced violence and learned from their own mistakes and the life has started to come back to normalcy. South Kashmir’s, Anantnag district which witnessed lot of deaths and destruction in the three month long protests erupting after the killing of Hizubul commander, Burhan wani; is the best example of locals denouncing violence, where youths in thousands participated in the army’s recruitment rally and came forward for being the part of the main stream, Gupta informed. The former Deputy Prime Minister assured his cooperation to extend all possible support for the state of J&K and wished that the present BJP-PDP government will succeed in ending these decades’ old traditions of violence in the valley through agenda of alliance by inculcating the spirit of nationalism throughout the length and breadth of the state and the role of security forces to diminish violence is minimized during the present regime.

The BJP national president, Shri Amit Shah ji, today addressed the party national council in the dream city of Kozhikode, Kerala—an event that was dedicated to the memory of Pt Deendayal Upadhyaya. Speaking on the occasion, he urged the party workers to observe this centennial year of Upadhyaya ji’s birth as the Year of Welfare for the Poor. The BJP president said that this Calicut session was historic for every party worker who lived the ideology and ideals that the organization stood for. He said that this land of Lord Parashurama was like a pilgrimage for all workers, as this is where Pt Deendayal Upadhyaya had begun his journey as the president of Bharatiya Jana Sangh in 1967, transforming the political scenario of the country with his philosophy of uplift of the last man. He said that the Jana Sangh that had begun with a mere 11 members was today a party of over 11 crore members. He said that the journey from being a party in the opposition to being the ruling party, that from the Jana Sangh to the BJP and that from Calicut to Kozhikode has seen the contributions and sacrifices of several sages and selfless workers who worked with Dadhichi-like dedication devoting every ounce of their sweat and blood, and every moment of their time to the party — and that is why the BJP is today at the height of its glory. Shri Shah said that the BJP now had more than 325 MPs, more than 1,000 MLAs and governments in 13 States of the country including some that have coalition partners. He said that all these governments were dedicated to the welfare of the poor. Throwing light on the life of the epitome of simplicity, humility, knowledge and modesty, Pt Deendayal Upadhyaya, Shri Shah said that he was an amazing personality who was first an ordinary worker of the party and only then its leader. He said that Upadhyaya ji’s ideals of uplift of the last man and Integral Humanism would guide the country and the world for decades to come. He said that Integral Humanism and its eternal applicability are symbols of unison of human beings and nature, materialism, humanity and social harmony. The BJP governments at the Centre and the States are constantly working towards the realisation of Pt Deendayal Upadhyaya’s ideal of empowering the last man and bettering the economy of the poor, Shri Shah said. He said that welfare of the poor was the objective of all BJP and allied governments and the they are all working on this basis. BJP takes a pledge today to observe the centennial year of Pt Deendayal Upadhyaya’s birth as Year for Welfare of the Poor, Shri Shah said. He said that every citizen of the country today looked up to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji with hope, and he had shown how a government could work for the poor and uplift of their lot. Shri Shah said that not even the opposition could point a finger at the government and accuse it of corruption in the last two-and-a-half years of its tenure. The BJP has given to the country a government that is corruption-free, transparent and decisive — led by Shri Narendra Modi ji, he said. He said that the Prime Minister had made it clear in his very first speech in Parliament that this would be a government for the poor, Dalits, backward classes and the marginalised sections of society. He said that this government had, in its tenure so far, worked for the welfare of the poor, making the benefit of every scheme reach the last man in queue. He said that the BJP government initiated programmes like Start-Up India, Stand Up India, Skill India and Mudra to end unemployment and make the youth self-sufficient. He said that more than 3 crore 84 lakh youth have so far benefited from the Mudra scheme. He said that different insurance schemes were covering the poorest of the poor with social security net. He said that the government was turning the farmers prosperous through schemes like the Prime Minister Crop Insurance Scheme, Irrigation Scheme, Soil Health Card, neem-coated urea, easing of norms for compensation for crop loss and increase in the amount of compensation, E-Mandi, etc. He said that the Modi government had given as much importance to the development of villages as it had to the development of cities. He said that every village is now connected with well-constructed roads; all villages are being electrified and supplied with clean drinking water. Citing the example of the Ujjwala Scheme, Shri Shah said that the government, through its Pahal programme, has not only given free LPG connections to poor households — transferring the cylinders from roughly 1 crore -off citizens who responded positively to the “Give It Up” campaign — but also saved Rs 14,900 crore for the exchequer, which was earlier being siphoned off by the corrupt. With the money that was saved from the subsidy hitherto going to richer citizens, the government provided further gas connections to the poor instead of depositing the amount in the treasury, Shri Shah said. Overall, thus, more that 5 crore poor households have benefited from the scheme. Shri Shah said that, on an average, the Modi government initiated a scheme for development or welfare every 15 days. The BJP has laid emphasis on the politics of performance and its State governments have come to power time and again because of their performance, he said. He said that India was today scripting a new story of development on the canvas of the world. Today, he said, India was the fastest growing economy in the world. Shri Shah said that all BJP and allied governments were working well in the States. Talking of its government in Assam, he said that it was doing the promised work of identifying and deporting infiltrators. He said when Assam celebrated the Independence Day for three days and when its Chief Minister himself kept a vigil along the borders, it felt him with a sense of pride. He said that the BJP has undertaken quite a few projects for the expansion of the party, organization and spread of its ideology. He thanked the party workers for participating in the Tiranga Yatra to honour the brave martyrs by reliving their memories across the country, which filled the people with nationalistic fervour. Jammu & Kashmir is an integral part of India and no one can separate it from India. We are ready to talk to anybody for peace, provided that entity believes in the Indian Constitution, Shri Shah said. He added that there would be no talks with people who do not honour sanctity of the Constitution. Mentioning the incident of Uri where 18 of our brave soldiers laid down their lives, Shri Shah said that the BJP strongly condemned the cowardly attack sponsored by Pakistan. The party and all its workers stood in solidarity with the families of our soldiers and brave martyrs in this hour of grief, Shri Shah said, adding that the BJP had had a policy of “zero tolerance” towards terrorism right from its inception. “We will fight terrorism on all fronts decisively — there should be no doubt about that. Uri is not a consequence; it is an interregnum. Our war against terrorism is on, and we will emerge victorious in the war,” Shri Shah said. He said that in past year or so, the security forces have foiled as many as 17 attempts by terrorists to destabilise the country. The BJP president issued a separate statement on the Uri attack subsequently. Shri Shah said that the BJP was committed to the development of the Northeast. He said that the BJP, through the instrument of NEDA, has formed a separate council for the developmet of States in the region. He said that the BJP would certainly form the government in Manipur following the next election in the State. The BJP president said that the situation in Uttar Pradesh was worrisome. He said that the land of nobody in the State was safe; the province was reeling under corruption; women were being harassed and oppressed. However, he said, the credit for a pro-poor government at the Centre undoubtedly went to the people of Uttar Pradesh. Talking of the impending elections in five States, the BJP president said that the party was ready to form governments in Uttarakhand and Punjab along with Uttar Pradesh and Manipur. Stressing that the year 2017 was an important year for the BJP, Shri Shah said that this was the centennial year of births of Pt Deendayal Upadhyaya, Balasaheb Deoras and Nanaji Deshmukh. He said that the country would also commemorate Guru Gobind Singh this year. He said that on this day of 25 September, every BJP worker must vow to work for the welfare of the poor, development of the country and security of the nation. He said he believed that if more than 11 crore BJP members pledged themselves to the nation, India would certainly re-establish itself as the guide of the world. “We must ensure in the centennial year of Pt Deendayal Upadhyaya’s birth that every poor citizen of the country enjoys an equal right to improve his lot and nobody starves in the country - this will be a true tribute to Deendayal Upadhyaya ji,” Shri Shah said, adding that if there was one party in the country that could set its agenda, it was the BJP and that was an immense responsibility on its workers.

sanjay-baruThe work for construction of drain and fixing of tiles in Tirath Nagar locality of W.No. 40 in Talab Tillo was started by BJP State Secretary Sanjay Baru and Jammu West District President Ayodhya Gupta in presence of a large number of local residents.

GST beneficial to J&K, should be implemented: BJP

Brig. Anil GuptaGoods & Services Tax (GST) will replace all indirect taxes levied on goods & services by the Central & State Governments. It will be implemented concurrently in the entire country by the Central & state governments as CGST & SGST respectively. “With the road map of implementation of GST nearing its destination and likely to be effective from 01st April 2017 nationwide, the state of J&K needs to do a lot of spade work to ensure its timely implementation and not to be left out from its ambit,” according to Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of BJP. He further said that GST is a game changer and will give a major boost to the national economy. As per the experts the GST will be more beneficial to ‘consuming states’ viz a viz ‘supplying states’, “our state being primarily a ‘consuming state’ will be a major beneficiary of the new GST regime and gainer in revenue. On the contrary if J&K is the only state left out of its ambit there will be chaos and our trade, commerce and industry will be severely affected,” warned Brig Gupta. The constitutional concern raised by the J&K Finance Minister Haseeb  Drabu may be genuine but not insurmountable. The benefits of GST far outweigh its negatives and the concerns of those opposing GST are unfounded. In view of Art. 370, the GOI cannot enforce any law in the state of J&K without the approval or concurrence of the government of the state except in case of defence, communications and external affairs. But there have been numerous instances in the past where the Central Acts beneficial to the state have been adopted by the state after following the laid down constitutional procedure. Our state’s economy is very closely linked to the national economy and we cannot afford to be left behind especially at the time when the rest of the country is looking forward to the benefits of a booming economy argued the Spokesperson.  The argument that it would erode the state’s taxation autonomy is flawed, baseless and unfounded according to Brig Anil Gupta. Even at present the Central Excise Duty and CST are being levied by the central government in the state which will be merged with the CGST and the Sales ax being levied by the state would be termed SGST. The state government which is taxing only a few services now will be able to generate more revenue by taxing all services after the implementation of GST explained Brig Gupta. BJP is of the opinion that non-implementation of GST will be harmful for the state and the inter-state trade will be adversely affected. Industry in the state will be a major sufferer and future investments in the industrial sector in the state would cease leading to large scale unemployment and lack of jobs. BJP therefore demands removal of all hurdles and concurrent implementation of GST in the state with rest of the nation.

Rajesh Gupta while speaking on the ocassion said that the speech of the PM Modi has sent shivers down the spine of Pakistan. He said that Pakistan has been sponsoring terrorism in Kashmir valley for the last three decades and our valiant security forces have given innumerable sacrifices for the protection of our motherland. As a result of India's astute diplomacy the state of Pakistan stands completely exposed and isolated  before the world today. In case Pakistan does not mend its ways it would face further humiliation in the comity of nations.

People should neutralize the dictates of separatists: Aseem

Aseem GuptaBJP State Secretary, Aseem Gupta, while commenting on the recent report that the Tourism Sector in Kashmir has suffered a loss of around rupees 3,000 crore due to the ongoing unrest in the valley as there has been sharp decline in the visits of tourists, expressed serious concern over it and appealed the people of Kashmir to get united against those elements, the separatists, who are responsible for creating such situation and defeat their nefarious designs by extending support to the government in restoring peace and normalcy so that life comes on rails at the earliest. In a handout, Aseem Gupta said the economy of Kashmir is almost dependent on tourism and the livelihood of the maximum population of Valley is linked with the Tourism Sector in one way or the other, except a very small per cent among them of government employees, but unfortunately a handful of anti-Kashmir & pro-Pakistan elements, time and again, try to create disturbances for their personal survival while pushing the majority of the people towards poverty and starvation. Whatever these elements have been doing in the Valley on the dictates of their masters sitting across the border, is not for the welfare of the people of the Kashmir and they need to be made ineffective. Aseem Gupta said that the separatists have pushed the poor and daily earning people towards starvation in the Valley but why should they care as their one point agenda is to ensure that peace remains disturbed and normal life distressed. “It is the high time that people in Kashmir in particular, understand the game plan of the separatists and take a pledge to neutralize their dictates as it is must for creating such a situation when no one fears of coming to valley from outside nor the local people are afraid of earning their daily bread through their routine means of livelihood. “Number of these separatists is merely a dozen or two but the people who have been suffering due to their dictates and acts run into lakhs and hence a ‘CLEAR NO’ to their frequent calls of shut downs and observing bandhs can prove to be the most effective way to defeat them”, he said and added that it is the need of the hour now as the people in valley have been suffering for decades and cannot be made to suffer any more.

*J&K govt will support Centre’s decision on Indus Waters Treaty:Dr Nirmal Singh*

Nirmal SinghJ&K Dy CM With the Centre hinting at revising the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan, Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Dr Nirmal Singh said the State will fully support whatever decision is taken by the Union government on the 1960 agreement. The treaty has caused huge loss to Jammu and Kashmir as the people of the state cannot fully utilise the waters of various rivers, particularly Chenab in Jammu, for agricultural and other activities, Singh, who is in the city to attend the BJP National Council, said. The State government will support whatever decision is taken by the central government on Indus Waters Treaty, he said. The people of Jammu and Kashmir were already raising the issue of loss to the State on account of Indus Waters Treaty. If the central government takes any decision in this regard, the state government will definitely support it, he said. We will support any move which will benefit the people of the State and any step that puts Pakistan under pressure, Singh said. India had earlier this week made it clear that “mutual trust and cooperation” was important for such a treaty to work. The assertion came amid calls that the government should scrap the water distribution pact to mount pressure on Pakistan in the aftermath of the Uri terror attack. It cannot be a one-sided affair, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Vikas Swarup had said when asked if the government will rethink on the Indus Waters Treaty given the growing strain between the two countries. Singh also hit out at Pakistan for its failure to honour its agreements with India, particularly the Simla Agreement signed in 1972. There is the Simla Agreement which Pakistan does not honour, there is Lahore declaration between the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and the then President of Pakistan General Parvez Musharraf in which it was agreed upon that Pakistan will not use its land under its occupation to be used for sponsoring, aiding and abetting terrorism against India. They do not honour this and instead are violating the declaration by sponsoring terrorism, the BJP leader said. If they can violate such agreements and declarations why should we honour such treaties...They want India to honour this treaty on the basis of it being an International treaty. This cannot go for a long. It is to be seen in totality, he said. Singh said Pakistan was sending terrorists to create disorder in the Kashmir Valley but does not understand that terrorism will affect it more. Pakistan does not understand that terrorism, which it sponsors, will ultimately affect it more. The country will not be able to keep itself united...We will expose the terror outfits in PoK, he said. On the unrest in Kashmir, he said normalcy was returning to the State and the central and State governments were taking all steps to restore peace. The situation is under control now. Pakistan is directly sending terrorists and its people to Jammu and Kashmir to create disorder, he said.

Don’t play politics with the martyrs’ families: Brig Gupta

Brig. Anil GuptaBrig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party, while appreciating the visit of senior Congress leaders to Uri martyrs’ families has advised them to refrain from playing politics by shedding crocodile tears on the issue of additional ex-gratia amount to the families by the state government and blaming BJP for paying only lip sympathy to the martyrs’ families. “I would like to remind these senior leaders of Congress who were ministers in the then government when a similar fidayeen attack took place at Sunjuwan military station in Jammu in 2001 just after Operation Prakaram. In that incident more than 20 brave Dogra soldiers attained martyrdom. Almost half of them belonged to Jammu province. Why they remained silent at that time and did not pay their families additional ex-gratia amounts in lakhs over and above their entitlement? What happened to their conscious then, where were their so called sympathies with the bereaved families and why are they shedding crocodile tears now,” lamented Brig Gupta. Even after that during their second tenure in government many soldiers from Jammu attained martyrdom fighting terrorists but these leaders never thought of giving enhanced ex-gratia payments to their families. In fact, on numerous occasions they even did not visit the bereaved families. Just because they have been rejected by the people for their high headedness and unfriendly attitude and they are struggling for their political survival, they are now playing with the sentiments of the already shattered families of the martyrs. If their concern is so genuine why doesn’t the Congress party pay them from the numerous Trusts being run by the Gandhi family, questioned Brig Gupta? The families need moral and psychological support to come to grip with the tragedy and not false sympathies, hollow slogans and political one-up ship. Brig Anil Gupta also expressed his serious concern about non-payment of annual annuity to the gallantry award winners of the state which is a routine thing and required to be paid in April every year. It has been learnt that Home Department has failed to budget for the amount which is a serious lapse since it is annual routine expenditure. BJP requests the CM who is also the Home Minister to order an inquiry and punish the defaulter so that such lapses which show disrespect to the gallant award winners from our state are not repeated in the future. She should also order immediate payment to avoid any further delay said Brig Gupta.

Maharaja Hari Singh will be remembered for JK’s social transformation: Dr Singh

Opposition has nothing constructive to do except criticizing govt: BJP

Balbir SinghLeaders indulging in negative politics, blind to good work BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan today said that opposition parties in J&K have nothing constructive to do nor they are left with any issues other than criticizing the governments both at the Centre and in the state. Responding to statements of Congress and NC almost on regular basis, he said that at a time when the opposition parties were expected to play a constructive role and offer to work in tandem with government to douse the flames of unrest in Kashmir, these parties are, instead, igniting and flaring the matters up in a manner where the arguments and contentions of the leaders of opposition appear ridiculous. This breast beating and chest thumping only for the sake of politics and attacking the government has left them exposed, the BJP leader said. It is most unfortunate that during the last over 65 days, when the Narendra Modi led government at the Centre and BJP coalition in Jammu & Kashmir are working round the clock to restore peace and normalcy in the state, the role of opposition parties has remained just indulging in negative politics, he said adding that State BJP terms it as display of unhealthy politics. Instead of being positive players, few leaders of Congress and NC worked to flare up the situation. Not even a single word of condemnation on stone pelting or mob attacks on security forces has been uttered by these parties, the BJP leader rued. Balbir Ram Rattan further said that after the recent attack in Uri, the entire world has taken a clear line against Pakistan, which is the outcome of Narendra Modi’s diplomatic efforts. The opposition parties should have felt convinced, if not hailed the measures but they seem to be bent upon opposing and criticizing every action and policy of the government, without analysing the significance of the same, the BJP spokesperson lamented. How much serious the Union government has been towards unrest in Kashmir is clear from the fact that Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh visited twice in a month in valley followed by visit of All Party Delegation and none other than the country’s PM holding All Party Meet at New Delhi, all to defuse the situation and restore normalcy in Kashmir. The approval for recruiting 10,000 youth of the state as SPOs is a move which shows that Modi government want to provide opportunity to the unemployed misguided youth of the state, Kashmir in particular, to stand on their own an earn livelihood in dignified manner, he observed while taking a dig at the baseless noises of opposition. Balbir further said that these parties and leaders are conveniently forgetting that it has happened for the first time when the state has got a number of prestigious technical and professional institutions, but neither NC nor Congress want to see it, leave aside hailing or appreciating the good works, development works carried out during the last two years of PDP-BJP government in the state.⁠⁠⁠⁠

Abrogation of Article 370 only solution for J&K: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaState BJP Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta said that as the situation in the valley is showing the sign of improvement, the political leadership of valley and those with vested interests, so called well wishers of the separatists started showing their colours. He added that when government decided to retaliate and reply Pakistan in its own terms after the Uri episode, NC leaders Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah, expressed their serious concern over the escalation of tension between India and Pakistan and its ramifications on peace and stability in the region. He raised the question on their silence when the valley was boiling due to Pakistan sponsored terrorist activities and the people were on streets raising anti-India, pro-Pak slogans and asking for Islamization of the valley. Prof. Virender also criticized them for again raising the boggy of political solution of Jammu and Kashmir and showing their concern about the absence of any meaningful political initiative. He said that it is not the time to initiate any process for the political solution as the situation has yet to become normal and added that any solution for Jammu and Kashmir would depend on the wishes of the majority of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and majority demands abrogation of Article 370 as because of this article some people with vested interests indulge in secessionist activities and support Pakistan’s game plan and disturb the peace and stability of the region. Prof. Virender also condemned the statement of Radha Kumar that “Present Unrest if comes to an end, can re-erupt anytime, if issues remain unaddressed” and asking for initiating dialogue with Hurriyat and JKLF leaders. He said that the recommendation of the interlocutors of which Radha Kumar was a member were aimed to placate the separatist elements and were against the interests of the country and added that in these recommendations justice was not done to the people of Jammu and Ladakh regions, to the minorities and the nationalist elements of the valley.

MLA RAINA LAID FOUNDATION OF SODHRA BRIDGE

On Thursday, BJP MLA from Nowshera Ravinder Raina laid the foundation of much awaited “Sodhra Bridge” at Sunderbani. This bridge is very important from Defense point of view and also for Civilians. This bridge connects the border roads with national highway and it was the long pending demand of this area for the construction of this bridge because during rainy season movement of defense vehicles & civil vehicles is not possible and common public and the military movement suffer badly. After winning the elections from Nowshera, Ravinder Raina repeatedly raised the issue of construction of Sodhra Bridge in J&K Assembly. Few days back, MLA Raina met with Union Defence Minister Sh.

PoK only outstanding issue: BJP to NC

Prof.-Virender-GuptaState BJP Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta ridiculed the statement of NC Chief Spokesperson Aga Syed Rahullah Mehndi proposing that New Delhi and Islamabad should engage in talks to deescalate the situation of hostility and war mongering and embark on a comprehensive political process to resolve all outstanding issues. He questioned the intelligence of the NC Spokesperson asking for holding of negotiations between India and Pakistan at this juncture when Pakistan by its state policy of promoting terrorism has gone to such an extent that it compelled the Indian government to take some positive steps to counter Pakistan aggression manned by proxy. He said that the role of NC through and through remained provocative and that of promoting terrorism in the valley. He added that NC leaders  never criticized the Pakistan for pushing terrorists from across the border into Indian territory and abetting and supporting the terrorism in the valley. The leaders of NC also joined the nefarious game plan of Pakistan and instead of appealing the people to restore peace in the valley, they instigated them in order to serve their political interests. The BJP Spokesperson said that for the present situation in the valley NC should have to blame itself and to some extent to its co-partner, Congress in the previous government. Prof. Virender added that the Tweets of its President, Omar Abdullah, on regular basis projected the terrorists as heroes and supported the stone pelters. Omar neither asked the Pakistan to keep restrain and for not aggravating  the situation in the valley nor asked the separatists to abandon the path of violence.   The present situation is the result of the proxy war initiated by Pakistan in Indian soil and the situation has reached to such an extent that there was no other alternative left for India to reply Pakistan in its own coin. The murder of 18 jawans with injuries caused to 22 soldiers has hurt the nation conscious and sentiments of all the sections of the countrymen that they expect the government of India to give befitting reply to the enemy. He reminded the NC Spokesperson that Jammu and Kashmir is the internal matter of India and the country would not tolerate if any other country pokes its nose in its internal matter. Prof. Virender said that the only territorial issue between India and Pakistan is the area of Jammu and Kashmir illegally occupied by Pakistan and that it has to vacate to resolve the issue.

Pakistan stands exposed before world: Prof Virender

Prof. Virender GuptaBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta, while expressing his serious concern and shock on fidayeens’ attack on army base at Uri in which 18 soldiers were killed and 22 wounded, expressed that Govt. of India should initiate multiprong strategy against Pakistan apart from giving befitting army response at the appropriate time at a place of Indian army’s choice. While elaborating, the Spokesperson said that the other options are Isolating Pakistan and getting enforced sanctions against it by International Community; Isolating it among the SAARC nations; excluding it from the list of preferred nations; exposing Pakistan before the world community and getting it declared as terrorist state; Exposing Pakistan for Human Rights violations in PoJK, including Gilgit, Baltistan and in Balochistan; snapping diplomatic ties with Pakistan and supporting the cause of Balochistan, North West Frontier and Sindh Province.
Prof. Virender appreciated that Govt. of India has taken serious note of the attack on Uri and made up its mind to start an hybrid strategy as pointed above. He said worldwide condemnation of the Pakistan sponsored fidayeens’ attack in Uri has isolated Pakistan and this event has provided an opportunity for India to be aggressive on Pakistan on all fronts. He said that this is a good signal that the UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, France, US, UK, China, Afganistan and Russia have condemned the terrorist attack and expressed their solidarity with India. He added that France has asked for decisive action against the terrorist groups, particularly Lashkar-e-Toiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad and Hizbul Mujahideen, whereas Russia stopped joint army exercise in PoK and also stopped exporting its fighter plans to Pakistan.

“Chenab Valley” nomenclature is misleading: BJP

Balbir SinghCommenting on the recent trends of describing some of the areas in Jammu through which Chenab river flows as “Chenab Valley”, the State BJP has made it clear that there is no region in Jammu province which can be geographically and justifiably described so. In a statement, BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan said that the districts through which Chenab river flows have different languages, dissimilar social customs and ways of life. No district’s physical features resemble that to the other districts. In fact, the dissimilarities of language, colour, social castes, etc. far exceed the differences found in rest of the state.
“Valley is an area which is flat and walled by mountains, while as the region through which Chenab flows is totally mountainous and does not possess any flat land and giving it a nomenclature of “Chenab Valley” is totally misleading and mis-descriptive”, said Balbir. On the contrary, Kashmir valley has homogeneous geographical, social and cultural characteristics with single language and constitutes small percentage of the total area of the state and cannot include other adjacent areas due to geographical and physical features. Similar is the case with Ladakh region, where only two local languages are used and Jammu province has also only one language in use. The use of the term “Chenab Valley” other than fostering a sense of separateness from the rest of the Jammu province, serves no other purpose, the Spokesperson elaborated adding that it only creates void and distance between the people. Also, there is no legal, constitutional or historical basis for coining this divisive nomenclature of a region, where language and way of life differ and vary even from one village to another adjacent village. Balbir Ram Rattan said it appears that some political parties and personalities are unmindful of the paramount requirement of avoiding use of such terms which, instead of strengthening the cohesion between the people of different languages and social mores, foster a sense of exclusivity and differentness. He appealed all the right thinking, secular people and political entities to refrain from using such mis-descriptive nomenclature.

Sham Choudhary briefs party about Rajouri situation

14322443_1096204903794540_1937238409941982037_nMinister of PHE, Irrigation & Flood Control, Sham Choudhary, who had been deputed by the party to visit Rajouri for personal assessment of the situation, shared first hand information with the BJP State President & MLA Sat Sharma (C.A), State General Secretary (Org.) Ashok Kaul, senior leader Ch. Talib Hussain and MLA Ravinder Raina, on his return to Jammu. Sham Choudhary, while briefing in details about the situation in Rajouri, told that some anti-social elements had provoked the people of Rajouri town, which resulted into tension, loss of properties and law & order problem there.
The Minister, who also had meetings with the people of all the communities and the local administration at Rajouri, further told that he succeeded in convincing the people to not get misled but stay united and within few hours, the shutters of shops were opened and normal life resumed, which itself displayed that none of the community in Rajouri want to create any problem but a handful of anti-social elements wanted to create hatred but their plans failed as the civil society and prominent people took lead in defusing the situation. Sham Choudhary had assured the people of every sort of help from the government and appealed them to maintain communal harmony. He said that a team under ADC has been constituted to assess the losses suffered by the people and the other team under ACR will keep eye on situation and work towards ensuring total peace and normalcy in the district. Sham Choudhary said that the people were of the common view that the elements behind this episode should be identified and booked under law. He also made a fervent appeal to the people of twin districts of Rajouri and Poonch to preserve the tradition of brotherhood and maintain harmony so that such incidents do not occur again.

14330090_1096035773811453_911248098528112096_nThe last rites of two valiant soldiers of 10 Dogra Regiment, Naib Subedar Karnail Singh and Havaldar Ravi Paul who attained martyrdom in a Fidayeen attack at Uri in North Kashmir district of Baramulla yesterday were performed with full military honours in their native places at village Shibu Chak in Bishnah tehsil of Jammu district and Sarwa, tehsil Ramgarh in Samba district today. Thousands of mourners from all walks of life including officers and jawans of Army and BSF, Ministers, leaders of various political parties, civil and police officers joined the funeral procession and gave a touching send off to the two sons of the soil who along with 18 jawans of Indian Army, attained martyrdom at Uri in Fidayeen attack yesterday. Both the villages were in total gloom as the bodies reached there by this afternoon with family members and relatives wailing and beating their chests while tears were seen rolling down from the eyes of everyone who was present there. The words failed to console the family members of two soldiers and every one present was in a state of shock and despair asking a single question that “how long the Government will remain a mute spectator to misadventures from across the border and when it will act to punish the enemy who has wrecked a havoc on us for years together.”? The sobbing mourners in both the processions were raising slogans that these soldiers will remain immortal till the existence of this universe. However, grief filled with anger was visible on their faces and every one wanted an answer that “how long such devastation and destruction will go on, how long more we have to bleed and how many more sacrifices of our valiant soldiers we have to give”? One of the mourners in the procession of Havaldar Ravi Paul at Sarwa hamlet said that “Dogras are great warriors and we have shown our mettle in various wars. Dogra soldiers feel proud for laying down their lives for the motherland in battle field but we are pained when someone attacks us in a cowardice way. It is high time for the Government to act and teach the enemy a lesson for its misadventures so that he should never dare to raise an eye towards us in future”, he added. Another mourner in procession said “we appeal to Prime Minister, Narendra Modi to turn his words into deeds as people of this State which has suffered a heavy loss during the 27 year long Pak sponsored terrorism are looking with high hopes towards him”. He asked if Pakistan can dare and make repeated attacks on our Army camps why can’t India attack the terrorist camps existing in PoK and Pakistan. Similar were the views of Vijay Kumar Saini, a relative of Naib Subedar Karnail Singh of Shibu Chak, Bishnah. While talking to this reporter, he said the Government should act now and give a befitting reply to Pakistan and teach a lesson to terrorists and their supporters. As the bodies of two soldiers reached their respective native villages the wreaths were laid on them by the Army officers, Ministers and other political leaders. The body of Havaldar Ravi Paul was taken into a procession from his house at village Sarwa to the cremation ground and thousands of mourners including men and women joined the procession where his last rites were performed with chanting of Vedic hymns and full military honours. His wife Geeta Rani also accompanied the procession and grief overwhelmed every one when 11 year old son of Ravi Paul, Vanshu lit the pyre. Industries Minister, Chander Parkash Ganga, senior Army officers, including Deputy Commandant V Santosh, Administrative Commandant R K Raman Krishna and Commander 26 Artillery, Brigade, Brigadier Arvind Yadav, IGP Jammu Danish Rana, DC Samba, Sheetal Nanda, SSP, Samba, Joginder Singh, MP Jugal Kishore Sharma, BJP State president, Sat Sharma, general secretary (Org) Ashok Kaul, N C senior leader and former Minister, S S Salathia, MLA Samba Dr Manyal, former Ministers, Manjit Singh and Yash Paul Kundal and Samparakh Parmukh of Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh Sanjeev Sharma attended the funeral procession.

Army asked to study all pros & cons

14368683_1096021910479506_3058508353857279254_nAfter 5 high-level meetings, PM, HM, DM discuss response to Pak The Union Government said today that it reserved the right to give “adequate response” at an “appropriate time” to Pakistan following deadliest strike by Pakistan backed four militants at Army Brigade Headquarters in Uri sector of Kashmir valley yesterday in which 18 soldiers were killed. Five high level security review meetings took place in the Union capital today including the one chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and attended by top political leadership of the country apart from officials of Home and Defence Ministries, Intelligence, Army and para-military officials. Official sources told the Excelsior that the Prime Minister, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley held a high level meeting with Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Nipendra Mishra, National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval, Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi, Defence Secretary G Mohan Kumar and Army chief Gen Dalbir Singh Suhag. The meeting came immediately after the Home Minister, the Defence Minister, Minister of State in Prime Minister's Office (PMO), Dr Jitendra Singh and top officials of Home and Defence Ministries, NSA, the Army chief, Intelligence Bureau (IB) chief Dineshwar Sharma met for more than one and a half hour to decide India's response to Uri attack. The meeting, according to sources, asked the Army chief to prepare comprehensive report on the kinds of response Army could give to Pakistan and what the hostile neighbour could do in that event. “The Army has been asked to study all pros and cons of the situation that could develop in the sub continent if India target militant training camps in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), carrying out strikes across the LoC and launching an offensive against the militants and their Over Ground Workers (OGWs), within Jammu and Kashmir and preparedness of the troops to meet with such attacks in future,'' sources said. They added that the Centre Government wanted to be sure that the Indian response to Pakistan was not only "appropriate and adequate'' but it was tackled efficiently in case of any retaliation from the neighbour or the militants within the State so that the people were not put to any kind of inconvenience anywhere. "Everything including surgical strikes in PoK, attack on the militant camps, Pakistan army posts, which were engaged in aiding infiltration of the militants and striking at the militant hideouts within Jammu and Kashmir offensively figured in the meeting that was chaired by the Home Minister,'' sources said, adding the Government didn't want to act in haste but would decide its action very coolly. In the meantime, the Government has asked Army to present all ``actionable evidence'' to Pakistan Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) during the DGMO level talks between the two countries, who speak on hotline every Tuesday. At the same time, sources said, Rajnath and Parrikar directed the Army and other security forces to ensure that any such attack in future was neutralized with minimum casualties for which the Army chief was asked to take all preemptive measures and convey them to the Commanders. Though the Army had killed all four militants within a couple of hours but by then they had managed to inflict 18 fatal casualties of the troops and left many others injured. The Home Minister, the Defence Minister and the MoS in PMO were briefed by top officials present in the meeting that there was enough evidence to nail Pakistan at the international forums. They decided that India will give entire evidence to Pakistan during the DGMO level talks. The evidence included Pakistan army made arms, ammunition and grenade launching gun, maps, Global Positioning System (GPS) and various eatables having marking of `Made in Pakistan'. "India will confront Pakistan with all evidence though it is a different matter that similar evidences were also given to the neighbour during January 2 Pakistan attack,'' sources said and added that the evidences will also be used to nail Pakistan at the United Nations, whose General Assembly is scheduled to meet in next few days, which will be addressed by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who didn't attend today's meetings called by the Prime Minister and the Home Minister. Sources said action will be taken only after proper planning, coordination, exploring all options and taking everyone concerned into confidence, sources said. They recalled that in the case of Myanmar last year, the Army carried out an operation along the border against NSCNK militants involved in the killing of 18 soldiers in Manipur in June, 2015 only after a week. "Here, we have a hostile Pakistani establishment. So any hasty action is completely ruled out," they said. Sources said after the meeting, the Home Minister, the Defence Minister and the Finance Minister besides the NSA, Home Secretary, Defence Secretary and the Army chief met the Prime Minister at his 7 RCR residence for about an hour in which all possibilities to retaliate Uri attack were discussed. The Principal Secretary to the PM was also present. Though no official statement was issued after the meeting, sources said the Prime Minister listened to all options discussed and debated in the earlier meeting chaired by the Home Minister. The Prime Minister is reported to have issued some directions during the meeting to the Ministers and top brass of the administration, sources said. Modi had yesterday declared that those responsible for despicable attack in Uri wouldn't go unpunished. Earlier in the morning, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, who had visited Kashmir yesterday along with Army chief Gen Dalbir Singh Suhag, met the Prime Minister and briefed him about Uri attack and security situation in the Valley especially along Line of Control (LoC) and the measures taken by the troops to thwart intrusion bids and Uri like attacks in future. Parrikar had been briefed by the Northern Army and Chinar Corps Commanders Lt Gen DS Hooda and Lt Gen Satish Dua respectively at Srinagar yesterday about the incident and the operation launched to neutralize the terrorists. The briefing included discussions on the soft points and how the terrorists managed to get in. Sources had said possible "action plan" was also discussed about how the Army can respond to the attack. Sources said the decision will be taken at a higher level on the kind of action to be taken but this would be highly confidential. Meanwhile, in the evening Parrikar had a meeting with NSA Ajit Doval, Defence Secretary G Mohan Kumar and Army chief Gen Dalbir Singh Suhag to discuss the kind of reaction by the Indian troops and steps to tighten security at all Army camps to prevent such kind of attacks in future. Earlier in the morning, the Home Minister had met the MHA officials including the Home Secretary and other Ministry officials Incharge of Jammu and Kashmir before holding high level security review. Meanwhile, MoS in PMO Dr Jitendra Singh in an interview to a national news channel, said Indian Army has set highest standards of human rights, which was evident from the fact that it has suffered equal number of casualties as the others. "Army have guns, but they don't shoot, Army have bombs, they don't hurl, Army has ammunition, they don't use it simply because they exercise self constraint so that no harm is caused to the innocent people,'' Dr Singh said adding the human right activists should realize that Indian Army is adhering to human rights while the militants and Pakistan were violating them. To a question on Pakistan, the Union Minister said the perpetrator of terrorism don't escape from it very long. "Involvement of Pakistan in terrorism hardly required any evidence. The world is accepting Indian view point that Pakistan is epicenter of terrorism,'' Dr Singh said. On action against Pakistan as retaliation to Uri attack, he said it would be decided keeping in view the aspirations of 1.2 billion people and taking interests of the country into account.

MLC Vibodh Gupta called upon the youth to get benefit of a special tourism package for J&K

Vibodh GuptaWhile referring to announcement of a special tourism package for J&K, BJP senior leader and MLC Vibodh Gupta called upon the youth to get benefit from such schemes instead of indulging in violence. He said that it is a matter of great pleasure that on the occasion of birthday of Hon’ble PM Sh. Narinder Bhai Modi, the state of Jammu & Kashmir has got a tourism development package worth Rs. 500 Crore. This grant to state has been sanctioned by the Central Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (CSMC) chaired by Union Tourism Secretary Vinod Zutshi. Under this package the Pir Panjal region specially Rajouri and Poonch districts have been sanctioned a grant of Rs. 99 crores. Vibodh informed that this grant will be used to develop world class tourism infrastructure in the Rajouri – Bafliyaz – Shopian – Pulwama tourism circuit. Referring to the recent incidence of violence in Rajouri MLC Vibodh said that the local people specially youth must understand the sincerity of the Government in developing our state into a model state. Such developmental projects can achieve their desired outcomes only when there is a sense of peace and harmony in the region. Today a handful of miscreants try to disturb peace of our region and thus bring bad name to our area and to the peace loving community of Pir Panjal. This he said has very serious implication on our tourism industry also. Therefore it becomes the moral responsibility of all the citizens to ensure peace so that over state can march ahead on the path of growth and development. He said that we need to draw lessons from various parts of the world that violence can only make us backward and will never allow our future generations in realizing their dreams. Vibodh called upon the youth of Rajouri and Poonch to maintain peace at all costs and to ensure implementation of such visionary tourism promotion programmes of Government. In the absence of peace no developmental project can see the light of the day. He further informed that this project in Rajouri and Poonch will focus on Development of Ethnic villages for tourism, tourism interpretation centers and has also a provision for providing ecofriendly vehicles for areas like Pir Ki Gali. He hoped that this project will create huge employment opportunities once it is properly implemented. MLC Vibodh thanked Hon’ble PM Sh. Narinder Modi for giving this wonderful gift to the people of J&K on his birthday. He also extended his warm wishes to Hon’ble PM on his birthday and prayed for his good health and long life.

“Karyakarta is the force of the organisation and he or she is the instrument to establish the party and face the challenges imposed by the adverse circumstances. A karyakarta is a person who has to face and resolve the problems of general masses at ground level and defeat the adversaries and anti-national forces. It should be remembered that the BJP has a long history of sacrifices for the cause of the nation and said as the karyakarta is face of the organisation and the organisation is known by him or her and hence each one of them have to behave cautiously in the public life and set good examples before the people.

Cong leaders need self retrospection: BJP

Balbir SinghThe one and half year outstanding governance of the first ever BJP coalition in Jammu and Kashmir state has pushed the Congress and other opposition parties to wall, as a result of which their leaders now being out of power, are left with no work as such and their routine life is confined to criticize the state government on one pretext or the other. This was stated by BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, while holding the Congress policies responsible for the present situation in the valley and underdevelopment of the state. Balbir Ram Rattan said that the Congress remained in power at the Centre for decades continuously as single largest party and similarly it was in chair in J&K on its own or as a coalition partner. “Whatever policies were framed during all these years under Congress rule are responsible for the prevailing situation that the nation is facing in the state”, Balbir said and added that Congress leaders in Jammu and Kashmir need self retrospection instead of making failed attempts to malign the image of the government. They should first come out with their achievements, when they were in power before leveling false charges against BJP or its coalition. Balbir Ram Rattan said that the Congress leaders in the state seem to be in a rat race while making statements, which are false and without valid authenticity. The BJP had gone to the people to seek votes on the promise of providing good governance, development and ending corruption. Similarly, Congress too had sought votes from the people on some promises but it could not convince them as they had tested it not once but many times. “After the formation of government, the coalition is working to fulfill its promises since day first and there has not been even a single case of corruption during one and half year and it is a major achievement”, Balbir said adding that various developmental activities have been initiated; there is complete transparency and accountability. The Congress leaders can neither see it nor digest that the BJP coalition is receiving appreciation from the public for its commitment to fulfill its promises. He advised the Congress leaders in J&K to play healthy and positive politics instead of making baseless allegations against the government.

Govt should deal strictly with separatists in Kashmir: Ramdev

14344680_1089095137838850_6006550785198941922_nThe Central Government should deal strictly with the separatists spreading unrest in Kashmir, yoga guru Baba Ramdev said today. “The Government should tighten its grip over the handful of separatists who are causing trouble in the (northern) state,” he said. Ninetynine per cent population in Kashmir is peace loving, but the remaining are creating trouble and they should be dealt with an iron hand, Ramdev told reporters here. The yoga guru, who led the campaign for bringing back black money two years ago, said there was a need for result oriented and more effective steps in this direction. On the overall performance of the Centre, Ramdev said the Narendra Modi-led Government was the best on three fronts namely internal and external security of the country, formulating new policy and its execution and bringing international prestige and place in the world.

Withdrawal of facilities to separatists long overdue: DM

14344108_1089091467839217_456381593473716876_nAmid reports that the Centre may scale down security cover of Kashmiri separatists and curtail various facilities enjoyed by them in view of the Valley unrest, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar today said withdrawal of such facilities was long overdue. "The facilities extended to Kashmiri separatists should have been withdrawn long time back," he said after attending a function here. The Defence Minister was in the city to present the FGI Excellence awards and attend a function organised at Siddhivinayak temple in Dandiya bazaar locality, where RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat presented a sacred thread made up of gold to the deity. Responding to a query by PTI whether separatists should continue enjoy the perks at the cost of exchequer, the Minister said, "There is a concern about separatists getting such facilities. I favour withdrawal of such facilities." His remarks came amid indications that the Centre may harden its attitude towards separatists following the cold shoulder given by them to the MPs, who were part of an All-Party Delegation, during their recent visit to J&K. Miffed by the snub by separatists, the Government was considering moves to curb foreign travel of separatists by withdrawing their passports and denying travel documents in some cases, besides scaling down their security cover. However, after the meeting of the All-Party Delegation in Delhi on September 7, CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury and MIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi had said that Home minister Rajnath Singh denied that there was a plan to curtail the security provided to separatist leaders. Parrikar also justified deployment of additional troops in Kashmir, saying it was aimed at foiling attempts by terrorists to enter India from across the border and that the move had nothing to do with the ongoing unrest in the Valley. "Army does not act in internal matters unless requested by local administration. Our mandate is to seal the border and foil infiltration bids by terrorists. Today, three infiltrators were killed when they tried to enter India," Parrikar said. Army today foiled three separate infiltration attempts along LoC in Kashmir in Nawgam, Tanghdar and Gurez sectors. Parrikar further said that the civilian protests are not under the jurisdiction of Army, and "additional deployment of soldiers has nothing to do with tackling unrest in civilian areas in Kashmir." On holding talks with all stake-holders, including separatists, and formulating special strategies to tackle law and order situation in Kashmir, the Minister said, "The Home Ministry decides on these issues." He added that the Union Government has been handling violence in the Valley proactively, "which comes from across the border. A small percentage is holding the majority to ransom in the State."

PDP-BJP govt will last its full term: Ram Madhav

14291766_1087543827993981_4131941771398419424_nThe BJPs national general Secretary and its Kashmir point person Ram Madhav on Saturday said Hizb commander Syed Salahuddin was masterminding the ongoing agitation in Kashmir through Hurriyat (G) chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani. In an interview with India Today TV, Madhav said the two-month long agitation - the deadliest the valley has suffered in six years - had posed no threat to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) coalition government in the state. He said the government was committed to "bring back normalcy" in the valley before Eid - a Muslim festival that is being celebrated on Tuesday. "Stone-pelting needs to be stopped," he said and blamed United Jehad Council commander Syed Salahuddin, who is based in Muzaffarabad - the capital of Pakistan-administered Kashmir - for sponsoring the agitation in Kashmir. "It is led by Syed Salahuddin and certain sections get influenced by him. Geelani is leading the campaign in the valley. There is no doubt about that. But the real masterminds are from across the border," Madhav said. The former RSS leader, credited to have cobbled together the PDP-BJP alliance in Jammu and Kashmir, denied there were any differences between the ruling partners. "We have confidence in the PDP-BJP government led by (Chief Minister) Mehbooba Mufti. It will last its full term of six years," Madhav told India Today TV. He was asked if the Kashmir unrest, which has left 78 people dead, had caused fissures in the coalition government. Referring to MP Muzaffar Hussain Baig's series of media interviews asking Mehbooba to step down because the agenda of alliance had not been implemented, Madhav said the PDP leader should have taken up the matter with his party rather than speaking publicly about it. He said the situation in Kashmir was "definitely disturbing and had caused "concern for all of us".

Pak asked to end ‘atrocities’ in Balochistan

14322611_1087147861366911_872586983567334944_nKashmiriyat, Insaniyat, Jamhooriyat incomplete without Bhartiyat: Dr Jitendra Coining a new word Bhartiyat, the Union Minister of State in PMO with independent charge of North Eastern States, Dr Jitendra Singh today said that Kashmiriyat, Jamhooriyat and Insaniyat are incomplete unless Bhartiyat is added to it. Addressing a function in connection with celebration of 20th Foundation Day of Sanjeevani Sharda Kendra at Anandnagar Bohri near here, on the occasion of Sharda Ashtami, Dr Jitendra Singh said Kashmiriyat, Jamhooriyat and Insaniyat is incomplete without Bhartiyat, which has wider and larger connotation and acceptability. “We should take pride to be Indians and also feel proud of that J&K is an integral part of India’’. “Those who are talking of Pakistan have no right to be in J&K’’, he added. Dr Singh said there is no dispute over Kashmir as not only J&K but PoK is also integral part of India, which is under forcible occupation of Pakistan. He said the nation is committed to liberation of that portion as per unanimous Parliament resolution of 1994. He asked the people that they should not be defensive over this issue and say loudly in every debate that J&K is integral part of India. The Union Minister said that opposition parties and Government are also on the same page on this issue as they also have made it clear that there will be no compromise on unity and integrity of the country so far as Kashmir is concerned which is integral part of the nation. Dr Singh, while recalling the role of Kashmiri Pandits said that all the nationalist forces in the country have the same concern which the displaced Pandits have and added that the time has come that “we should not be confined to our own society as under prevailing circumstances our responsibilities have increased as we are facing many challenges’’. “It is the duty of all of us to save this nation from the forces inimical to it’’, he added. Dr Singh said more than half of portion of J&K is with Pakistan and the neighbouring country has gifted some portion of it to China. He said there should be no debate on J&K when the nation has already cleared its stand in Parliament resolution of 1994 to get back the portion lying with Pakistan. Maintaining that “we should have clarity in our thought’’, he said that no political party and even the APD has said that J&K is not the integral part of India. So what kind of dispute is there he asked?. Dr Singh without naming the opposition parties took a dig at those who demand resignation of Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti. These are defeated and disgruntled people who make these statements. He said the defeated people can’t digest to be out of power and instead of making a hue and cry by opposing BJP and PDP they should wait for next elections. These parties have no proposal regarding solution of the problem but they only have one agenda to oppose the government, he said. Ridiculing the statement of some leaders who termed the visit of the All Party Delegation (APD) a failure, he said those who could not meet APD make such allegations and added that APD met 45 delegations of the people in the State. He said separatists have no threat from India but from Pakistan and so they need to be given protection. As Moulvi Farooq and Abdul Gani Lone were also killed by Pakistan, he added. He said Pakistan which has become the epicentre of terrorism today faces threat from within. Highlighting the achievements of two year rule of Modi Government, he said no such developmental schemes for the State of J&K were sanctioned in 65 years which were sanctioned in last two years. In this regard he made a reference to two AIIMS for the State, IIT and IIM, Bio-tech park at Kathua, laying of foundation of Rs 160 crore Kiryan Gandyal bridge over river Ravi in Kathua, dedicating the Atal Sethu to the nation at Basholi, laying the foundation stone of Medical Colleges and proposal of two more Engineering Colleges for the State one at Kathua and another at Safapora Srinagar. He said the Chenani Nashri Tunnel which is the State of art project and proposed Corridor from Delhi to holy township of Katra is the other major project for the State. Dr Singh said there should be no place for violence and it will not be tolerated. “Moreover we are committed to get back PoK lying under forcible occupation of Pakistan and engage our youth in nation building’’. He said in entire youth country is cautious today and they are taking advantage of Modi Government’s policies and programmes “so we are duty bound to educate Kashmiri youth not to fall in the trap of those who have sent their children to lead the luxurious life outside and forced them on the path of violence’’. Dr Singh, while lambasting the opposition parties said that bogey of terrorism should not be used by them to settle scores with their opponents. Maintaining that Pakistan is epicentre of terrorism, Dr Singh said though the neighbouring country is in denial at present but sooner or later it has to accept this. Later talking to reporters on the sidelines of the function, Dr Singh asserted that Balochistan is a very important security concern for India and added that Pakistan should put an end to “operational atrocities” unleashed by Islamabad in the region. “Balochistan is a very important security concern for India”,he said. “You cannot allow your neighbourhood to be on fire because sooner or later it is going to impact you, you cannot build a heaven inside and leave a hell outside,” the he said. Dr Singh said “it is example of a boundary wall with another house and the other house being constantly in trouble and sooner or later you run a risk of being impacted by it’’. He asked Pakistan to put an end to operational atrocities and bring peace in the region. The Minister further said “therefore, it is also part of our responsibility to safeguard the security concerns of India”. “We have to ensure that Balochistan, as a situation, is peaceful, is normal and there is an end to operational atrocities unleashed by Islamabad,” Dr Singh said. Earlier Dr Singh presented Sharda Purskar to Director Sharda Radio Ramesh Hangloo on behalf of Sanjeevani Sharda Kendra. The award was given to him for the role of Radio Sharda in highlighting the national concerns and concern of KPs during exile. Dr M K Bhat read the paper on Sharda Radio while Pardeep Kaul Khudbali managed the stage. He also released a book Kashmiri Sarswat Brahmins written by noted scholar Dr K N Pandia.

Omar must show patience, political maturity towards APD visit outcome: Balbir

Balbir SinghAPD has no magical wand for overnight decisions In terming the visit of All Party Delegation of senior Parliamentarians to state as unfruitful and a futile exercise, National Conference Working President Omar Abdullah, has displayed impatience and political immaturity despite being seasoned politician and having served the state as Chief Minister. This was stated by BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan while commenting on Omar Abdullah’s remarks over the just concluded visit of Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh led high level delegation to Valley and Jammu. The BJP Spokesperson said that by jumping into conclusions from his own perspective and what looks like a narrow vision, the former Chief Minister has only belittled his wisdom and way of comprehending the things for he knows it well that such exercises take some time before reaching at final decisions with regard to controlling sensitive situations like the present one. “Moreover, the APD has not wasted any time in deliberating further what they gathered by meeting scores of delegations in Valley followed by Jammu”, the BJP leader said and added that such exercises cannot be conducted in a hurriedly manner as the Government as also the MPs from various parties have to take cognizance of all the sensitivities of all the three regions. Furthermore, Balbir asserted that while a follow up meeting was held on Wednesday in New Delhi, there will be more deliberations and meetings, most likely the APD may take time to arrive at some fruitful conclusion and before suggesting some concrete measures for the larger objective of restoring peace and normalcy across the Valley. While the feedback of two regions, thrust being more on Kashmir Valley has already been taken by the APD, they are likely to visit Ladakh region shortly to hold meetings with delegations in the region. Omar Abdullah must note that APD has no magical wand nor can the things settle overnight, he must also recall the past unrests, may be any such during his tenure as Chief Minister, when it took some time to restore normalcy by the then governments, the BJP Spokesperson said adding that APD is quite serious in the initiative and exercise taken in hand to restore peace in the Valley. All that is required is some patience and maturity by the mainstream politicians like him rather than choosing to jump into baseless conclusions, just for the sake of remaining in limelight.

Azadi an illusion, separatists selling dreams: BJP    

Khalid JhangirBharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday said that separatists are befooling people by selling dreams to them and are creating a notion that Azadi would come by observing shutdown and strikes. In a statement here the BJP spokesman Khalid Jehangir said, “Separatists have ruined Kashmir and its economy. For the past two months people have been locked inside their homes and every week fresh protest calendar is being issued asking people to observe shutdown and hit the streets. This has been continuing for the past 2-months. Despite authorities lifting the curfew the henchmen of separatists are not allowing people to open their shops nor are they allowing public transport to ply.” Jehangir said, “Those people who are misleading people at the behest of their bosses are destined to face doom and wrath of masses as illusions don’t last forever.” The BJP spokesman said, “Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and would continue to remain so. No power on earth can snatch JK from India.” He said, “Henchmen of separatists have pushed young boys on streets and are instigating them to pelt stones and block the roads. They have made the life of a common man miserable. These selfish elements have made youth soft targets. First they push them towards the graveyard then they shed crocodile tears over their graves.” Jehangir appealed the state and central governments to take stern action against the people who are orchestrating street protests and are not allowing people to come out of their homes. “This vicious cycle of street protests has to end. A handful of people have taken entire Kashmir as hostage. These people have to be taught a lesson for pushing Kashmir into quagmire of uncertainty.”

It is not Kashmir problem but problem in Kashmir : Balbir

Balbir Singh‘Previous govts pampered separatist elements, politicians exploited secessionism’ There is no denying the fact that the present turmoil in Kashmir is Pakistan sponsored. The separatist elements in valley are fighting a proxy war against India with the help of ‘imported’ terrorists and funding from Pakistan with nefarious designs and for the cause of so-called freedom or Azadi. This was stated by Balbir Ram Rattan, BJP State Spokesperson, while commenting on the conduct of separatists with All Party Delegation and their role in general in fuelling unrest in the Valley. He further observed that it is an irony that separatists are misguiding the young boys and using them as human shields while confronting the security forces in an aggressive manner. In this way, in a pre-planned manner, the attempt is being made to highlight the Kashmir issue in the world fora at cost of the lives of young boys. The so called ‘Kashmir Problem’ is, in fact, a problem in Kashmir, where the majority of the Kashmiri people, who want peace and tranquility, are forced to bear the brunt of the situation created by Pakistan with the help of its stooges operating in the valley. Balbir Ram Rattan further maintained that this problem in Kashmir is a result of wrong policies of the initial governments after Independence at the Centre, which always tried to pamper the separatists and politicians with vested interests, while ignoring the interests of common masses. The elite class in the valley has always tried to create the unrest and turmoil on one pretext or the other while following competitive policy of separatism, bringing in an unending vortex violence, instability, destruction with peace becoming a casualty. “What we are facing today is the creation of faulty approach to deal with the separatists and the politicians with vested interests, who should have been curbed from the beginning but unfortunately, the then governments have been liberal with such elements who always remain engaged in propagating communal and anti-India propaganda while raking up the sentiment of  secessionism, the BJP leader said adding that those at the Centre preferred their personal relations at the cost of national interests, which is  one of the major reasons for the upsurge of the anti-India forces. The history is the testimony to the fact that the situation in J&K could have been handled properly by bringing the whole population of the valley in the national mainstream, had nationalist forces in the state been  strengthened by successive Governments at the Centre, Balbir further said. BJP leader reminded the separatist leaders that the historical event of signing of ‘Instrument of Accession’ by the then Maharaja of this state in October 1947 was a legal and final document of J&K becoming part of India. As per the India Independence Act 1947, the prerogative of taking decision and signing of such document vested with Maharaja and the same was followed. There was no voice of any revolt or hue or cry over such a development but the things were exploited by the separatist forces and the politicians to further their political agenda and projected this as  Kashmir problem, whereas it is not so.

‘Separatists’ behaviour had no Kashmiriyat, Insaniyat’

14199528_1083657715049259_2764764609951283932_nDelegation will visit Ladakh too, next meeting in Delhi: Rajnath Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today dropped enough hints for phase wise dialogue in Jammu and Kashmir saying the State comprised of three regions— Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh and they would visit Ladakh very soon for direct talks with the people even as he lashed out at the Kashmir separatists calling their behaviour with some of the All Party Delegation (APD) members, who had gone to meet them in their individual capacity, as neither ‘Insaniyat’ nor ‘Kashmiriyat’. Addressing press conferences at Srinagar this morning and in Jammu in the evening before winding up two-day visit of the APD and returning to New Delhi, Rajnath said the All Party Delegation has visited Kashmir and Jammu and it would soon visit Ladakh for “direct talks’’ with the people there. The statement by Rajnath Singh assumed significance as it came just few days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s interview to a national TV channel that Kashmir is not only part of J&K but there are Jammu and Ladakh regions too, which have their own aspirations. The statement also came only a day after BJP Lok Sabha member from Ladakh, Thupstan Chhewang lashed out at the delegation during meeting with them in Srinagar for neglecting Ladakh asking whether the APD will visit the Himalayan region when people there would take up arms. “Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh are three parts of the State. We have visited Kashmir and Jammu and met delegations. We will also visit Ladakh and inter-act with the people there very soon,’’ he said in his press conference here this evening before departing for New Delhi. Another official member of the delegation, Dr Jitendra Singh, Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), accompanied Rajnath in the press conference. Replying to a question on future course of action by the APD, Rajnath said the delegation will now meet in New Delhi. “We will meet in New Delhi now to discuss in detail the discussions we had with large number of delegations in Srinagar and Jammu and what steps were required to be taken to restore peace and normalcy in the Kashmir valley, which has been facing unrest for the past 58 days now,’’ he said. Though Rajnath didn’t specify date for next meeting of the APD, sources told the Excelsior that it would be held in New Delhi on September 7. They added that future course of action will be decided by the APD in New Delhi after the meeting shortly. Sources said Chief Secretary BR Sharma, DGP K Rajendra Kumar and GOC Srinagar based 15 Corps Lt Gen SK Dua also briefed the delegation this morning in Srinagar on behalf of civil administration, police and Army. They were joined by other senior officers. They briefed the delegation about prevailing situation in the Valley and steps being taken to restore peace. Late last night after Governor NN Vohra hosted dinner for the delegation, Rajnath Singh, Vohra and Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti had separate meeting for half an hour to discuss Kashmir unrest, measures in place to maintain peace and more steps required for restoration of normalcy. Significantly, Rajnath maintained silence on a question whether the Central Government will continue to engage the separatists. Singh said the delegation had very good interactions with individuals and groups during its visit to Kashmir and Jammu and heard their views on different issues. He didn’t agree with a reporter that the visit was a failure. He disagreed with the questioner saying it can’t be described as a failure. The delegation, he said, had ‘very good interactions’ with individuals and groups during its visit to Srinagar and Jammu and heard their views on different issues. The Home Minister said many members of the delegation had little knowledge about Jammu and Kashmir and the visit helped them to understand the ground situation of the State. “I hope that whenever any discussion on Jammu and Kashmir takes place in Parliament, we will get full cooperation from them,” he said. The delegation included 26 MPs from 20 parties apart from Rajnath Singh, who headed it. Two other official members of the delegation were Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and MoS in PMO Dr Jitendra Singh. In his press briefing in Srinagar this morning, Rajnath said that the doors fordialogue on Kashmir are always open but ruled out any talks with Pakistan on the issue in near future. He ruled out talks with Pakistan. "Don't take us out of country, first I am talking to people in the country", he said. Singh said they are ready for dialogue on Kashmir but made it clear that it will be only held within the ambit of the Constitution. "There are no two opinions that Jammu and Kashmir was, is and will remain an integral part of India. I know people of Kashmir also want this. Not only our doors but windows are also open for talks,” he said. The Home Minister said like his previous visits to Kashmir since the unrest began in the Valley, he had expressed his willingness for talks with anyone who wants peace and normalcy in the State. The Union Minister said that whole nation is pained and concerned about happenings in Kashmir. "And, the talks with different delegations that went on since yesterday was good and better. And, I want to appeal to the friends of media that not only we people have concern about the situation in Kashmir but whole Parliament, Government, country is pained. Need everyone's cooperation", he said. He lashed out at Hurriyat Conference leaders for their refusal to hold talks with members of the All-Party Delegation. He said the separatists' behaviour showed they do not believe in Kashmiriyat, insaniyat (humanity) or Jamhooriyat (democracy). “The information given by the delegates (about how the members were treated) makes it clear that it is neither Kashmiriyat nor Insaniyat," Singh said. “Some members of delegation went to meet Hurriyat leaders in their individual capacity. We neither said ‘Yes’ nor ‘No’ (to the move)”, he said. Coming down heavily on the separatists who yesterday snubbed attempts by MPs like CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury, CPI's D Raja, JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav, RJD's Jay Prakash Narayan and AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi to reach out to them, the Home Minister said: "The members had gone to hold talks but by refusing to talk, they have shown that they (separatists) do no believe in Jamhooriyat as well." Singh evaded a direct reply to a question about BJP support or otherwise to the move by Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to write to the separatists urging them to engage with the delegation for resolution of Kashmir issue. "Yes, I have information about that …. She had written a letter," he said without specifying whether BJP, which is ally of PDP in the State Government, supported the move. In response to another question, the Home Minister said he did not want to go into the debate about back channel talks with the separatists or appointment of a fresh team of interlocutors on Kashmir. "Track one, Track Two, Track Three … I do not want to get into this debate," he said. The Union Home Minister said that the APD sought suggestions from different groups and will look at them for improving situation in Kashmir. "Before (holding talks with delegations and political parties), who was saying what and who is saying what, I would not like to say discuss anything here (about that). We have sought suggestion from everyone and in future, if need arises, we will see everyone's suggestion and cooperation for improving situation in Kashmir. I don't want to engage in the debate of who was saying what earlier and who is saying what now", he added. He said that the APD met about 300 people during their two day visit to Kashmir and disclosed that every one wants normalcy to be restored in Kashmir. "All of you know that since yesterday, an AllParty Delegation (APD) of Parliament has come here to talk with the people of Kashmir. The Parliament is country's biggest Panchayat and this biggest Panchayat of the country is very much concerned about the Kashmir problem. And that Panchayat (Parliament) decided that a delegation should go Kashmir to assess the situation (in Valley). Around 26 delegates of 20 political parties are part of this APD and since yesterday, more than 30 delegations comprising of at least 300 persons that included political parties, people from civil society, some teachers from University, Vice-Chancellor, fruit growers, students and some intellectuals presented their views before APD. Everyone wants that situation in Kashmir should normalize. The APD held talks with all these delegations and also held talks, with Jammu and Kashmir's Governor, Chief Minister and also with State officials. I am confident that there would be improvement in the situation of Jammu and Kashmir", he said. Singh said that Centre is extending full cooperation to State Government for improving situation in Kashmir. "As far as the Central Government is concerned, we are extending all cooperation to State Government. The State Government under the leadership of Mehbooba Mufti is also trying to improve the situation", he added. Singh said that the alternative to pellet guns that has led to serious eye injuries and deaths of few people in Kashmir has been found and PAVA shells will now be used for crowd control. “At this point, I want to remind you that on July 24 and 25 when I came here and that time people had complained about pellet guns and, I had said that I am constituting an expert committee that will submit its report in two months. And, they will give suggestion over what could be the other alternatives of non-lethal weapons. The committee even as two months were yet to complete has given its suggestions and the alternative of the non-lethal weapon has been suggested as PAVA shells. I think that won't result in death of anyone. Since yesterday, 1000 shells have already arrived here", the Home Minister said. Singh said that Centre has appointed a Nodal Officer to tackle the issues of Kashmiri students studying in various States of the country. "Last time, when I came here, it was also complained that children of Kashmir who are studying in schools, colleges, technical institutes and medical colleges in other parts of country have also some issues and complaints. And, soon after (his) return, we appointed a Nodal Officer in Home Ministry whose name is Dr Sanjay Rai. I want through your medium also wants to give his number and this phone line will always remain available. The number is 23092923, 23092885", he added. Apart from the Home Minister, the delegation also included Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, Minister of State in PMO Jitendra Singh, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad, his Lok Sabha colleague Mallikarjun Kharge, senior Congress leader Ambika Soni, Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan (of LJP), JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav, CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury and CPI leader D Raja.

NC memorandum and wrongs of history: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaCommenting on the National Conference on its memorandum submitted to All India Parliamentary Delegation, Prof. Virender Gupta expressed his agreement to the National Conference that New Delhi should undo the wrongs of history. He said that the wrong doings of the history are: not getting vacated whole of Jammu & Kashmir areas from Pakistan occupation in 1947; taking the matter to UNO for its resolution, corporating Article 370 in Indian Constitution and not allowing Sardar Patel to deal with Kashmir problem; creating circumstance for Maharaja Hari Singh to leave Jammu & Kashmir state as disgusted person and installing Sheikh Mohd. Abdullah as Prime Minister of the state without the consent of the people of Jammu and Ladakh regions; introducing Article 35A debarring Indian citizens from holding any property in the state by presidential order; not settling Kashmir issue in 1971 when Pakistan was at receiving end when about 90000 Pakistani soldiers were in India’s custody as prisoners of war, installing Sheikh Mohd. Abdullah as Chief Minister again in 1975 under Sheikh-Indira Gandhi Accord with the support of Congress party, which was having 2/3rd majority in the state assembly.
Prof. Virender said that it was a greatest blunder when Abdullah family was again made at the helm of the J&K State affairs and added that this is the root cause of the turmoil in the valley and unsurge of anti-India sentiments. He said that whenever the Sheikh family was in trouble, it was Congress party that gave oxygen to it and reinstalled it in power. Prof. Virender asked Omar that is it not a fact that whether it was 1951, 1975 or 1985, 1996 or 2008, Delhi helped the Abdullah family to regain power in the State? Prof. Virender said all the mistakes of the past need to be rectified by abrogating Article 370, bringing the people of Jammu and Kashmir in the National mainstream, providing justice to people of Jammu region and Ladakh region and to the deprived communities in the Valley and the State like— Shias, Gujjars and minority communities taking measures to re-establish Kashmir Pandits in the Valley by providing them all possible security by creating a security zone for them and added that no concessions be given to those who pursue anti-India policy on the behest of Pakistan and such elements should be dealt with iron hand.

Sat Paul Sharma (CA)BJP State President & MLA Sat Sharma said that the Jammu and Kashmir is privileged enough that it has been considered as one of the most favoured state by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in matters related to sanctioning of packages, developmental projects and welfare schemes. “During the last over two years, record number of projects and welfare schemes have been sanctioned for our state”, said Sat Sharma and added that PM has a dream of taking J&K to new heights of development, bring progress and prosperity and various projects and schemes sanctioned so far by him are the indicators of PM’s commitment towards it. Sat Sharma said that the recent announcement of rupees 200 crore special package for sports in Jammu and Kashmir is one such project which will prove to be beneficial for youth of the state in particular. He said that the package provides for construction of indoor sporting halls in all the districts besides upgradation of two stadiums to the level of international standards. Not only this, the package has also provision for upgradation of stadiums at Poonch, Rajouri and Udhampur districts. This package has also earmarked rupees six crore for introducing water sport facilities. Sat Sharma said that there a large number of youth in the state who is inclined towards various sports and there is very high scope of producing sportsmen of the international and national standards but lack of basis infrastructure creates obstacles to bring out the hidden capability of the youth. The special package is going to be a big boost for sports activities. It will also attract and provide facilities to the misguided youth of Kashmir to engage themselves in sports rather than wasting time in such activities which are of no use for them. The BJP State President, while expressing gratitude to the Prime Minister for announcing such a special package and expressed hope that each penny of 200 crore package will be utilizes judiciously.

R.S Pura will be first in J&K to achieve “Open defecation free town” :Dr. Gagan Bhagat

DSC_0318 Mail  R.S Pura: Dr.Gagan Bhagat started the construction of Individual House Hold Latrine (I.H.H.L)from Ward No.9 of Municipal Committee R.S Pura.While addressing the gathering Dr.Gagan Bhagat said that building toilets in rural India was one of the major promises Prime Minister Narendra Modi made during his speech from the Red Fort ramparts in his first Independence Day address last year. The government has since moved with alacrity, claiming to have constructed around 80 lakh countryside toilets across India under Modi’s ambitious Swachh Bharat mission. Dr.Bhagat said that one of the most common complaints was the lack of acceptability and proper usage of the toilets built in remote rural areas. “Though several toilets have been built in this area, villagers still prefer going out into fields to attend nature’s call. At a few places, villagers have dumped the toilets under piles of husk. In some villages where they have constructed toilets, there is no proper waste management, so to implement the S.B.M at the ground level we have to altogether work in tandem. Some psychological cases also exists , he said that he met a villager in R.S Pura who admitted that he felt “suffocated inside an enclosed toilet” and couldn’t bring himself to excrete until he went to an open field. “At least 55 per cent of the Indian population doesn’t have access to toilets. If we go to villages randomly, we will find one or the other problem. To implement the program at R.S Pura Municipal Committee. “On the directions of M.L.A R.S Pura Dr.Gagan Bhagat we had conducted a Survey which was a third-party survey targeted at genuine results.The said survey was completed in a month. Then we tried to cover almost all aspects of the idea of sanitation. Surveyors were looking at everything: solid and liquid waste management, awareness regarding toilet usage, water storage, hand washing practices and acceptability of the total idea of sanitation,” said E.O Municipal Committee of R.S Pura Jodhraj.Focusing on the end result qualities, certain features were introduced to expedite urban sanitation.Dr.Gagan Bhagat further said that one of the changes introduced was increasing the incentive amount for an individual’s toilet from the existing Rs 12,000 to above depending upon the individual cases like some people had constructed toilets but the same was connected to open drain of the lane which looked shabby. This hike was made keeping in mind that hygiene is an important factor and promotion of washing hands at critical times, such as after defecation, was essential to prevent faeco-oral transmission. Therefore, it was advised that facilities for water storage, hand washing and cleaning of toilets may be created or strengthened alongside the construction of a toilet. In the whole country there was around 80 lakh toilets under the combined Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan, MNREGA and SBM-G programmes .One of the challenges was the requests from some villages of R.S Pura Constituency for enhancement of unit cost of Individual Household Latrines (IHHLs) and community toilets for various reasons, such as adopting different technological options for different geographical locations,” Dr.Bhagat added."The reason is that sanitation is primarily a behavioral issue, to be undertaken by people themselves for their own good. The role of government is only to facilitate this positive change by providing incentives and assisting people. The SBM has a clear focus on behavioral change,” he maintained. Prominent among those who were present included E.O R.S Pura Jodhraj,A.E.E, J.E of U.L.B,representative from the N.G.O which undertaken the task at R.S Pura Zaffer,S.H.O R.S Pura ,BJP Mandal Pradhan R.S Pura Natharam,Zila Pradhan Brijesh Rana,Nagar Pradhan Inder Sudan,BJYM Pradhan Abhishek Gupta,BJYM Nagar Pradhan Manoj Raina,Ashok Salaria,Bishan Dass, Amar Singh Charak,Noubat Ram,Jagdish Raj,Manjeet Singh,Rajesh Babbu,and others.

Pather-Baaz’ untrained teacher’s gift to nation

SS BijralStone throwing, once a fun, is a whole time engagement for some Kashmiri youth, thanks to over ten thousand untrained teachers whose gift these ‘pather-baaz’ are to nation marauding roads of valley- once the hottest attractive jaunt for foreign tourists. Former I. G. Police S.S.Bijral, BJP state spokesperson questioned the state rulers of the times, chiefly National Conference and Congress who appointed untrained teachers with sheer disregard to their professional deficiency to deliver in schools. Pointing to youth who should be having school bag slung or note book in their hands , he said the youth on streets are spending time on streets indulging in aiming practice with stones targeted at security forces unmindful what they are playing with. Pointing to ‘Pratham’ NGO working across urban and rural India to promote basic skills in reading and arithmetic, engaged by Department Of School Education in J&K, Bijral said its report presents a shocking picture of how education standards are being compromised in most govt. schools of Jammu and Kashmir. The report Bijral said makes startling revelation that only 29.7 percent of students in 8th standard are able to read simple words in their books while as 45.9 per cent students are able to read easy sentences. Former IGP said when thousands of teachers are untrained to teach; trained teachers shirk moral responsibility to teach ( as school results show) for they know under Right To Education no student up to 5th class is to be detained; and product of such teachers manage schooling through exam manipulations ending up as social liability. He wondered how can society expect of such students to be career conscious and not ‘pather baaz’ the administration is having tough time dealing with their riotous intent and mind. Bijral said because of situation created by ‘pather baaz’ till date 63 precious young lives are lost,, thousands injured and normal life appearing illusive for last 57 days at a time when tourism industry, state main stay, bustles with peak activity. Bijral in the larger interest of the youth of state and nation fervently appealed that these untrained employees of education department- not fit to be called teachers - be put under essential prescribed training to set right the serious wrong done in past.

Cong should refrain from its nefarious designs: Prof Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaBJP State Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta strongly condemned the statement of Congress senior leader & former JKPCC President Saif-ud-Din Soz advocating for restoring 1953 position and simultaneously pleading for implementation of four point formula as suggested by former Pakistan President “Pervez Musharraf or Manmohan Singh-Musharraf four point formula” as a solution to Kashmir issue with fine tuned to the present needs of the stakeholders. He also ridiculed Soz statement that fight against terrorism should be fought democratically and deliberation should be held with all the stake holders including the separatists and Hurriyat leaders and asking to give due respect to Hurriyat leadership. He said that challenge of militancy and terrorism that too sponsored by foreign country as an instrument to wage proxy war cannot be met by democratic means and by holding negotiations, and those who are engaged in breaking the country cannot be respected. Prof. Virender Gupta was also critical of Ghulam Nabi Azad claim that all the wisdom to resolve Jammu and Kashmir issue lies with him and his assertion that “so for I don’t see a single initiative which is taken by the Government and all credits goes to opposition for all the initiatives taken to bring back normalcy in Kashmir”. He asked Azad that what was Congress doing when it was in power in the state and at the Centre? Why did he fail to control the situation in 2008 and when circumstances compelled him to resign as Chief Minister of the state and why did the situation in J&K took ugly turn during Congress regime in 1990 and 2010? The spokesperson said that BJP is well conversant with the Jammu & Kashmir problem right from the days of Jana Sangh and added that people still appreciate the Jammu & Kashmir policy of NDA Govt. during Vajpayee’s leadership. Prof. Virender Gupta blamed Azad and other Congress leaders for issuing provocative statements in the charged atmosphere and sometimes raising the issues which are against the interests of the country and the government. He cautioned the Congress as well other leaders of opposition parties against overlooking the interests and aspirations of the people of Jammu and Ladakh regions and the majority peace loving and pro-India population of the valley and pressurizing the government for taking steps to yield before the separatists and pro-Pak elements as these may lead to the dangerous consequences. The pre-1953 position and four point Musharraf-Manmohan Singh formula as being suggested by Soz would not be acceptable to the majority population of the state and warned that these proposals of Congress party or National Conference shall be dangerous for the integrity of the country and break Jammu and Kashmir State into different political units. He said that people of Jammu region and that of Ladakh are opposed to, such like solution and shall resist vigorously and violently to any such move. He further added that Congress party shall further lose its ground in Jammu and Ladakh regions, which are considered as its so called strong pockets.

BJP spokesperson further maintained that people of Jammu are wise and mature enough to understand the malafide political intentions and deliberate attempt of Panthers party to misguide them as they know that BJP has made strong efforts to end discrimination with this region. “We have a strong and committed cadre, wide political base unlike Panthers who are trying to create roadblocks in all the developmental projects for sake of opposition. People will indeed give them befitting reply”, he asserted.

BJP demands democratization of Shrine Board

Brig. Anil GuptaReacting sharply to the statement of NC Provincial President & MLA Nagrota, Devinder Singh Rana, as purely malicious and full of propaganda, BJP State Spokesperson Brig. Anil Gupta said that the BJP is only demanding that MLA Reasi should be included in the Shrine Board and MLA can be any from any political party in a democracy. It so happens that the sitting MLA belongs to BJP and could be from any other party in future if the people desire so. Brig. Gupta said that 70-100 lakh devotees visit Mata Vaishno Devi shrine at Katra every year. Over the years it has become the most revered shrine in North India resulting in the growth in numbers of the devotees coming from all parts of the country. It is a major source of revenue providing livelihood to thousands of locals. The shrine is managed by a board with the Governor of J&K as its ex-officio Chairman. The Shrine Board has done a commendable job over the years but has also faced protests and agitations by the locals who are a major stakeholder in the development of the shrine according to Brig Anil Gupta, state spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party. The involvement of the local stakeholders in any envisaged development project is necessary to ensure that their interests are looked after while planning the project and it does not affect their livelihood added Brig Gupta. This can easily be achieved by proper constitution of the Shrine Board and giving representation to democratically elected representatives of the people. The present composition of the Shrine Board does not cater for local representation. The members of the Shrine Board are nominated by the Honourable Governor without giving any representation to the local people. The criteria for nomination is also not known and hence smacks of favouritism and monopolization resulting in the neglect of local interests alleged Brig Anil Gupta. The locals have been agitating for the same for quite some time and have also given a memorandum to the Governor. There is no dispute to the fact that eminent and distinguished people need to be nominated to the Board but there is also a need to democratize the same by nominating the elected representatives, local eminent citizens and civil servants as is done in other Shrine Boards like the Sri Jagannath Temple Board, Gurvayur Shrine Board, Tirupathi and Sabarimalai Temple Boards. BJP is of the opinion that Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine board should be reconstituted to include the MP, local MLA, 1-2 local eminent citizens, the local DC and SSP as ex-officio members. This would ensure a wider representation and take care of the sentiments of the local stake holders as well said Brig Gupta.

Congress playing as second fiddle to NC: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaState BJP Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta strongly criticized the role of Congress party in the present turmoil in the Valley. The Jammu & Kashmir leadership of the party played a second fiddle to NC when its leaders joined the all party delegation to New Delhi under the leadership of Omar Abdullah who gave a clean chit to Pakistan and blamed the State and Central government for the present crisis and also advocated to hold talks with Pakistan and separatists in order to seek solution for Jammu and Kashmir problem. The Congress party both at the Centre and in the State spoke in multiple voices. There was no tuning between the statements of Ghulam Nabi Azad, Digvijay Singh, P. Chidambram, Manishankar Aiyar and Khursheed Ahmed. Even Mr. Azad, who remained Chief Minister of the state, was speaking in different voices and playing his cards mischievously, supporting Omar Abdullah and separatists; criticizing Pakistan for its role and at the same time asking for holding talks with Pakistan. State leadership of Congress also speaks in two voices; G.M. Mir take pro-separatists’ stand where as Jammu leaders plead for taking hard and strong stand against those involved in creating present situation. Prof. Virender said during the last 12 years Congress party was sharing power in the state and it was also running the government at the Centre. It needs to issue a white paper elaborating the steps it took to achieve the lasting solution for Jammu and Kashmir problem. He said that the onus of Jammu & Kashmir problem lies with Congress and National Conference who remained involved in state affairs right from 1947. The blunders committed by Congress party from time to time in 1947 while incorporating article 370, in 1971 giving concession to Mr. Butto then Pakistan Prime Minister under Shimla Agreement and again in 1975 by installing Sheikh in power, are responsible for the present situation. When the trouble started in 1990, 2008 and 2010 the Congress party was sharing power alongwith NC and PDP and added that therefore, the present situation is mostly the fall out of the misdoings of NC and Congress. Prof. Virender was critical of those who blame the present PDP-BJP alliance government for the present outburst in the valley and term the present alliance as complete failure. He told that the progress achieved in the matter of development and schemes launched for the welfare of common masses, poor and down trodden people, are far more than any of the previous regimes. He said that during the small tenure of the present government IIT, IIM, AIIMS and Institute of Mass Communication were sanctioned for Jammu region, 6 new Medical College-3 in Jammu region and 3 in Valley were approved, the road net work is being strengthened by constructing roads in new areas and broadening the existing ones and added that the government has taken up the new projects to improve electricity and water supply to the people. He said that the government is working with commitment and dedication in accordance with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s agenda; “Sab ka Saath, Sab ka Vikas”.

PM’s desire to change laws is need of hour: Balbir

Balbir SinghStep will reduce pendency, delay in disposal of litigation cases Appreciating what Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sought to change laws as a necessary corollary to achieve and jump start the progress of the country, BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan today said that PM has caught the bull by its horns in order to deal with the problems in a constitutional and democratic manner. BJP leader said that truly so, India cannot hope to jump start and achieve rapid progress in the 21st century with laws of colonial era of 19th century. The present setup of laws was drafted by British rulers to facilitate and enable them to rule the country without any hindrance and cannot serve the purpose of present day India, which is aspiring to become the super power in the 21st century. Balbir further said that although our country achieved freedom from the British rule in 1947, which is matter of pride that we are enjoying fruits of democracy for the last 69 years but at the same time, we have not taken any initiative in getting freedom from the laws that which were framed by British from the perspective of their interests .These are in place and still in practice across the country, which is indeed a matter of concern. He added that we have to bring in radical changes in the laws so that they facilitate and usher in an environment, which is conducive for the rapid development of the country and of its citizen. In this context of the aim to achieve rapid progress of the country, we cannot expect our citizens to remain entangled in litigations for generations in the 21st century, the BJP spokesperson observed while substantiating the call of Prime Minister tie bring changes in the laws. There is a popular belief in India that instead of going to courts, we should settle our disputes outside them, which actually speaks of the mindset of the people who think that expecting justice under prevailing laws is a hectic, time consuming and frustrating exercise. The BJP State Spokesperson said that it has been observed that from time to time there had been occasions when even the judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts have expressed their concern over piling up of cases resulting in pendency and delay in disposing of them, something which necessitates this step.

Let’s justify calling India a welfare state : Bijral

SS BijralUrban India which constitutes 28 percent of country’s population is served by 80 per cent of country’s doctors while 72 per cent of rural India looks up in sky for Mercifull’s Mercies. Isn’t there the need for the society and those that matter to justify India as ‘WELFARE STATE’? Startled by the report of Organisation of Pharmaceutical Producers Of India (OPPI) made public which reveals 75 per cent of dispensaries, 60 per cent of hospitals and 80 per cent of doctors are located in urban areas constituting 28 per cent of India, S.S.Bijral former IGP and BJP state spokesperson said one marvels over wellness criteria applied in the country-a welfare state. The spokesperson said the doctors successfully manage to avoid rural area posting through unholy nexus with politicians concerned only with the next election. Rural areas- the poor India- constituting over 70 per cent of country suffer neglect because media, the powerful fourth estate politicians only are scary of, concentrates mainly in the urban areas and administration toes their line for their public image building, at the huge cost of deprived rural population. Former IGP Bijral said with India having been listed at slot 7 amongst world top ten wealthy nations ahead of Canada , Australia and Italy, expects the country would upgrade its present global status in health care, at present the lowest at 4.1 per cent of GDP , bettering the health care facilities of over 70 per cent of badly suffering rural India. This done, he said would check heightened influx of rural population migration to towns where other infrastructural facilities getting stressed beyond capacity. Appreciating the release of the report by KPMG, globally one of the top four companies undertaking audit, headquartered at Amsterdam Netherland and backed by Ministry of Health & Family Planning, the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Chemical & Fertilisers, at OPPI hosted 5th Health Care Access Summit, Bijral said country eagerly looks forward to having our own reliable survey systems that keep alerting the administration in time while spreading public awareness as to their entitlements and nation’s capabilities.

Party hails Modi govt decision on border people

14045971_1073258929422471_3368371140730213154_nMilitancy should be curbed strongly: BJP to Union HM BJP State President & MLA Sat Sharma (C.A.), while addressing the media persons at Trikuta Nagar Office, alongwith State General Secretary Dr. Narinder Singh and State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, said that with the decision of introducing provision for ex-gratia assistance/compensation of rupees five lakh to the families of the victims of cross-border firing, landmines explosions and IED explosions in the border areas, the long pending demand of the people of Jammu and Kashmir will be fulfilled. He said that the people living in borders touching neighboring countries, Pakistan in particular, have been suffering loss of lives and receiving severe injuries due to firing from across the border, explosions of landmines and IEDs, for decades and the successive governments at the Centre never took a human view of the problems and plight of the border people. The successive governments in Jammu & Kashmir also played hide and seek with the border people during all these years after independence. Sat Sharma said that the landmark decision will also bring all the border areas of the country at a common level as J&K had been ignored in the past in matters related to extending assistance/compensation in case of injuries or loss of lives due to cross border firing and explosions of landmines and IEDs despite the fact our people on borders had been the most affected. He expressed gratitude to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi for this landmark decision taken in the Cabinet meeting chaired by him. How much concerned the BJP and its government under Narendra Modi has been towards border people, can be well judged from the fact that during the last two years NDA took a number of decisions for their benefit. In August 2014, when border people were putting up in camps on their migration due to firing from across Pakistan, BJP National President Amit Shah visited their camps in R.S. Pura, Bishnah and other places and was stressed upon to provide them assistance / compensation in case of the casualities and injuries by cross border firing and explosions of mines and IEDs. The party as well as Union MoS Dr. Jitendra Singh, Lok Sabha MP Jugal Kishore Sharma and Rajya Sabha MP Shamsher Singh Manhas had been continuously pursuing the same and finally it has been cleared. Not only this, construction of concrete bunkers, setting up of five battalions of IRP with 60% share of border youth and developing infrastructure on borders have been the other land mark decisions of the present Narendra Modi government. Similarly, the state government has also extended the benefits of SRO-43 to some families in border areas. While briefing about the recent meeting of the BJP delegation with Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh at Srinagar, Sat Sharma said the party conveyed its appreciations towards Union government’s initiative for dialogue with those who believe in ‘Kashmiriyat, Insaniyat and Jamhooriyat’. He said that the party, through a detailed memorandum submitted to the Union Home Minister, suggested no leniency towards trouble makers in the valley besides putting forth suggestions and demands for bringing peace and normalcy, which are :- That militancy should be curbed strongly; free hand should be given to security forces to deal the situation; Intelligence grid be strengthened; terrorist should not be allowed to address public rallies; flow of illegal money to boost terrorism be stopped; coordination be strengthened between all security forces; proper security be provided to minorities living in Kashmir; misuse of loud speaker from Mosques be stopped; activities of Jamayat-e-Islami be put under scanner. (Copy of the Memorandum is hereby attached) Memorandum for kind consideration of Hon’ble Union Home Minister The Hon’ble Union Home Minister, Govt. of India, New Delhi. Esteemed Sir, Kashmir is facing turmoil and there is lot of increase in cross border terrorism as Pakistan has supported terrorism openly. Few Separatists sponsored by Pak Agencies and Government has openly claimed that they are with the Terrorists, who want to destablize the Staet by all means. In fact Pakistan was irritated after BJP and PDP alliance and wanted to destabilize the government. In fact when Pakistan failed on all fronts before International community in internationalizing the Kashmir issue with all efforts, decided to Burhan Wani, terrorist openly tried to take command of problem prevailing in Kashmir, they got support from Hurriyat Conference and Pakistan. In fact it was proxy war against the country and a calculated attempt was made to demoralize the security forces and to defame them. Infact, Security Forces have suffered a lot and tried to maintain maximum restrain which they can. It is not out of place to mention here that this time youth especially teenagers were exploited to achieve the ulterior motives and to destabilize the Government. Shri Amarnath Yatra was disturbed and not only this, attempts was made to attack Baba Budha Amarnath Yatra, in Jammu region. Infact Chief Minister has rightly said that 95% people in Kashmir wants peace and normalcy but are being disturbed under threats by terrorists and their supporters. An hostile atmosphere was created in order to harass the minority on one or the other pretext. Non existing issue were made issues by misrepresenting facts like the establishment of Sainik Colony to adjust outsiders and further migrant colony issue was raised in a manner to generate reaction among common masses in Kashmir. BJP has seriously expressed its concern with all, who have lost their life except terrorists and those who want to destabilize the elected Government and further wanted to spoil the peaceful atmosphere of the state. The State BJP would request that the Government of India should raise the demand for vacation of PoJK at all International Forums, resolutely and vigorously. We also feel that the Government of India should created a separate Cell/Department under the Ministry of Home for the State of Jammu and Kashmir to keep a regular watch on the situation and suggest appropriate measures to bring the people of Kashmir in National mainstream. We fully appreciate and endorse the steps taken by the Central Government and especially by yourself and Sh. Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India and your recent visit to Kashmir will further create an atmosphere of trust and faith. It will further help in normalizing the situation. The situation is improving and all attempts to alienate Kashmir people from mainstream will fail. We also feel that talks with Right Thinking persons in all regions will generate a sense of confidence and their respective issues will be resolved. BJP is of the firm opinion that J&K is integral part of India. Accession cannot disputed, PoK is our part as per State Constitution and as per the commitment expressed by Parliament of India in 1994 while referring the dispute with Pakistan and we fully endorse and stand of resolution of 1994. We suggest few measures to improve the situation:- i. That militancy should be curbed strongly; ii. Free hand should be given to security forces to deal the situation; iii. Intelligence grid be strengthened; iv. Terrorist should not be allowed to address public rallies; v. Flow of illegal money to boost terrorism be stopped; vi. Coordination be strengthened between all security forces; vii. Proper security be provided to minority living in Kashmir; viii. Misuse of loud speaker from Mosques be stopped; ix. Activities of Jamayat-e-Islami be put under scanner.

Balbir SinghComing down heavily on leaders of J&K Panthers Party for their anti-BJP statements in recent past, BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan today said these utterings are out of their sheer frustration and the allegations so made are baseless. He said that for quiet some time now, it has been observed that the leaders of Panthers Party, after being defeated badly by BJP candidates in the last assembly election, have become more vocal and active in organizing dharnas and protests and criticizing the coalition government particularly BJP, on one pretext or the other, albeit without any substance. Change in the behaviour and conduct of senior leaders of this Party is the outcome of mere frustration and grouse they have been nourishing against BJP, Balbir said. He said that the recent allegation of Harsh Dev Singh, Panther Party Chairman, that corruption is fast spreading in the state and that BJP must ensure probity within its flock, is one such instance that goes on to say that Panther leaders are attacking BJP on baseless grounds. “While the BJP appreciates the concern of Harsh Dev Singh on corruption and his demand for enquiry, the party, however wants that it should start from the period when he was Education Minister that witnessed a number of complaints against transfer policy in his department and corrupt practices in the entire hierarchy of the department, the BJP leader remarked. As far Harsh Dev Singh’s advice for probity within BJP, he said that there is no need of any probity as the entire BJP cadre and its ministers are working with a mission and never indulge in corrupt practices, which is why the allegations of Harsh Dev Singh are totally baseless. “He should, instead look into the behaviour of his own party leaders, particularly when they were enjoying political power in the state”, Balbir said. While reacting to the statement of Panther Party President Balwant Singh Mankotia that “Tiranga Yatras” being conducted by BJP is causing traffic congestion, the BJP leader countered by saying these are the demonstrations on regular basis without any substantial cause being held by the Panther Party, which are actually violating all the traffic norms. “ It is politically convenient for them to see everything wrong in BJP activities….but they should remember that those who live in glass houses should not throw stones on others….”, the BJP leader observed while lamenting Panthers Party leaders’ criticism. It would have been good and appreciable, had Balwant Singh Mankotia and his colleagues joined the BJP’s “Tiranga Yatra” which is being organised to respect ,remember pay homage to the martyrs, who laid down their lives for the cause of the nation as also for the honour of national tricolor, Balbir said adding that such comments only amount to disrespecting the national flag, something which doesn’t behove well on the part of Panthers Party leaders.

He said that it happened for the first time that BJP celebrated the 70th Independence Day by organising different events and programmes spread over a fortnight with a motive of reaching the people in every nook and corner to remember the martyrs of Independence struggle and make public aware about the honour of the nation tricolour. Yudhvir Sethi, who was Overall Incharge of the recently concluded “Tiranga Yatra” for Jammu-Poonch Parliamentary Constituency, said that it was led by Lok Sabha MP Jugal Kishore Sharma, who continuously devoted ten days and covered every area of his constituency on two wheelers which passed through Samba, Jammu, Jammu West, R.S.Pura, Akhnoor, Nowshera, Rajouri and Poonch Districts. This yatra was given rousing reception not only in urban areas but the people, youth in particular, were seen feeling pride to join and get associated with the yatra even in rural areas. He expressed gratitude to the people as well as MP Jugal Kishore Sharma, District, Mandal and Booth level teams of BJP and its morchas for contributing in making it successful. Making a fervent appeal to the youth of Kashmir, who has been misled by a handful of separatists and are being used for stone pelting, said that they should first understand that the own children of the so-called leaders of valley are pursuing their studies away from valley for a better career and none of them is on roads in Kashmir. He said that it a boy from a poor family who gets injured or killed in such incidents and it hardly matters for separatists and Pakistan. He asked the youth to not fall prey into the trap of these leaders and rather come under the national tricolour and hold it to make it clear that Kashmiri youth is as nationalist as that from Jammu, Ladakh or any other state of the country and will not allow to disturb the social fabric and give a befitting replay to all such forces which are posing threat to the unity and integrity of the country. he said that the peace and development in J&K is not possible without the participation of Kashmiri youth and hence, they should be part of Modi's Mission for the state.

Arun Jaitley and other leaders were offered Dogra Pagri on their arrival at the venue. Arun Jaitley, while addressing the gathering, said that visiting the birth places of the leaders who wrote history is a very rare moment and it is indeed also a matter of pride that we are becoming a part of the campaign to educate the public about the freedom struggle and induce patriotic feelings among the people. He said that a small village called Smailpur might not have ever thought that a man born on its soil Pt. Prem Nath Dogra would lead the historic agitation of 1953. He said that Pt. Prem Nath Dorga was an institution in himself and united the people of Jammu against the discriminatory policies of the Kashmir centric ruling elite. The contribution of Pt. Prem Nath Dogra had been splendid and the nation cannot forget it. He also spoke on incidents of Bangalore and JNU, which indicated that the Congress and others parties have been soft towards anti-national elements. Speaking on the present turmoil in Kashmir, Jaitley held Pakistan responsible for it and said that stone pelters need to be dealt under law of the land. He said that after Independence, India had positive agenda of progress and fight against poverty, while Pakistan worked on sole negative agenda of Kashmir.

He declared that there will be no compromise on nation’s security and integrity. Dr. Jitendra Singh spoke on two noble qualities of Pt. Prem Nath Dogra which earned him the distinction of being a totally different leader who also came to be called Sher-e-Duggar. He said that although Smailpur is a small which even may not be visible on the state’s map but it has given a number of outstanding personalities in various fields and we are feeling honoured today to be attending a programme to remember Pt. Prem Nath Dorga and martyrs at their birth place. He also spoke on Nehruvian model of economics and politics and said that J&K state is the best example where both these have failed. Sat Sharma said that like other states, the BJP activists in J&K also have been organizing different events to celebrate the 70th Independence Day. He said that the day should not be confined to just hoisting national flag but the people should take it as their duty to reach the masses and make them aware about the need to strengthen the nationalist forces. We have to tell the people the difference between the nationalism and separatism and take pledge to follow the path of great leader like Pt. Prem Nath Dogra and warrior like Brigdier Rajinder Singh. We should also induce patriotic feeling among the young generation. He also applauded the role of Pt. Prem Nath Dogra during Ek Vidhaan- Ek Nishan- Ek Pradhan agitation. Dr. Nirmal Singh said that on the 70th Independence Day, the decision to organise fortnight programmes will obviously will sent a positive message of once’s responsibility towards the nation. He said that in the present situation in the state, it becomes all the more important to educate the people about the freedom struggle, unite them against the anti national forces in order to give a befitting reply to the elements who are trying to create problems and erecting obstacles in the smooth functioning of the coalition government. “Today we should also remember the brave soldiers and martyrs of 1953 agitation who laid down their lives for the honour of the Tiranga, he said and added that the sacrifice of Pt. Prem Nath should always remain in our minds so that we get inspiration and strength to agitate and fight. Jugal Kishore Sharma said that the Tiranga Yatra being undertaken in the Parliamentary Constituency is receiving overwhelming response which itself proves the enthusiasm among the people who are seen excited when someone reaches them are pass by them with tricolour in hands. He said that the party has succeeded in conveying its message of Independence Day celebrations, which has happened for the first time in Independent India . Shamsher Singh Manhas said that Pt. Prem Nath Dogra was very much concerned about the developments which had been obstacles in the free flow of Indian Constitutions and respect for the national symbols. Pt. Prem Nath Dogra as well as Dr. Shame Prashad Mookherjee were of the view that there could not be two constitutions, two flags and separate post of Prime Minister and hence Praja Parishad agitations was launched which succeeded to some extent but the mission is still incomplete and we have to work towards achieving it.

Time to rethink on female foeticide : Bijral

SS Bijral
Women alone resued India in Rio When second most populous country in world and the largest ever Rio Olympic contingent was rescued from wash off in terms of medal tally by women only, it’s time we think: ‘do we really not need girl child to be born despite her being strong enough to excel in any eventuality despite the odds?’ Proud of Pusarla Venkata Sindhu, famous P.V. Sindhu, winning silver medal in badminton creating history in India, Sakhshi Malik winning bronze in wrestling and Dipa Karmakar making it amongst finalists in gymnastics and earning fourth place (the first ever for any Indian) in Rio Olympics 2016, S. S. Bijral State Convener Beti Bachao Beti Padhao said our girl child is a disguised beautiful selfless soul. Over centuries, the selfish society made no effort to know her capabilities, instead strived to let her not be born, ensured she stayed weak physically and mentally, to be at mercy of man and confined. Bijral said otherwise born strong, she was rendered weak, and termed ‘weak sex‘ and made dependant. Bijral reminding society words of 12th century Islamic scholar IBU Rsd aka Averroes; “ We have no ideas what capacities woman have other than reproductive functions. For this we turn them into man’s servant to feed and raise children. This destroys whatever other quality is there in them”, said the girl child is gift of God as future mother. For we worship God she deserves to be welcomed, nurtured and groomed like child of male gender. Not welcoming and celebrating her birth , under nourish her, ignore her education, discourage her from sports and keep her morale low for maintained subjugation. He said thus we suppress her gifted capabilities to her disadvantage, to the disadvantage of home she serves as first role model and finally the nation. Former IGP Bijral said likes of P.V. Sindhu, Sakhshi Malik and Dipa Karmaker and many other women who have earned laurels for country in sports before, have by their prowess confirmed centuries old truth stated by Ibu Rasd aka Averroes. This, he said, happened as their parents nourished their physique and intellect and brought out their hidden gifted abilities, generally remaining suppressed, otherwise, in others. Motivated by scintillating performance of the there in Rio Olympic, S. S. Bijral made fervent appeal to fellow Indians to rethink about resorting to female foeticide - the greatest sin in the realm of God we worship, and against nation we say our first love.

Opposition parties’ meeting Prez is a political drama: Balbir

Balbir SinghLeaders in rat race to remain in news, skipped meetings called by govt BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan has lambasted the opposition parties in J&K for not extending cooperation to the PDP-BJP alliance government efforts in restoration of peace and normalcy in the state, which is witnessing unrest for over a month now. Instead of coming forth and extending any fruitful cooperation, the opposition parties are playing to gallery, BJP leader said adding that seeking a meeting with the President Pranab Mukherjee is nothing but only their enactment of political drama. Balbir Ram Rattan, while hitting out at them said that leaders of Congress, NC and CPI were only in a rat race of remaining in news; they have rather played negative role and incited the people by their statements instead of helping the government to control the situation. Substantiating his point, he said there had been number of occasions after trouble erupted in the valley when All Party Meetings were called at different levels for putting united efforts to bring normalcy. “ In one of the meetings called by Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, NC stayed away and in the other meeting called by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, it was the Congress which boycotted it”, Balbir said. One fails to understand why these leaders held separate meeting and decided to meet President to submit Memorandum, the BJP leader pointed out while terming it merely a Political Drama. The BJP Spokesperson further said that these parties were only misleading the people of the valley and it was astonishing to note that none from these parties ever appealed the misguided youth in Kashmir to desist from violence nor did they showed any concern or yearning for restoring peace. “These instances clearly indicate that Congress, NC and others are shedding crocodile tears on the present situation, having least concern in the restoration of peace and normalcy”, said Balbir. He further pointed out that there is no purpose of holding dialogue with the concerned groups/individuals in the present situation. Referring to one of the demands made by the opposition, Balbir said that present situation does not warrant holding judicial enquiry into the causes of unrest or circumstances in which the people lost their lives. The NC and Congress should first apply this to the loss of lives during the era when they ruled the state, BJP leader said and asked how many enquires were conducted for 1990, 2008 and 2010 turmoils by the NC-Congress governments in the state and UPA government at the centre at that time.

Jaitley visiting Smailpur on August 21

14095828_1068132863268411_8489657266138701640_nRole of Congress, NC has not been positive: Sat In the series of programmes being organized to celebrate the 70th Independence Day, the “Azaad 70” with the theme of “Yaad Karo Qurbani”, the Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, alongwith Union MoS Dr. Jitendra Singh and J&K State BJP leadership will address public at Smailpur, the birth place of Praja Parishad & Jana Sangh Former President Pt. Premnath Dogra on August 21. Addressing media persons at Trikuta Nagar office, BJP State President & MLA Sat Sharma (C.A.) alongwith State General Secretary Dr. Narinder Singh and State Chief Spokesperson Sunil Sethi, said that this will be part of the nationwide programmes and events, wherein the Union Ministers have been deputed to visit the birth places of National Icons, places of historical importance related to India’s Independence movement and memorials of such leaders who took part in the Independence agitation and secured freedom for the country. During the fortnight programmes to celebrate 70th Independence Day, ‘Prabhat Pherris’ were taken out at District and Mandal levels. Similarly, Yuva Morcha took out ‘Mashal Rallies’. It was for the first time that the nation tricolour was hoisted at booth level by the party activists. On 18th August, BJP Mahila Morcha activists reached borders to tie rakhis to army men and BSF personnel. The scheduled programme of August 21 is among one such programmes. Sat Sharma said that at this stage, the call of Jammu Bandh by Chamber of Commerce, Jammu, is not in the interest of the state and the nation. The letter which has been issued by Kashmir Chamber of Commerce asking Jammu Chamber of Commerce to go ahead with the Jammu Bandh on August 20 in support of the claims of Kashmir Chamber against the alleged killing of innocent civilians by security forces, is anti-national stance which has been taken by Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and if the Jammu Chamber of Commerce supports it, then its credentials will also come under suspicion. The public of Jammu cannot support anti-national elements and statements and as such Chamber of Commerce, Jammu, is called upon to reconsider the bandh call, which will otherwise be playing in the hands of separatists and their supporters. While the government at the Centre and coalition in the state are very much concerned towards bringing normalcy and peace in the valley, unfortunately the role of Congress and NC has not been so positive and as a result of which the separatists and anti-national elements are being encouraged, he said.

Our prime duty to defeat anti-national forces: Jugal

Jugal Kishore Shrama, while addressing the party activists and public during his travel on two wheelers, said that maximum people of present generation have not witnessed the freedom struggle and may not even be aware of the atrocities committed on Indians by British, while they were fighting for freedom. Hence, it becomes our duty to reach the people and remind them about the supreme sacrifices of the patriots, who left the luxuries of life and jumped into freedom movement. “Azaadi 70”, celebrations on 70th Independence Day include scooter, motor cycles rallies to be taken out by MPs across their respective Parliamentary constituencies with a motive of making people aware about the various aspects of freedom struggle and the role of thousands of patriots in getting their motherland freed. Today we boast of living in a democratic country where we have freedom in many matters but for this freedom we have made supreme sacrifices. It becomes our prime duty to defeat anti-national forces and strengthen the nationalist forces so that the freedom and democracy become more strong. He also appealed the parents and elders in the families to devote their time in educating their children in such a way that patriotic feelings get induced in them. Yudhvir Sethi said that the ‘Tiranga Yatra’ is getting overwhelming response in entire constituency and we feel happy that the objective of making public aware about the struggle for Independence is being conveyed in a right way.

Anil Parihar said that it is indeed a rare moment in his political life that he has been chosen by the party to be part of the ‘Tiranga Yatra’ being taken out in connection with celebrations of the 70th Independence Day. He said that although the people of his generation were not part of the struggle for freedom which bore fruits in 1947 but getting associated with the Yatra in honour of the tricolour and the great martyrs is itself a matter of satisfaction. He said that simply hoisting flag on Independence Day or Republic Day is not just enough. We should make a habit in our daily life to devote some time to ensure that we spread the message of Independence, Unity and need to strengthen the social fabric of the society so that no one succeeds in nefarious designs.

Omar’s tweet reveals more than intended: Bijral

SS BijralLearning of former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s tweet mocking at Centre over Balochistan, one can’t escape recalling Confucius’s words: “Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance”. S.S.Bijral former IGP, State BJP spokesperson said his words unfortunately reveal more of ignorance than he probably thought of. He said there is need for him to know for he stays a contender. Bijral said NC working president’s tweet, “ six persons dead in Kashmir in 24 hrs but WTH (what the hell) let’s go sort out Balochistan since we are doing such a good job in Jammu & Kashmir at the moment,” reveals his being unaware of the famous dictum “your enemy is your best teacher”. The spokesperson asserted Pakistan despite being poor and managing on foreign doles with own house burning in racism, terrorism and drugs, thrust four open wars on India and proxy war of decades in Punjab and J&k to internationalise J&K issue, to annex it and failed miserably, succeeding only at slowing down India’s progress and development. He said NC’s close ally Congress that mis-ruled country for six decades did not learn from enemy – Pakistan and strived always to buy peace with it even suffering humiliation at times. It was time he said, we exposed Pakistan internationally for its acts of oppression and suppression meted out to people of Balochistan, POK, Gilgit and Baltistan while being strong militarily ourselves to be able to get the enemy at peace table believing language of peace is of the strong and never of weak. Bijral required of twitter author to remember that Kashmiris have far sharper intelligence, (though he himself is one) and memory and expecting them to have forgotten what rule he provided during his 6 years Chief Minister’s, would be living in one’s own world. The spokesperson called upon Omar Abdullah to as well strengthen PM’s call in support of suffering people of Balochistan, Gilgit and Baltistan since its no less a humanitarian issue.

Cong, NC trying to destabilize coalition govt : Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaBJP J&K State spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta, was critical of the resolution adopted in the meeting of the State political parties and leaders organized by Omar Abdullah and attended by several National Conference and Congress leaders, CPI(M) leader Mohd. Yousuf Tarigami, some independent MLAs and blamed these leaders for fishing in the troubled water. He said that none of these leaders played any effective role in pacifying the situation; instead they remain engaged in instigating the people and aggravating the prevailing situation and added that Omar Abdullah’s Tweets on daily basis gave support to the ongoing agitation led by the extremists and terrorist groups at the behest of Pakistan. He said that as is obvious from the statements of Gulam Nabi Azad and P. Chidambaram, Congress party is acting behind the scene, in organizing the present meeting to take the benefit of the existing situation and destabilize the PDP-BJP coalition government in the sate. Prof. Virender criticised Omar Abdullah for absolving Pakistan and down playing its role in the creation of present situation, whereas it is world known and ample clear from the statements of Pakistan Prime-Minister, its President, Army Chief and other functionaries, apart from the leaders of the terrorist groups, that Pakistan and terrorist groups operating from Pakistan are mainly responsible for the present situation in the valley. He added that Omar Abdullah must have the knowledge that most of the terrorists killed in Jammu and Kashmir recently belonged to Pakistan and must be aware of the admission statements of Pakistani terrorists captured by the Indian security forces and asked Omar to explain the reason for denial of truth and for his blatant lie. Prof. Virender asked Omar Abdullah whether the boys of ten to twelve years of age are self motivated? He also asked “did the Prime-Minister, Narendra Modi, not make efforts to have negotiations with Pakistan to resolve the bilateral issues between the two countries? Did Modi not make attempts to address the various issues confronting the people of Jammu and Kashmir State? Did he not make many visits to Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the valley?”. The spokesperson added that probably Omar Abdullah has too short memory that is why he has forgotten the efforts of Government of India to retrieve the Valley from the flood calamity, and assistance of 80 thousand crore for the development activities. Prof. Virender said that this is not the time to hold enquiry into the so called excesses committed by the security forces and added that it is also not the time to have dialogue with Pakistan or any other individuals or groups on the Jammu and Kashmir issues. Prof. Virender asked Omar that how many enquiries were conducted on outbreak of violence after 1990, 2008 and 2010 when National Conference and Congress were in power. He also said that any political solution of Jammu and Kashmir State can only be worked out while taking the people of all the three regions into confidence; Pakistan and its supporters in the Valley has no role to play. Prof. Virender said that entire nation and security and political analysts/strategists whole heartily supported the Prime-Minister’s statement in the meeting of the leaders of political parties and during his address on 15th August to the Nation, raising the issue of PoJK, including Gilgit and Baltistan and that of Balochistan.

Jugal covers Rajouri with Tiranga yatra

IMG-20160817-WA0024Continuing with the BJP’s programme of reaching every nook and corner of the Parlimentary Constituency on scooters and bikes, Lok Sabha MP Jugal Kishore Sharma, along with Pahari Board State Vice-Chairman Kuldeep Raj Gupta, MLC Vibodh Gupta and District President Dinesh Sharma, travelled through Muradpur, Tangari and Palma areas falling under Rajouri, Kalakote and Darhal Assembly Constituencies of Rajouri District. This rally with three hundred two wheelers finally culminated at Budda Amarnath Yatra base Camp in Rajouri City. Jugal Kishore Sharma, while speaking to the people at a number of places where he was accorded warm reception, said that the focus of “Tiranga Yatra” as part of the celebration of the 70th Independence Day is to remember and pay tributes to all those martyrs who laid down their lives during the national struggle for independence from foreign rule. All the celebratory programmes on the occasion of 70th Independence Day and spread over many days, have special significance so that the people fully appreciate and become aware of the national history. India had remained under foreign rule for many centuries due to the fragmentation and division of the country into many small kingdoms and principalities. Their mutual rivalry and competition facilitated the Britishers to make India its colony. He further said that we have to guard against divisive and fractious forces in the country, so that the country does not get deviated from the path of progress. The so called activists, who find fault with the governing system of the country in every respect should be ignored and we must persist with our efforts to realise the dream of Narendra Modi Prime Minister of India. Vibodh Gupta said that the Tiranga Yatra has been successful in entire Rajouri district and the same is clear from the fact that people in large, youth in particular, joined us at different places. He said that the enthusiasm among the people is also an indicator that whether rural or urban, everyone is concerned for the nation, martyrs and honour of its symbols. He also spoke on various other events being organised under Azaadi 70 fortnight programmes. Kuldeep Raj Gupta said that this yatra has reminded of the 1953 agitation when the nationalist people got bullets for carrying the tricolour in their hands. Today the time has changed and anyone can raise the national flag. District President Dinesh Sharma said that the 70th Independence Day celebrations through various programmes will obviously enthuse common people to identify themselves with the dreams of Narendra Modi to make India a true great nation.

Any Disturbance to Budha Amarnath Ji Yatra Will Never be Tolerated : Vibodh

Vibodh GuptaVidodh Condemns Attack on Budha Amarnath Ji Yatra Expressing his anguish on the attack on the innocent yatris of Budha Amarnath Ji yatra, BJP senior leader and MLC Vibodh Gupta today strongly condemned the yesterday’s attack on the yatris. While addressing the media persons in Rajouri, Vibodh said that this is a very unfortunate incident and these designs of the enemy will be defeated by the brave and patriotic people of Pir Panajl region. He said that by such type of cowardly acts the enemy wants to disturb the peaceful atmosphere of the region. He also questioned the lapses in the security of the yatris and demanded a through probe into the incident which led to such a tragic incident. Vibodh further added that the people involved in such a incident must be immediately arrested and no one should be spared for such type of acts. Referring to the recent cease fire violations, Vibodh said that the involvement of forces from across the border should also be probed. He said that currently there is huge chaos in POK and this is the main reason that forces from across the border are trying to divert the attention of International community from their misgovernence and atrocities in POK. He also highlighted the facts that in POK the people who raise their voice against misgovernece are being brutally killed everyday. The need of the hour is that the people of Jammu & Kashmir must understand the nefarious designs of the enemy and should stand united so that recent developmental initiatives taken by the Government can be taken towards a logical conclusion. He called upon everyone specially the local youth of Rajouri and Poonch to remain calm and have faith in our security agencies who are capable to deal with such situations.

BJP condemns the grenade attack in Poonch: Sat Sharma

13872805_1064260276989003_579835268615927343_nReacting sharply to the blast in Poonch market, BJP State President & Jammu West MLA Sat Sharma CA, said,”the grenade attack near the Akhara Camp in Poonch targeting Hindu pilgrims heading for Buddaha Amarnath is a clear attempt at disturbing the communal harmony in the area and to discourage devotees from undertaking holy pilgrimage of Buddha Amarnath. BJP strongly condemns this cowardice act and warns the anti-national elements that they would not be allowed to succeed in their nefarious design. The cadre of BJP will fight all such elements tooth and nail and would provide full cooperation to the administration in maintaining peace in the area.” He was also critical of those unscrupulous miscreants who have posted hand written posters with the slogans “GO BACK,” asserting that these are being posted to create fear psychosis among the local population with a view to force them to remain away from the forthcoming independence day celebrations. Sat Sharma urged the local police and civil administration to nab at the earliest such miscreants before they are successful in fuelling the trouble further. Sat Sharma also deplored Pakistan for the unprovoked ceasefire violation targeting civilian areas. It is a well- known fact that Pakistan is not able to digest the peace and tranquility that prevails in this border region due to the bonding between the residents and has been desperately trying to spread the arc of Wahabiyat and jihadi terrorism in south of Pir Panjal with active collaboration of Hurriyat, remarked Sat Sharma. Taking advantage of the ongoing unrest in Kashmir, the hostile elements want to fan the trouble in these peaceful areas in order to portray it as support for the unrest in Valley. The BJP President advised the state government to act firmly against such hostile elements so that they are unable to succeed in their evil design and the area continues to remain peaceful. He also warned Pakistan to refrain from fomenting trouble in our state and should take care of the trouble brewing in POJK, Gilgit-Baltistan and stop committing atrocities on our brothers and sisters residing there. The demand for freedom from illegal occupation of Pakistan is gaining momentum in those areas and we are solidly behind the people of all Pak occupied areas, Sat Sharma added. Before proceeding to participate in Tiranga rallies in Basohli, Sat Sharma visited the injured in GMC, Jammu, in early hours of Sunday. He enquired about their welfare and directed the hospital authorities to ensure that their treatment including medicines are provided free to them.

Declare Pak High Commissioner ‘persona non grata’: Brig Gupta

Brig. Anil GuptaReacting sharply to the provocative comments of Abdul Basit, Pakistan’s High Commissioner in India, during the celebration of his nation’s independence day at the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi wherein he interfered in the internal affairs of India by talking about freedom of Kashmir, Brig Anil Gupta, state spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) requested the Government of India to declare Abdul Basit as a persona non grata and expel him immediately. Abdul Basit’s statement that Kashmir will be free one day and his act of dedicating “today’s independence day celebrations to the independence of Kashmir” are blatant breaches of diplomatic protocol, he added. Abdul Basit on earlier occasions also hasd crossed the ‘Red Line’ which was ignored by the government yet he continues to misuse his diplomatic immunity by meddling in India’s internal affairs unashamedly lamented Brig Gupta. Abdul Basit has thrown to wind all the diplomatic niceties and is behaving like a spokesperson of the Pakistani deep state attempting to provoke the Indian Government and such a person has no locus standi to stay on the soil of India asserted Brig Gupta. Abdul Basit was responsible for scuttling the commencement of likely peace process between the two countries when he insisted on holding consultations with Kashmiri separatist leaders despite India’s objection just prior to the scheduled meeting of the foreign secretaries of the two countries. He has not only been interacting with the separatists but also issuing provocative statements from time to time according to Brig Gupta. It is surprising that Pakistan is not seeing the writing on wall in its country which is heading towards disintegration with freedom movements having peaked in POJK, Gilgit-Baltistan and Balochistan and continues to dream of detaching Kashmir, an integral part of India. Brig Gupta reminded Pakistan of the statement of India’s Minister for External Affairs Sushma Swaraj, “Pakistan’s stated goal of detaching Kashmir from India will not be realised to the end of eternity.” He once again implored the government to provide moral, political and financial support to the freedom fighters in POJK and Gilgit-Baltistan since it is part of India in illegal occupation of Pakistan.

Apologize for being root cause of Kashmir unrest: Bijral

SS BijralKashmir once again is on fire with over 50 killed, over 3000 injured, including securitymen, in 35 days of violent unrest, curfew and normal life thrown out of gear. One is traumatised seeing those responsible for this grim situation advocating central govt to address root cause of unrest. S.S. Bijral Ex-IGP, BJP state spokesperson quoted B.K. Nehru Governor J&K (1981-1984) as mentioned in his memoir ‘Nice Guys Finish Second’ (614-5) published in 1997: “From 1953 to 1975 Chief Ministers of J&K had been nominees of Delhi. Their appointment to that post was legitimised by the holding of farcical and totally rigged elections in which Congress party led by Delhi’s nominee was elected by huge majorities”. The spokesperson further cited 1978 recorded observation of prominent Hindu Kasmmiri journalist and activist Prem Nath Bazaz: “ After independence rulers of J&K were not the freely chosen representatives of the people……… but were the nominees and protégés of the central Congress Govt. Not even once the elections were fair and free ……….it was sure by hook or by crook to win the majority at the polls, most of its candidates were declared elected without contest.” Bijral said the time ticking explosive planted by NC+ Congress in 1953 finally surfaced in 1987 when with voter turnout of 75% NC- Congress alliance won 66 seats (NC 40+ Cong 26). Allegations of rampant malpractices and rigging were levelled with Kashmiris including separatists alleging that denial of democratic right, voiced concern for open recourse to unconstitutional methods to fight against unjust trampling of rights. MUF having backing of separatists won only four seats while they expected to sweep polls. Corrupt, failed administration encouraged Pakistan incited Kashmiri youth to cross over, receive arms training to begin an armed secessionist movement. Thus began the journey of once ‘janat’ onto road to ‘hell’. Citing it gift from Congress, NC combine, Bijral said actors who played havoc in their decades long rule, now shed glycerine tears pass jibes at PM who expressed concern for beautiful Kashmir, ‘to not love the land but love Kashmiris’ as if they (the suckers) had shed blood for kashmiris. Bijral said Congress having befooled Kashmiris all along, its tall leader Azad amazingly had acumen to say in parliament: yeh haalat hoyee hai jab se aap ke qadam wahan padheiy”, pointing to BJP. Atal Bihari Vajpayee as PM inducted principals of ‘insaniyat, jhamooriyat, Kashmiriyat’ into suffering J&K. Era of fair and free elections started with turnout: 2002 (45%), 2008 (60.5%), 2014 (65.23%). Power hungry blood suckers unsatisfied with ‘vegetarianism’, changing focus and modus operandi earned ‘most corrupt state’ title for state. Victimised masses served easy fodder for hostile Pakistan. We bleed for sins of our own. BJP spokesperson advocated : 1) Presidents of NC and INC to apologise to seek atonement of their sins committed against people. 2) Centre govt. to issue WHITE PAPER for all it did to build up economically strong state since its accession and failings of the govts of time to help people know who are friends , who are enemies. 3) Proactively we should strive to claim PoK as per resolution passed in Parliament. 4) We need to reach out to Kashmiri people as our own Hindustani with spirit of ‘sevak’ of Bharat as extolled by PM Narendra Modi calling himself Pradhan Sevak.

Rekha urges parents,teachers to induce patriotism among children

13880274_1062857583795939_6479709342623761634_nUnder “Azadi 70 – Jara Yaad Karo Qurbani” Party’s mega programme to remember and pay rich tributes to all those who sacrificed their everything to make India free on this year Independence Day, the Bharatiya Janata Party Mahila Morcha District Jammu President, Mrs Rekha Mahajan today organized a programme at Bawe Bali Gali in an Anganwadi centre.Savita anand District General Secretary conducted the proceedings of the programme Speaking on the occasion, Rekha Mahajan said that children of today have become highly influenced by western culture. As a result, it makes them alien from their own national identity when the present generation should have the sense of patriotism and religious pride. Therefore, parents must try to develop the sense of patriotism in their kids. Through unity and homogeneity of the people of the country, integrity of the nation is made sure, she added.Today’s children being the future of the nation, it is essential to develop the extreme sense of patriotism amongst children from their early days of life. Otherwise, they fail to develop the sense of making sacrifice for the welfare of their society and country when they grow up. In fact the sense of nationalism can also be created in the kids from the study of history. Children should be made realized that history should be learnt not only to score good marks but also to develop the sense of nationalism. The parents and teachers themselves should develop the same outlook only then they can change the way of thinking of their kids, she maintained. Being patriotic towards the nation is everyone’s responsibility. Youth forms a major part of the nation and being patriotic towards it is their major responsibility. While the youth today enjoy their freedom in heritage, they must know the amount of sacrifices the freedom fighters did without any second thought, the activities that happened during the struggle for freedom and the amount of bloodshed that took place, so that we, as a country, can enjoy this peaceful life. So to induce the feeling of patriotism, to make them know the value, it’s something that has to take place from the roots of their childhood. For, a seed will grow to be a huge tree only if it’s watered properly from the beginning, Mrs Mahajan remarked. Surekha ji,Surinder kour, Rinki,Roopali and other activists of morcha were also present on the occasion.

Provide moral, political support to freedom movement in POJK: Brig Gupta

Brig. Anil GuptaWelcoming the remarks made by Prime Minister Modi in his address to the All Parties Meet held at New Delhi asserting that Pakistan Occupied Kashmir is a part of Jammu & Kashmir and dialogue must be initiated with expatriates all over the world from that region, Brig Anil Gupta, state spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party has appealed to the Central government that India should come to the rescue of the people of POJK who are demanding freedom from Pakistan. Ever since the announcement of the results of recently held rigged elections skies in POJK are reverberating with slogans of ‘Azadi’ with wide spread protests in all major towns like Muzaffarabad, Mirpur, Chinari and Kotli. The protests are spontaneous and expression of disgust and anger over the atrocities committed on them by the Federal government and the Pakistan Army. In fact, the people of Gilgit-Baltistan, also part of Jammu & Kashmir, have also revolted against their exploitation and repression by Pakistan. They have also expressed their anger against massive presence of the Chinese in their region. Since, POJK (including Gilgit-Baltistan) is part of J&K, India is well within its right to provide moral, political and financial support to the people of POJK in their just struggle for freedom from Pakistan, which has been in illegal occupation of these areas since 1948, said Brig Gupta. The spokesperson also welcomed the statement of Prime Minister that Pakistan needs to be exposed globally by highlighting the atrocities being committed by it in POJK and Baluchistan. Prime Minister castigated Pakistan for using air power against its own citizens in North Waziristan. Brig Gupta further said that by stating that the talks will be held with all stakeholders, Mr. Modi has allayed all fears of the people of Jammu and Ladakh and reassured them that no solution will be reached by ignoring them or their interests. The assurance of the Prime Minister to integrate the youth of the state with the ongoing development is also welcome.

Ajatshatru Singh, while appreciating the efforts of the Mahila Morcha in coming forward to reach out the public to remind the supreme sacrifices of the patriots who left the comforts of life and jumped into the freedom struggle, said that every section of the society should contribute in spreading the message of the significance of Independence. He said that through the theme of “Yaad karo Qurbani”, these activists are on roads to remind the people that the country achieved freedom after long struggle and we should not forget our great Indians who are not with us but gave us freedom. Purnima Sharma said that the BJP’s fortnight programmes through different events are meant to take the present generation in the past when our country was treated as slave and thousands of Indians laid down their lives so that their motherland is freed from the British rule. The women also played very important role in the freedom struggle and we salute them. Although we celebrate Independence Day every year but it should not be confined to a ceremony of just hoisting tricolor on 15th August. We should not forget that when we feel pride in claiming that each one of us is living in an independent country, it becomes our duty to also educate the present generation about the events related to the freedom struggle. The BJP has chalked out a variety of programmes and the Mahila Morcha is taking every event as an important part of the country’s history of sacrifices. In this context, the slogan of “Yaad karo Qurbani” is being highlighted so that every Indian citizen when really goes through a patriotic song which has lines of this slogan gets induced a sense of getting united to defeat the designs of all such forces which pose threat to the unity and integrity of the country.

Party holds past governments responsible for present turmoil

bbbb_1061883077226723_3790926049938399019_nTalks within framework of Indian constitution only: BJP BJP State Chief Spokesperson Sunil Sethi, while addressing media persons alongwith State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan at Jammu on Thursday, made it clear that the party stands for talks only within the framework of Indian constitution and any party or organization which honours the constitution is welcomed to share his views and suggestions to bring long lasting peace and normalcy in the state. He said that the present unrest is due to the failure of the past governments of NC and Congress, as similar situations were faced in 2008 and 2010 and no blue print was formulated to deal with such developments. It encouraged Pakistan, separatists, Hurriyat supporters and their over ground workers, who has once again created the turmoil. “Had the past governments not adopted a soft approach towards these elements, the valley would not have suffered losses of lives and property in the ongoing disturbances. As far talks with neighbour country, Sethi said that the only issue which is unresolved between India and Pakistan is to get vacated PoJK from Pakistan and the party honours the 1994 unanimous resolution of Indian Parliament in this regard. He also announced that the party is very clear on the issue of terrorism and stands for punishment to terrorists under the law of the land without any leniency or mercy. Charging some leaders of opposition parties to provoke the people by Tweeting and loading messages during the initial stage of the present outbreak of unrest, Sunil Sethi said that such acts of these leaders added fuel to the fire, which was very unfortunate and are therefore equally responsible for loss of lives and damages in the valley. Both, Balbir and Sethi said that the party had entered into an alliance with the PDP to provide a responsible government with a pledge of ensuring equitable development of all the three regions. Ours is not an alliance of compulsion but the honour of the mandate of the people, they added. Expressing hope of restoration of normalcy in valley at the earliest, Sethi and Balbir said that once the normal life starts there, the party would then stress upon the state government to constitute a committee to formulate a blue print to deal with present like situations besides identifying and punishing the elements responsible for creating trouble in Kashmir.

NC mother of all troubles in J&K: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaBJP State Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta, while responding to the statement of Farooq Abdullah charged the National Conference as being anti-peace and mother of all the troubles in J&K state, particularly in the valley. Prof. Virender said that Pt. Nehru on the persistent assertion of his close friend, Sheikh Mohd. Abdullah, got incorporated Article 370 in Indian constitution and later on entered into an agreement, called 1952 Agreement with him ensuring autonomy to the state except for in the matters related to Defence, Foreign Affairs and Communication and added that Sheikh betrayed his close friend and conspired with the western powers, including USA and Britain to have Jammu & Kashmir as an independent country with full sovereignty. He said that prior to that Jan Sangh President and a towering national leader, Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookherjee died in mysterious circumstances in a jail at Srinagar. He further added that Sheikh rigged 1952 state elections and rejected all the nominations of Praja Parishad candidates ensuring that none reached the state assembly. Prof. Virender narrated that under these circumstance Pt. Nehru was forced to put Sheikh behind the bar. He said after Sheikh’s arrest the situation in Jammu & Kashmir almost remained peaceful during the tenure of Bakshi Ghulam Mohd., G.M. Sadiq and Mir Quasim. He added that in 1975 when Sheikh was again installed as Chief Minister of the state he agreed to the report submitted by DD Thakur Committee that none of the provisions of the Indian Constitution those extended to Jammu and Kashmir State needed reconsideration as all were for the benefit of the people of Jammu & Kashmir state. He said that it was disgusting that when Farooq Abdullah became the Chief Minister of the state he raised the bogy of greater autonomy and pre-1952 position and allowed Pakistan to play its game to destabilize the situation in J&K. He further added that it was during his regime that youth started going to Pakistan to get training of militancy, they when came back indulged in subversive activities in State. During his period strength of madras increased many folds where conspiracy against Indian state was being hatched to spread fundamentalism among Kashmiri youth. This resulted in 1990 situation. Even during Omar Abdullah regime as per the report the number of mosques increased from 150 to 700 and schools from 30 to 150, under the control of Wahbi/Salafi and these preached fundamentalism and prepared the youth for Jehad. The present situation in the valley, infact is creation of Abdullah regime which always propagated separatism and encouraged anti-India feelings among the masses. The flying of Pakistan and ISIS flags were ignored and termed it as childish act. The Kashmir political class remained engaged in vomiting position against India government and India army. Prof. Virender further said that Farooq Abdullah needs to realize that the clock cannot be turned back. The position of Indian constitution introduced with the approval of to state government in the state cannot be withdrawn. Even during NC rule after 1975 about 20 amendments were made in the state constitution. The root cause of Kashmir problem is the Kashmiri leaders who always misguided the people. Jammu and Kashmir is not only Kashmir valley. Kashmiri are not only stake holders, people of Jammu and Ladakh, the Kashmiri Pandits, the POJK refugees are equal stake holders. Even in the valley the silent population of valley who want to remain with India, particularly the Shia and Gujjar communities are equally stake holders. If any political solution is to be worked out people of all the regions of the state and all ethnic groups and minority communities are to be taken into confidence. No solution agreed with Kashmiri leaders can be thrusted upon other sections of the state, who were ignored in the past.

Deal firmly with the prevailing situation in valley: Prof Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta called upon the state government to deal with the present situation prevailing in the valley firmly. He said that there is no option for the government other than meeting the challenge posed by the separatists and militants supported by Pakistan, decisively and with iron hand and added that otherwise the situation would get deteriorated further, day by day and it may not be possible to bring the normalcy back on the track. Prof. Virender Gupta said that at present the morale of the state police, CRPF and other security forces have gone down because of the past happenings, where lot of restrictions have been imposed on them and have not been given appropriate freedom to tackle the situation. He said that this would have dangerous consequences as the miscreants, anti-India elements and terrorists get leverage to do whatever they want as a result the situation in the valley has worsened and if things continue shall lead to dangerous consequences, challenging the integrity of the country and life of the common man of the valley and added that the process of migration of peace living Kashmiri from the valley has already started. Prof. Virender also criticized the leaders of NC and Congress, in particular Omar Abdullah and PCC president, GA MIR for their role in instigating the Kashmiri masses and becoming instrument in deteriorating the situation. He appealed to the people of Kashmir, in particular the Kashmiri youth to shun the path of self destruction and help in restoring the normalcy and added that happening in PoK including Gilgit and Baltistan should be eye opener for them and they should ponder upon the atrocities committed on the people there by Pakistani government and look at the conditions of slavery that has been thrust upon them. Prof. Virender asked the misguided youth to learn lesson from the treatment being meted to the people of Sindh, Blochistan and North Frontier Province who are suffering worst kind of discrimination and facing atrocities under the Punjabi dominated Pakistan rulers and struggling to get freedom from Pakistan? He further added that ultimately Pakistan, in favour of which the slogans are being raised in Kashmir valley going to itself disintegrate, because of the path that it has adopted against people of Sindh, North West Frontier, Blochistan, POK including Gilgit and Baltistan. He said that by resorting to violence, the people of Kashmir are only endangering the very existence of Kashmir. He further said that we should not make Kashmir another Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Prof. Virender Gupta asked all the political parties, civil society, the social groups and the social activists of the state as well as of the country to put their united and coordinate efforts to start interacting with the people of valley, help in lowering their temper to bring back the normalcy and peaceful atmosphere. He said that negative role of any of the section is not going to in any way help the concerned section, being pursued to serve its own political ends as has been observed in the past.

NC’s anti-Jammu bias exposed once again: BJP

Brig. Anil GuptaHaving been fully exposed earlier on numerous occasions for its divisive and discriminatory policies the National Conference once again has openly displayed its step-motherly attitude towards Jammu region by criticizing the opening of IIT in Jammu. NC which has been unabashedly aligning with separatist leaders as well as other pro-Pak elements in the Valley and is responsible for willful neglect of Jammu region by diverting the funds meant for the development of the region is unable to digest the efforts of present BJP-PDP alliance government which is determined to end this discrimination. Holistic and balanced development of all the three regions of the state is the cornerstone of the Agenda of Alliance. The statement issued by the spokesperson of NC questioning the timing of inauguration and blaming the Deputy Chief Minister for being insensitive to the sentiments of Kashmiris is provocative and displays the ignorance of the Party said Brig Anil Gupta, BJP state spokesperson. Brig Gupta said that NC ought to know that all ‘institutes of excellence’ like the IIT follow an academic calendar. The inauguration was planned keeping that in mind because any further delay would have affected the academic routine of the students who have been admitted in this prestigious institution from all over the country on the basis of Common Entrance Test for all IITs. By giving a regional and religious touch to this the NC leadership has once again displayed their ‘mind-set’ and exposed their anti-Jammu bias. NC which is the co-architect of present turmoil and sheds crocodile tears for public consumption actually is busy adding fuel to the fire as is evident from the words and deeds of its leaders. Does the NC has even an iota of sympathy for the traders and businessmen of Jammu who are suffering daily losses worth hundreds of crore due to the ongoing unrest, he questioned? Brig Anil Gupta while refuting the allegation that BJP ministers were absent from the Valley he advised the NC spokesperson to verify his facts before making false allegations. BJP ministers also have to attend to their constituencies and hence their absence from Srinagar should not be made an issue by NC, the spokesperson said. Taking serious note of the statement issued by senior NC leader, Mubarak Gul, in which he criticized the use of pellet-guns by security forces and terming them as lethal, Brig Gupta reminded him that it was the NC government in 2010 that had introduced the pellet gun as a non-lethal weapon.

GST Bill is a historic tax reform: Balbir

Balbir SinghBJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, while terming the passage of Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill as a historic tax reform in the post Independence India, said that it is indeed a step towards bringing uniformity in matters related to taxation throughout the country. He said that it goes to the credit of BJP that it managed to take along all political parties of the country, due to which economic game changer Bill got unanimous approval in Rajya Sabha. The way GST Bill received hundred percent votes in Rajya Sabha is also the reflection of the approval by the political parties towards affecting changes in the decades old present system of taxation. “This Bill is also a milestone in evolving an evolution of ideal tax structure in the country for ensuring rapid economic growth and development”, Balbir said and added that the BJP’s ability to carry all the Members of the House with it in supporting GST Bill is indicative of PM Narendra Modi’s desire to put the country on fast track of growth and glory. Simplification and uniformity of taxes on Services and Goods had been sine-qua-non for ensuring and enabling business and manufacturing to grow and flourish. It would also lead to an easier administration and enforcement by bringing down the current taxes from the level of 25 - 30 percent to 18 percent. The GST will cut down the large number of taxes imposed by the central government and states and lead to the creation of a unified market, which would facilitate seamless movement of goods across states and reduce the transaction cost of businesses. Balbir said that while the existing central taxes include Excise Duty, Service Tax and additional customs duties, the state taxes comprise of Entertainment Tax, Luxury Tax, Lottery Tax, Electricity Duty, Sales Tax, Octroi, Value Added Tax (VAT). The GST will dissolve all the taxes into one making India a single, unified national market. GST will also help corporates by simplifying taxation - it will reduce tax on tax, reduce tax compliance burden, and there will be more transparency and efficiency as it will reduce corruption and increase competitiveness.

Congress needs to set its own house in order first: BJP

Lotus Logo copyThe joint statement issued by a few senior Congress leaders accusing BJP-PDP Govt of following footsteps of separatists is not only misleading but smacks of a bigger conspiracy to hoodwink the people of Jammu. The statement has also exposed the dual-face of Congress whose leaders in Kashmir and at the Centre are openly making pro-separatist statements not only now but ever since they have been shown the door by the people. What explanation have these leaders to give to the people of Jammu over their Valley based leaders openly aligning with the separatists to oppose establishment of Sainik Colony and Kashmiri Pandit colonies in Kashmir, questioned Prof Virender Gupta and Brig. Anil Gupta, State Spokespersons of Bharatiya Janata Party in a joint statement issued by the Party? “It was the Congress President with his cronies who sat on ‘Dharna’ opposing establishment of Sainik Colony at Srinagar on the very first day of the opening of the summer secretariat at Srinagar. Similarly, on the issue of NEET, these leaders supported the separatists and openly advocated that NEET should not be applicable to J&K because of its special status, whereas the concerned authorities had already clarified that they would merely be conducting an all-India exam and preparing state-wise merit lists”, reminded the spokespersons. Referring to the ongoing turmoil in Kashmir, Brig Gupta said that stand of the Congress throughout has been pro-separatist. Citing examples and challenging the Congress party to refute them he asked “Did Ghulam Nabi Azad not refer to POJK as ‘Azad Kashmir’ in his speech in the Parliament during discussion on Kashmir? Isn’t this the language of separatists? Did Jyotiraditya Scindia demand “Rai Shumari (Plebiscite)” while participating in the same debate? Was it accidental or part of a pro-separatist design?” Despite whatever Jammu based leaders of the Congress may say they are not in sync with the rest of the leaders of their party. They are fooling only themselves if they think that by shedding crocodile tears they will be able to hoodwink the wise and intelligent people of Jammu. The statements of leaders like Mani Shankar Aiyyar, P Chidambaram and Saif-ud-din Soz advocating ‘greater autonomy’ is nothing but betrayal of the people of Jammu and Ladakh who are equal stake-holders and are opposed to the very idea of ‘greater autonomy’ that smacks of separatism. It is obvious beyond doubt that the Jammu based leaders of Congress either have been divorced by their party or they are issuing statements for their own political survival which do not gel with the actual ‘pro-separatist’ stand of their valley based and Central leadership said Brig Gupta. Prof Gupta also demanded a clarification from the Congress about the statement of UN proclaimed terrorist Hafiz Saeed, the master-mind of current turmoil in Kashmir, praising Congress and its few leaders for supporting the Kashmiri cause. He advised the Congress leaders to show solidarity with the government and security forces in this hour of crisis rather than indulging in political gimmicks.

LET’S GOVERN & NOT BE TRAPPED BY FAILED LEADERS

SS BijralFailed and rejected leaders of Congress/ National Conference are trying their best to trap BJP/PDP govt. functionaries in verbal duel to distract them from governance people badly need and to stay in news for no reason. We ought to govern and not be trapped. There is no reason for ‘Burhan Wani’ issue to drag this far especially by those who enjoyed power for decades contributing only ills. Their courting a controversy over CM Mehbooba Mufti statement regarding encounter killing of militant is a crafted design, said former IGP S.S.Bijral, BJP state spokesperson. He said leaders who dealt with people through ’twitter’, administered through ‘twitter’ during governance and miserably failed, so much that electorates showed them the door, are focussed to render coalition govt defensive, withdrawn from suffering masses to end up a failure for their return back to power. Bijral said ‘Burhan Wani’ the upcoming young militant commander, like any other taking to gun, knew the fate of such a course. His death, he said, was a major success of security forces and a major setback for the militant organisation. It’s a non issue forces knew of his presence or not. What CM Mehbooba Mufti said about the incident, a major operational success, is a significant statement set to restore normalcy to ameliorate the compounded sufferings of gullible folks reeling under nearly three weeks of hartals and curfew. The spokesperson said fight against militancy, a proxy war, unleashed by our neighbour is to take little longer as Pakistan, not learning lesson being devoured by terrorism back home, is set at annexing Kashmir, an integral part of India. The security forces are performing commendably in difficult situations fighting militancy. They would serve nation addedly by avoiding civil casualties to the extent possible. It’s a tragedy that J&K, a border state, is a victim of mis-governance with leaders betraying people trust ever since independence least bothered the state was rated ‘the most corrupt state’ under their rule. Those very leaders , Bijral said, were now shedding crocodile tears to get back to power. He urged upon those in governance to not fall into opposition trap and invest 24x7 to provide succour- the healing touch- to the needy crying in wait.

Extremists still moving freely in Pakistan: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta said that Kashmiri leaders including Omar Abdullah and M.Y. Tarigami who always demand talks with Pakistan, inspite of Pakistan being involved in inflicting thousands cuts and waging a proxy war against India by promoting and supporting terrorist activities in the valley, to resolve the Kashmir issue should acquaint themselves about the views expressed by Former Pakistan Ambassador to United States, Hussain Haqqani in Bengalaru who had come for an interactive session in respect of his book India Vs Pakistan, why can’t we be friends. As per Haqqani statement he has stated that unless terrorism is taken off the table completely, he does not see any Indian “who can more forward with normal relations with Pakistan”. He also said that the present political environment and circumstances in Pakistan are not conducive to strike normalization with India, because extremists like Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar are still operating and moving freely in Pakistan. Haqqani has further said that it would be much better to adopt the approach of building a good relationship as a means of solving problems rather than insisting first on solving Kashmir problem that has not been solved for the past 69 years. Prof. Virender also drew attention of the Kashmir youth who are being misguided by the separatist leader and pro-Pak elements to have a glance on the situation in PoK including Gilgit and Baltistan. He drew their attention to the just recently held elections in PoK which have been rigged by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz in its favour and as a result of which there were strong mass protests in Muzaffarabad, Kotli, Chinari, Mirpur and other places. It was confirmed by Pakistan Human Rights Group that corrupt practices involving money and muscle power had been marshaled to subvert the electoral verdict of the people. The protestors alleged that elections in PoK have always been fixed in favour of the federal ruling party. Rather than being in thrall of Pakistan and PoK, the youth of the valley should get inspired by the democratic secular ethos and culture of the Indian state and strive to achieve their full potential in life in free India. The ISI and Pakistan have their axe to grind against India for imagined grievances and youth of the valley should not get swayed by the Pakistan’s religious exhortions to the detriment of their career and life.

NC is dishonest to the valley People: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaState BJP Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta while rebutting the statement of Omar Abdullah that India has been dishonest with the people of Kashmir, said that it is not Government of India but the leaders of valley, in particular those of National Conference who not only betrayed the people of Kashmir but also has been dishonest to the Government of India. To please Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, the Grand Pa of Omar Abdullah, Pt. Nehru sacrificed the national interests and inspite of great opposition, got incorporated Article 370 in the Indian constitution and after that made an agreement with Sheikh which is called Delhi agreement, thus creating a state within a state. But Sheikh ditched Pt. Nehru and the people of J&K also when he started doing hobnobbing with western powers to make Kashmir as an independent country and Nehru had to get his arrested for the treason acts. In 1975 inspite that Congress had majority in the state assembly and Sheikh was not even member of the state legislature, it gave the chair of Chief Ministership to him under Indira-Sheikh Accord of 1975. From 1975 till 1990 and also from 1996 to 2015 it was mostly the NC that remained in power. It is for Omar Abdullah to explain the reasons that why the people lost the trust of the J&K government and also of Government in India and that they resorted to gun culture. Can Omar elaborate the steps taken by NC to bring the people of Kashmir in the national main stream? Unfortunately, the National Conference tried to poison the mindset of Kashmiri people against the government of India and for its own follies painted the Centre government responsible in the eyes of the Kashmir masses. Earlier, during the reign of Bakshi Gulam Mohammad, G M Sadiq and Mir Quasim people of Kashmir were mostly in the national mainstream and considered India as their country except for a small fringe section. The situation started taking turn after 1983, it worsened after 1988 and became critical in 1990 and during this period it was NC which was in power though Congress party was also an alliance partner after 1987 elections. The claim of Omar Abdullah that protests are not against the state administration or state apparatus but these are purely anti-India in nature. But can Omar Abdullah answer that who is responsible for this anti-India nature of the protests? Are the leaders of political parties who were running the governments after 1975 not responsible for the drastic change in the situation and mindset of the Kashmiri masses? What were the factors responsible for the defeat of NC in 2002 and 2014? Do these factors not point the disenchantment of the people from the government led by NC. Prof. Virender said that Omar pleads for political solution and talks of Greater Autonomy and blames Indian government of erosion of Article 370 and added that the amendments in the State Constitution and extension of some of the Articles/Clauses of Indian Constitution were made with the approval of state government; even during NC rule after 1975, about than 20 amendment were made in the State Constitution. He asked Omar what type of political solution can satisfy the separatist leaders like Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz and Yasin Malik to whom Omar calls as stake holder? Can Omar and P. Chidambaram give guarantee that so called anti-India feelings among Kashmiri masses shall die down if so called grand autonomy was provided to valley. Prof. Virender reminded Omar that people of Jammu region, Ladakh region and a good percentage of masses of valley do not subscribe to, rather oppose the Great Autonomy and said that he or any of the Kashmiri leaders does not have any authority to thrust their wishes or the solution that they propound on the majority of the state population, particularly on Jammu and Ladakh regions.

Commenting on a press note issued by Congress titled, “BJP’s Attitude towards J&K unfriendly

Brig. Anil GuptaCommenting on a press note issued by Congress titled, “BJP’s Attitude towards J&K unfriendly”, Brig Anil Gupta, state spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party said, “Truth is always bitter to swallow is a well-known universal fact. The Congress Spokesperson would have done well by giving a point by point rebuttal of the stated facts rather than giving a sermon to the spokesperson of another political party. In any case, political parties are not mandated to give certificates to other political parties or their leaders, this prerogative rest with the learned public. The job of the political parties is to place facts before the public and leave it for the later to judge.” It is only when the parties are bereft of any issues that they resort to issuing vague statements and levy unsubstantiated allegations as in the instant case, on the other parties. In doing so they forget their past record and performance. By side-tracking the issue to “contribution to the nation of Gandhi-Nehru family”, the Congress spokesperson has accepted the fact that he had nothing to counter the argument that the Kashmir impasse is a legacy of this family. Instead of indulging in blame-game for the current situation Congress will do well to cooperate in restoring the normalcy in Kashmir, advised Brig Gupta. It is true that “Congress needs no certificate of patriotism from BJP” as claimed by the Congress spokesperson but what he has to say to the certificate given by Hafiz Saeed, a proclaimed international terrorist, who in an interview to a Pakistani news channel is reported to have praised a few Congress leaders who said to BJP that, “Pakistan is not responsible for what is happening in Kashmir,” questioned Brig Gupta. Congress party is thoroughly exposed and needs to clarify to the people of Jammu and Ladakh its stand on the demand of ‘greater autonomy’.

No need of talks with the separatists: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaBJP State Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta, welcomed the statement of Union Home Minister, Rajnath Singh that “we do not just want need based ties, but to build an emotional relationship with Kashmir.” He also hailed Rajnath’s statement that “talks will be held with whosoever the Centre can after the restoration of peace with anyone while taking Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir into confidence”. However, Prof. Virender Gupta said that no talks should be held with the separatist leaders like Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Yasin Malik, who are not only responsible for the present situation of Kashmir valley but acting as Pakistan stooges to keep Kashmir boiling for the benefit of Pakistan and working against the interests and integrity of the country. He said that there are number of cases of committing murder of army/security personnel and pro-India elements and instrumental in migration of Kashmiri Pandits and other minority communities, against them. He added that these leaders have waged a war against the India at the behest of Pakistan and favour Kashmir becoming the part of Pakistan. He further added that there is need to pursue vigorously the pending cases against them and action be taken as per the law of the land. He said that this is essential to restore normalcy and peace in the valley. Prof. Virender further said that the stake holders to whom the talks can be held for resolving the Kashmir/J&K issue are people of Jammu region, Kashmir valley, Ladakh region and Kashmiri Pandits, PoJK displaced persons, people of various religious and ethnic groups. He said that people of Jammu and Ladakh regions who have suffered discrimination and political neglect since J&K acceded to India and PoJK displaced persons need more attention in any negotiation to be held. He said that granting of greater autonomy would harm the national interests and the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Ladakh regions as it shall further empower the valley elite and subject the people of these regions to further neglect. Prof. Virender said Kashmir is not Jammu and Kashmir, it merely constitutes 15 percent area of J&K that at present is under Indian jurisdiction with a population about 45 percent of state and added that there is more than about 60 percent silent majority in the valley which has nothing to do with present turmoil and wants to remain the part of Indian democracy.

Kashmir Impasse: Congress and Separatists on same page blames BJP

Brig. Anil GuptaDespite the fact that the problem in Kashmir is a legacy of the Nehru-Gandhi family, its leaders continue to make irresponsible statements adding fuel to the fire. The recent utterances of its prominent national leaders and speeches made in the Parliament smack of a collusion between the separatists, pro-separatist National Conference and other secessionist elements in the Valley who are determined to exploit the current turmoil for their narrow political ends sacrificing the national interest blamed Brig Anil Gupta, state spokesperson of BJP. During the debate in Parliament, its seasoned senior leader and ex-Chief Minister of the state repeatedly referred to Pak Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (POJK) as “Azad Kashmir”, a term used by separatists and Pakistan while its young & upcoming leader Jyotiraditya Scindia asked for “Rai Shumari” (Plebiscite). “It clearly indicates the mind-set and warped thinking of the Congress Party & its leadership”, lamented Brig Gupta. Mani Shankar Aiyar has been reported in a section of media to have stated, “ movement in Kashmir is now not Pakistan-driven but principally indigenous.” He has advocated parallel dialogue with both Pakistan and separatist leadership of Kashmir. Admitting that the problem is the legacy of Nehru-Gandhi family led Congress governments he said, “it is unfortunate that the documents related to Round Table Meetings over Kashmir were buried by successive governments in Delhi.” Mani Shankar knows that it is Congress that has ruled this country for almost six decades, retorted Brig Gupta. Bharatiya Janata Party has already expressed its opposition to the restoration of “grand bargain” proposition of ex- Home Minister Chidambram virtually endorsing the ‘greater autonomy’ demand of National Conference by terming it as “dangerous, anti-Jammu, anti-Ladakh and anti-India.” “While Chidambaram has failed to explain his failure to act when he held the all-important portfolio of Home Minister, his current utterances are not only factually incorrect, untimely, irresponsible but also opportunistic”, blamed Brig Gupta. The BJP spokesperson was also critical of a few self-assessed Jammu - based “nationalists” who have a single point agenda of BJP-bashing and continue to divert the people’s attention from reality at the behest of their erstwhile masters in the Congress. The latest to join the band-wagon of ideologically bereft Congress leaders is the ex-President and former Union Minister Saif-ud- din Soz. Having been dumped by the current leadership of the state and wanting to remain politically relevant in the Valley, he lost no time in seconding the Chidambaram formula. Soz needs to be reminded that as the Congress President in the state not very long ago he strongly opposed the NC demand of ‘Greater Autonomy’. “Soz owes an explanation to the people of this state for the sudden change in heart and his pro-separatist leaning”, demanded Brig Gupta. BJP has also castigated Congress for its refusal to meet the Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh who is visiting Kashmir for first hand assessment of the current situation terming Congress decision as “pro-separatist”.

The programme was organized by BJP senior leader and State Secretary and Prabhari Reasi district, Sh Rajinder Sharma.The aim behind organizing this camp was to fulfill the formalities required for PM Awas Yogna to which most of the people of Jammu and adjoin areas were not eligible for want of relevant documents including Aadhar card etc. On the occasion, Rajinder Sharma said that these camps are being organized to make a feeling among the public about the changing work culture of dispensation for the public good. This document is necessary for availing almost all the central and state sponsored schemes. Pradhan Mantra Awas Yojana, Ujwalla, Atal Pension Yojana, Beti Padao Beti Bachyo Yojana, Jan Dhan Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Suraksha Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Joyti Bema Yojana etc. are such schemes which cannot be completed without Aadhar card and other relevant documents. On the occasion, Rajinder Sharma assured that to bring the benefits to the door steps of masses for healthy and productive democracy wherein people would feel the real change in delivering by the present dispensation, such events would continue to occur in future also.

MP demeaning woman, how is girl’ child safe?

SS BijralWith the unsavoury slur of a MP against tall woman leader of stature resounding, the question bothering mind repeatedly is : How is a girl child safe with a parliamentarian disrespecting woman that too when PM raising the pitch exhorted nation: Beti Bachao Beti Padhao. The atrocious, vicious and ghastly smear from MP Dayashanker Singh against a tall ‘dalit’ woman leader Mayawati, four times CM of UP state, renders the girl child as vulnerable as before no matter strenuous movement launched nationwide under the programme, said S.S. Bijral, a retired IGP and state spokesperson of BJP. He said anything shall come to be valued only when its respected and the value then lasts long. Bijral said in a country warned by UNO as passing through an emergency situation due to sharply falling Child Sex Ratio (CSR) , the derogatory comments of a parliamentarian deserve the strongest condemnation being belittling for a holistic programme like BBBP. Leaders, the spokesperson said are to be role models for correcting the path of those led and strayed and not to lead astray those corrected. The ex-cop who is also the state convener of Beti Bachao Beti Padhao programme slammed the incident as most unfortunate. He fervently appealed to fellow citizens of state of which 9 districts are declared critical due to falling CSR to join heads and hands to check the slide in the no. of girls per one thousand boys by affording protection to girl child through duly respecting women following words of UN Secretary General Ban-Ki Moon : “ Violence against women and girls will not be eradicated until all of us-men & boys- refuse to tolerate it.”

BJP team meets Rajnath Singh, submit memorandum

Lotus Logo copyLed by Party State President & MLA Sat Sharma CA, a team of BJP leaders comprising of Vice-President Dr. Drakashan Andrabi, State General Secretary (Organisation) Ashok Koul, State General Secretary Pawan Khajuria, State Spokesperson Khalid Jahangir, Additional Publicity Secretary Dr. Ali Mohd Mir, Kashmir Protocol Incharge Arif Raja, Kashmir Grievances Cell Incharge Dr. Rafi Ahmed and Kashmir Media Incharge Altaf Thakur, called on Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh at Srinagar on Sunday and submitted a memorandum on prevailing situation in Kashmir, Amaranth yatra, concern for security forces, raising the demand for vacation of PoJK at all International forums, creation of a separate Cell/Department under the Ministry of Home for the State of Jammu and Kashmir, security of minorities and addressing the long pending demands of PoJK and West Pakistan Refugees. Later, Sat Sharma and Ashok Koul also held separate meeting with Rajnath Singh, wherein they discussed party related matters including the role of BJP in the state, party's organizational set up & political activities, major burning issues etc. Copy of the memorandum is hereby attached. Memorandum for kind consideration of Hon’ble Union Home Minister The Hon’ble Union Home Minister, Government of India, New Delhi. Esteemed Sir, The present coalition government of BJP and PDP is the outcome of the mandate of the Jammu and Kashmir regions. While as the BJP is perceived as Jammu party in the valley, the PDP is essentially rooted in the valley. The present coalition government in the state signify the possibility and ability of successfully coming together of a National Party with a regional, Kashmir rooted party, where a large area is disturbed due to Pak inspired, instigated and supported subversion. Hence, the State BJP is of the considered view that the present disturbed conditions in the valley are not result of mere elimination of proclaimed terrorist Burhan Wani by security forces but it has to do with the fact that the present government represents political collaboration and partnership of two diametrically political parties with varied ideologies and to which all political forces in the valley ranging from National Conference, Congress, other smaller political parties, Hurriyat conglomerate as also Pakistan are not reconciled to. Successful governance by BJP coalition is perceived by Pakistan as a strategic disadvantage and negation of all its efforts and the money that it invested in fomenting disturbances in the valley. This change in the political calculus of Pakistan and anti-national forces has increased the burden on security forces and they are required to respond more vigorously and robustly. The BJP is of the considered view that no such statements, actions and advisories be issued which may demoralize the security forces and decrease their effectiveness in combating the menace of terrorism. The BJP is also of the opinion that conducting of the holy yatra of Shri Amarnath is considered by all the anti-national and communal forces in the valley as an affront to their standing and for all what they stand for. The yatra is not merely some people praying and paying obeisance at Amarnath Cave but is an act indicating the oneness of the country and Jammu and Kashmir being an integral part of it. Therefore, it is of prime importance that the yatra proceeds continuously and successfully which would deny the anti-national elements any satisfaction of success and would, on the contrary, demoralize them. This will also ensure that the local people are economically benefitted. The BJP would respectfully point out that tourism industry is also governed to by the same logic to some extent. The Pakistan instigated disturbances in the valley want disaffection and demoralisation to prevail in the people of the valley as the tourist industry is the backbone of the local economy. It has become a annual practice to create disturbed conditions during the yatra and peak tourist season, which is a matter of concern. The minorities in the valley are made to feel insecure so that the peace efforts and return of Kashmiri migrants to valley get frustrated and derailed. The security of minorities in the valley should be enhanced so that their confidence to stay in the valley does not get shattered. The State unit of BJP states with satisfaction and happiness that in spite of grave provocations and stress, the people of Jammu have displayed unity and maintained communal harmony and peace. The State BJP would request that the Government of India should raise the demand for vacation of PoJK at all International forums, resolutely and vigorously. We also feel that the Government of India should create a separate Cell/Department under the Ministry of Home for the State of Jammu and Kashmir to keep a regular watch on the situation and suggest appropriate measures to bring the people of Kashmir in National main stream. The Party also take this opportunity to call upon the union government to address the long pending demands of PoJK and those of West Pakistan Refugees.

Cong playing politics in the name of Dalits: Balbir

Balbir SinghWhile reacting to the statement of Dr. Manohar Lal Sharma, a former minister & Senior leader of Congress, that BJP was trying to suppress voice of Dalits and down trodden members of the society, BJP State Spokesperson, Balbir Ram Rattan said that Congress leader need to do self introspection. The treatment meted to Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar and atrocities committed on the Dalits during the Congress rule at the centre and in the states forced the isolation of the Dalits from the Congress Party and gave rise to Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), itself shows how much concern Congress had for Dalits. As far Dayashanker episode, the Spokesperson made it clear that the BJP acted swiftly to not only condemn the act but also expelled him from the party but what Congress has to say on public abuses made by BSP leaders and its cadre against the mother, wife and sister of Dayashanker. Balbir said that BJP, right from the time of its birth, remained engaged in the upliftment of SCs, STs and down trodden people and worked hard to win the confidence of these communities. That is the reason the most of its leaders belong to these communities and BJP both in the states, including J&K and at the Centre, has maximum number of MPs and MLAs belonging to SC communities. Whereas in Congress most of the leaders and their MPs and MLAs belong to so called upper castes and there is very less representation of SC communities in the party structure as well as in the Parliament and Assemblies. Elaborating his point, he said that the basic economic philosophy of BJP is based on the principal of “Antodaya” as propagated by Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya, which aims at reaching the last man in the row without any discrimination on the basis of caste or religion. Various schemes lanched by Modi government in last 2 years target this segment of the population, which remained neglected during all the previous Congress governments. He further said that the Narendra Modi has adopted the line of “Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas” which further strengthens the BJP’s core principle of justice to all and appeasement to none. Balbir advised the Congress leaders not to play politics in the name of Dalits as this community is well informed today and can differentiate as to who is really committed towards them “The BJP has maximum MPs and MLAs across the country and in Jammu and Kashmir also it won all the seven reserved seats in the assembly”, Balbir said and added that it is itself endorsement of the fact that people want to get associated with BJP and reject Congress, which always indulged in vote bank politics.

NC’s boycott of all party meet exposes its double-standards: BJP

HarinderOpposition party least interested in restoration of peace, normalcy in Kashmir: Harinder Bharatiya Janata Party has lashed out at the National Conference for its double standards, saying the party has been brazenly exposed in the state after it skipped the All-Party Meeting called by Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehooba Mufti to discuss security situation and restore normalcy in Kashmir Valley.

It believes that the people are keenly observing these developments and they will teach them (National Conference) a lesson in near future. Terming the reasons put forth for the boycott by NC as fabricated and meaningless, BJP State General Secretary Harinder Gupta has said that had the National Conference been sincere in contributing in restoration of normalcy and peace in the state, it would have attended the meeting without any excuse. Harinder Gupta said that the National Conference, which is the largest opposition party in the state, has failed to prove its commitment towards coming forward and sit with the government to discuss the situation and suggest ways and means which could prove to be effective in sailing the valley out of the current turmoil. The BJP General Secretary said that the NC leadership, before taking a decision to boycott the All Party Meet, must have kept in mind that the annual Amarnath Yatra is being performed these days and every stakeholder should contribute for immediate restoration of peace and normalcy so that the pilgrims return to their native places safely from the State Gupta said that the meeting was called by the Chief Minister to discuss and seek suggestions to control the situation but boycotting the same by NC has cast a doubt about its role in the present turmoil. “The NC leader and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah met the Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and also the State Governor on the present situation but he did not bother to attend the All Party Meet, which was an appropriate platform to express views and help the government in taking a unanimous decision to tackle the situation”, he said. Harinder Gupta said it was clear in the given circumstances that the NC was enacting a drama and want to remain in good books of the separatists and the elements who are further exploiting the situation rather than playing constructive politics in the current turmoil.

P. Chidambaram statement is dangerous for the country: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaState BJP Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta strongly criticized the statement of former Home Minister, P. Chidambaram given in an interview with Karan Thapar on India Today on Wednesday, advocating restoring the “Grand Bargain” under which Kashmir acceded to India by granting a large degree of autonomy, warning that otherwise the Country will have to pay “heavy Price”. He said the P. Chidambaram formula is dangerous for the integrity of the country and has serious repercussions. He further said that it looks that P. Chindambaram has of a little knowledge about Jammu and Kashmir State and the circumstance under which Jammu and Kashmir acceded to Indian Union. He added that it was Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir who signed the Instrument of Accession, of course, that was endorsed by Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah who was a popular leader only of Kashmir Valley but had no following in Jammu and Ladakh regions and said that no condition was attached at the time of accession by Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah. He further said that Mr. Chidambaram, though, remained Home Minister of India is ignorant of the geography, demography, psyche and aspirations of the people of all the regions of Jammu and Kashmir State. Prof. Virender said that Kashmir is not Jammu and Kashmir, Kashmir constitutes merely about 15 percent area of Jammu and Kashmir State, that is presently with India whereas it has population less than 50 percent of the State Population. He further said that, People of Jammu and Ladakh regions are against granting any autonomy to the State, instead they plead for removal of article 370 and consider it as hindrance in the progress and development of the state and bringing the people of Kashmir into National mainstream and added that the article contributed in the alienation of the people of Jammu and Kashmir State. He said that even in the Valley there is a good population of Gujjar Bakkarwals, Shia Muslims who constitute 45% of Kashmir population and a good proportion among Sunni Muslims who support the Indian cause and do not support either Azadi or Jammu and Kashmir as part of Pakistan. Prof. Virender added that Sheikh deceived Pt. Nehru who was instrument in the introduction of article 370 in Indian constitution and made 1952 agreement with Sheikh. He said that Sheikh Abdullaha later on started hob nobbing with western powers to make Jammu and Kashmir as an independent State, out of the Indian territory as a result Pt. Nehru was compelled to put Sheikh behind the bars. The Spokesperson said that granting the so called the grant autonomy to Jammu and Kashmir amounts to ignoring the aspirations of the people of Ladakh and Jammu regions and a large nationalist population of Kashmir Valley and added that even the separatists who are inspired by the fundamentalism and propagating Jehad will not be satisfied. Prof. Virender further added that granting grand autonomy shall lead to separation of Jammu and Kashmir (in particular Kashmir) from India. He said that at this juncture efforts should be made to bring peace and normalcy in the valley, dealing the separatists and terrorists with iron hand, however, the ultimate solutions lies in the abrogation of article 370, taking steps to bring the people of Kashmir Valley in the national mainstream.

Cong leaders lowering their stature by raking up non issues : BJP

Balbir SinghThe state unit of BJP has termed sermonising by Congress leaders on non issues as a futile exercise, contending that all such issues have been created by the Congress party during their rule on account of scams laced mis-governance and wrong doings on all fronts. BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan said that by doing this, the Congress leaders are themselves lowering their own stature. The negative and sterile politics will not act as oxygen to their comatose party, which is in an irreversible decline mode, he said. The way senior and responsible leaders of the Congress are behaving and making daily statements, raking up non-issues, are thereby exhibiting only their frustration on account of being out of power, he said adding that with such tactics they are trying to ensure their political survival. Balbir, while expressing disapproval of the statement from the tall Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, who in a recent statement said that what was happening in the state was the "Gujarat model", termed it as most unfortunate. “It is just one instance displaying the hollowness, lack of sense of responsibility and maturity to react or make statements on sensitive issues and that too from none other than a leader of the stature of Ghulam Nabi Azad ”, Balbir lamented and added that not a single day passes when one leader or the other from the Congress makes public statements that are utterly baseless, against the ground realities or aimed at flaring already volatile situation in the valley. It is highly unfortunate that when valley is on the boil on account of Pakistani machinations and when all parties ought to have a united stand to restore peace in the valley, almost the entire leadership of Congress in Jammu & Kashmir is in a rat race in criticizing and running down the efforts of the government and security forces to calm the situation in the valley, he observed. Balbir Ram Rattan said that the Congress has remained in power in Jammu and Kashmir for maximum time after independence. The Congress ruled this border State on its own or enjoyed power as a coalition partner, when they just ignored many sensitive issues or failed to address the public sentiments. He said that BJP has been in power in Jammu and Kashmir for just one year only and those who ruled it for decades are trying to put blame on present coalition for their past misdoings and wrong- policies. Public is much more aware about the present day politicians, which is why it pays no heed to the utterings of the leaders of Congress and others, the BJP spokesperson said.

Monsoon valley violence showers send hibernating leaders croaking

SS BijralKashmir violence over elimination of Burhan Wani HM commander proved a blessing in disguise for political leaders ignored and forgotten for their failings. Sent hibernating at the 2014 hustling, they got croaking under monsoon shower of violence in valley. S.S. Bijral IGP (Rtd), BJP State Spokesperson, responding to speech in parliament of Congress leader Gh. Nabi Azad former J&K Chief Minister, said it was relieving knowing Azad voiced concern against valley violence. But he asked were they only to sympathies with youth for their bleeding wounds and not for the ‘bleeding hearts’ these leaders including those of National Conference left during decades of their misrule known for rigged elections, wide spread corruption, regionalism, power politics that has thrown the unemployed & frustrated youth into deeper gorge of poverty and drugs. Bijral said these leaders as true ‘politicians’ concerned themselves with next elections and never thought of next generations the’ statesmen’ are known to care for. Leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha Gh Nabi Azad by saying that cause of the present unrest in valley was BJP joining the govt. with PDP exposed his party hurting malaise as their offer of unconditional support to form govt was rejected by PDP. Bijral said, “dard itna gehra aur takleef deih ki chhupaya na gya (painful wound too deep to be concealed).” He lamented that these leaders who betrayed people trust for decades can’t bear to be out of power. Bijral wondered if CM Mehbooba not visiting those injured in violence was unforgivable, Tweeted by Omar Abdullah ex- CM, what was that when Omar Abdullah’s government enmass had forsaken Kashmiris during months long worst deluge due to floods and Air Force & Army assisted by local youth served as saviour. He reminded NC working president his govt. utter failure only crowned BJP & PDP with brilliant success. It was lack of concern for ballooning youth by state leaderships of times that they fell prey to exploitative propaganda of Pak backed militant groups, separatists and drugs. Bijral asked brilliant, intelligent, and handsome youth of state to come forward, take lead dumping the stereotype leadership that earned this state status of ‘beggar state’ falling far behind other progressive states.

Addressing the participants of this cleanliness campaign Vibodh informed that the Mankote park in Rajouri was created with a estimated cost of Rs. 10 crore, is in a real bad shape today. He further added that at the time of creation of this park 11 daily wage workers were employed. But from the past five years they are also out of this service. Currently there is no one who can take care of this massive assets created by tourism department. This he said has defeated the very purpose behind the creation of such a park. Vibodh also highlighted the fact that in a area like Pir Panjal such assets can play a very vital role in tourism promotion. This he said can lead to job creation in various areas of tourism in Pir Panjal. He regretted that due to short term planning of our planners such huge investments remain of no use. He called upon Hon’ble CM Madam Mehbooba Mufti who also hold the tourism portfolio in the state to look into this matter and direct the concerned officials to take all necessary steps to ensure that such vital tourism properties are maintained properly. BJP District General Secretary Atam Gupta while appreciating the efforts of the volunteers in such a initiative thanked the participants for their sincere efforts in cleaning the park.

Jammu based opposition leaders’ silence amounts to consent: BJP

Brig. Anil Gupta“Despite repeated queries made to Jammu based opposition leaders to clarify their stand on the acts/statements of their Valley based bosses and colleagues which are anti-national and detrimental to the interests of the people of Jammu region, they have chosen to remain silent. It is now amply clear that by remaining silent they have fully endorsed the acts of their valley-centric bosses and ditched the people of Jammu who had pinned their hopes in them by giving them their mandate. It is also amply evident that they have no loyalty towards their own people but have surrendered themselves before their bosses who are least bothered about Jammu and its people”, stated Brig Anil Gupta, state spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party. The people of Jammu must know that these leaders are demanding greater autonomy and pre-1953 status for the State which implies that the state will be without a Constitution since the constitution came into effect on 26 January 1957; the state would return to permit-raj for entry into the state as it was abolished only in 1954; Supreme Court of India will have no jurisdiction and people of the state will be denied all the benefits enjoyed by them as Indian citizens. Will their demand benefit the people of Jammu in any way, questioned Brig Gupta. Elaborating the recent acts of these leaders Brig Gupta said that their opposition to NEET smacks of a conspiracy against the students of Jammu region who have so far been victims of favouritism and partiality by the BOPEE. While the students of Jammu region were heaving a sigh of relief some of their selfish leaders were conspiring with their valley –based leaders who termed it as an “assault on the special status of the state”, just to please the separatists. Similarly, the opposition to the Sainik Colonies and Kashmiri Pandit settlements while singing the same tune as that of the separatists, the Valley based leaders of all parties exposed their secular credentials but their Jammu based legislators and leaders chose to remain silent thus signalling their tacit approval. Their stoic silence on the Amendments to Transfer of Property and Alienation of Land Acts that would adversely affect the rights of Jammu women married outside the state and deprive Jammu region of outside investment has proved beyond doubt that their surrender to their Kashmiri bosses is final and ultimate. The opposition leaders are thoroughly exposed before the people as they have been merely making statements and shedding crocodile tears to mislead the innocent people of Jammu region. BJP appeals to the people of Jammu region to decide themselves as to who is their real well-wisher?

BJP rebuffs the Congress leaders allegations: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta while commenting upon press conference addressed by Ambika Soni and Salman Khurshid said that the present situation in Kashmir valley is the result of the wrong policies pursued by the Congress party at the Centre and National Conference and Congress alliance government in the state. Militancy raised its heads during the alliance government of Congress and National Conference and the situation in the valley became out of control of the state government and civil administration in 1990 when Govt. of India had to send Jagmohan as Governor in the state. The leaders of NC and those of Congress left the valley and some of them even the state/country to save themselves from the onslaught of the terrorism. He said that violence turbulent by the militants and the separatists are happening intermittently in the valley after 1990. He reminded Congress leaders the happenings of 2008 and 2010 which occurred when Congress party was partner in government and in 2010 when about 120 so called stone pelters were killed. Prof. Virender Gupta criticized the Congress leaders for not uttering single word in favour of security personnel to boost their morale who are controlling the situation under very constrained and odd circumstances while keeping all possible restrain in dealing with the mass upsurge. He said that there was no disproportionate and excessive use of force in the present turmoil and added that the violent mob attacked the police stations, looted the ammunition with no option left for the police to retaliate. Among the injured persons about 50% are those from security personnel. Prof. Virender while reminding the Congress leaders that Congress-NC alliance government did not take the cognizance when the Pakistani and ISIS flags were being raised on every Friday and stones were pelted on security forces and said that these events encouraged the separatists as well as the Jehadis who were working for the Islamization of the whole of world. The indifferent attitude of then alliance government has culminated to the present situation. Prof. Virender said the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made number of attempts, which were even criticized by Congress party to reach out Pakistan to discuss the bilateral issues to bring peace in the subcontinent. The state government as well as GOI is approaching all sections of the society to bring normalcy in the valley. He charged that uncalled for statements and Tweets of Omar Abdullah and comparing the present situation to Modi Model by Ghulam Nabi Azad are provocative statements those do not help in bringing normalcy. Prof. Virender Gupta said that persons like Sayed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Yasin Malik are not the stake holders as being proclaimed by some pseudo intelligential they are basically stooges of Pakistan and added that the real stake holders are PoJK refugee, Kashmiri Pandits and people of Jammu and those of valley and Ladakh.

Reacting to the recent happenings in the state, Ghulam Ali Khatana said that lot of blood has be spilt because of trust deficit and assured that his government is working overtime to redress the problems of the youth. Urging youth and their parents not to put their lives at risk, Ghulam Ali said those opposition forces whose hands are in blood are trying to exploit the situation just for their political gains and vested interests must be understood wisely. How can anyone whose hands are in blood be a saviour or sympathizer, he questioned urging people not to fall a prey to rumours and misleading statements and instead allow the situation to return to normal. Blaming Congress and National Conference for the mess the state was in today, Ghulam Ali said that it was faulty approach adopted by Pt Nehru that 60 years later also, certain vested interests are able to incite youth in the name of dispute which actually does not exist. He said that it was infact Sheikh Abdullah who misguided Nehru into limiting the Indian Army when she was recapturing the areas of Kashmir which are now with Pakistan in the shape of ‘Pakistan Administered Kashmir.’ Ghulam Ali further said that the only agenda of Government of India is to recapture PAK and unite Kashmir. He blamed Hurryiat and other separatist for mis-guiding the youth and getting them killed, whereas their own are living in foreign countries having best of facilities emanating from the blood of poor Kashmiris. He came down heavily on Omar Abdullah who he blamed for the recent mess. He further said that it was infact Omar who instigated people by tweeting that Bhuran Wani was not a militant during his tenor as chief minister, whereas father of the deceased had admitted that his son had joined ranks some 6 years back. Was it that National Conference which was covertly helping the Hibz into rejuvenating its cadre when they were in power. Khatana appealed to Narendra Modi to personally intervene and order a probe into the activities of National Conference. He further reminded the prime minister of his approach towards Kashmir, where he said that he will have Insaniat, Kashmirat and Jhoomiraat as guiding principals in dealing with Jammu and Kashmir development.

BJP always stood for welfare of women: Rekha

13654160_1041856322562732_582445944233734580_nStating that the Bharatiya Janata Party has always stood for the welfare of the women, party Mahila Morcha Jammu District President Rekha Mahajan said that launching of a number of welfare schemes by Prime Minister Narendra Modi government at the centre stands testimony to and endorsement of the fact which reflects the concern of the party and its government towards the women. She said that on one hand schemes for social and economic empowerment of women are being launched by Modi government, here in Jammu & Kashmir also, the BJP coalition government has taken various initiatives for the welfare of women. She added that BJP was the first political party in the country which had granted 33 per cent reservation to women in its organizational setup, which further strengthens the faith of the women, who have been getting associated with it in large numbers and BJP Mahila Morcha has its activists in every area of the state of Jammu & Kashmir. Both, the BJP and its governments at the centre and in the state are working with commitment for them but the opposition parties and their leaders cannot digest the same. “It is unfortunate that some leaders of opposition parties are constantly engaged in malicious propaganda against BJP-PDP government in the state and BJP led NDA government at the Centre. These leaders are trying to mislead the people by raising issues which are far away from the realities and the people are not going to fall in their trap as they can understand their motives”, Rekha said and added that these parties have ruled the country for decades at the Centre as well as the J&K state for long period but did nothing concrete on the ground. Now they, out of their sheer frustration and after being out of power, are trying to mislead the people to gain the political ground which they have lost. Rekha Mahajan said that it is not only the women for whom the Union government is concerned but the NDA has also displayed its pain and concern for the farmers, women, poor, youth and other down trodden sections of the society and hence specific schemes have been launched for each of them, which shows that the Prime Minister believes in taking all along in matters related to development and welfare and his slogan of “Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas” is being visible in his programmes and policies.

Opposition against PRA for sake of opposition: BJP

Balbir Ram RattanThe furore raised by leaders of opposition parties over recent amendment in J&K Panchayati Raj Act (PRA) is nothing but criticism merely for the sake of opposition. They are up in arms against this amendment without giving a thought to this concept envisaged after a considerate thought by the incumbent alliance government in the state. This was stated by the State BJP Spokesperson Balbir Rattan Ram, while commenting on loud noises made by the opposition on the issue. Elaborating on the reason that necessitated this step, the Spokesperson contended that by introducing amendment in the Panchayati Raj Act, the present BJP coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir has brought uniformity in democratic institutions at all levels. He charged the opposition parties of misleading and playing politics on the issue and displaying the cheapest kind of politics, which he said, is very unfortunate and unhealthy for the democratic system of the country. It is more like an obstructionist approach rather than understanding its basic concept, he added. Balbir Ram Rattan said that much hue and cry being made by the Congress, NC and Panthers Party is unjustified and indicates that these parties do not recognize the democratic set up of the country and rejects the present system, under which the democracy at the lowest level is made to flourish without any bias or prejudice. “Before going on streets and opposing the amendment, it would have been better had any of the leader of these parties gone through the concept behind the amendment, Balbir said adding that it is on pattern of the system applicable for electing Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, MLCs, Heads of Corporations, Councils and Committees, which are the examples of true democracy. Under this set up, MPs elect Prime Minister, MLAs elect Chief Minister, Corporators elect Mayor and so on. Now with amendment in PRA, the Panches will have the right to elect Sarpanch and there is nothing wrong in it. Criticizing the approach of opposition parties, Balbir advised that instead of indulging in opposition for the sake of opposition, which only displays deep frustration of Congress, NC and Panthers for their political survival, these parties ought to raise issues which really effect the people and the government welcomes the health criticism.

Terming it as very unfortunate the previous congress led government has ignored this area for the one or other reasons and only big claims of development were made, the quality of works during the present regime can be measured from the fact that the blacktopping works are being carried out with a guaranty rider of three years. While addressing the functions at these places, he said that few people are engaged in misguiding the innocent people regarding various development projects and their execution, it should be clear in everyone’s mind that all the development related works are being planned and carried out only on the direction of the government and if anyone has any grievance; he can directly come to his Gandhi Nagar office for its redressal, he added.

Kashmiri youth wiser than so-called leaders

SS BijralWhen situation in Kashmir demands saner and wiser heads to douse flames of unrest, statement of former Chief Minister, in contrast to that of valley young minds confirms that the youth of Valley is wiser than so called Kashmiri leaders with Omar Abdullah included. Burhan Wani, the Hizbul Mujahideen commander carried a reward of Rs ten lakhs on his head. His killing with his two close associates in anti-militancy operation is perceived a major success. The reward he carried reveals of threat he posed. For reason of his age, reach and acceptability the ensuing reaction is on expected lines. At this critical juncture statement of former CM Omar Abdullah that Kashmir’s “disaffected have got “a new icon” in his death has amazed all . Omar said, “Mark my words – Burhan’s ability to recruit into militancy from the grave will far outstrip anything he could have done on social media. BJP state spokesperson S.S.Bijral, former IGP termed statement Of NC President as irrational, obsessive and driven by desire to sail in two boats – choose as per suitability. He said when flames of civilian violence call for dousing, NC leader, in whose tenure 110 youths had lost life in security forces firing, fuels it. Had he been in power, he would have taken all credit instead. Pained over loss of life of our own people, the young, who need better counselling and guides, Bijral, constrained, recalled words of wisdom of Benjamin Franklin: “The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.” Former IGP Bijral lauded statement ofJunaid Qureshi, Kashmiri rebel leader Hashim Qureshi’s son, questioning real motive of separatist leaders who have all along kept their family members out of the harm way. Junaid threw a poser to so called Kashmiri leaders,”If jihad is so pious, why don’t you (separatists) or your children pick it (gun) up.” “Unfortunately, poor people’s sons are dying on streets and you (separatists) are glorifying it. Children of these leaders are tucked away in safe environments in schools in Malaysia, America, London or India. We picked up guns 26 years ago, what have we achieved. People died. This must end.” Bijral welcomed the statement of Junaid Qureshi and said its for all to see ‘the mouth of wise Junaid Qureshi is in his heart’. Lot many must be nurturing same feelings, he said. Bijral, reminding the likes of Junaid Qureshi, the visionary and bright youth of Kashmir of whom many have cracked civil services exam with brilliance, called upon them to deliberate on words of wisdom of Socrates : “THE SECRET OF CHANGE IS TO FOCUS ALL YOUR ENERGY, NOT ON FIGHTING THE OLD, BUT ON BUILDING THE NEW.” He said under the new young, dynamic leadership of Mehbooba Mufti, who is led by her heart and has far sighted vision to build the poor long suffering state, under changed promising scenario, let all energies be focused on uplifting our poor people for coming generations.

Burhan Wani is the creation of Omar Government: BJP

Brig. Anil GuptaBharatiya Janata Party Jammu & Kashmir has reacted sharply to Tweets of ex-CM Omar Abdullah eulogising terrorism and describing Burhan Wani as an “icon”. Questioning as to who is responsible for Burhan Wani taking to gun at the tender age of 15, Brigadier Anil Gupta, State spokesperson of the Party, said, “As per available information Burhan Wani became a terrorist in 2010 when Omar Abdullah was heading a coalition government and hence it is his government that is responsible for creating Burhan Wani. It is very unfortunate that the same politicians are now playing politics in the name of Burhan Wani and using terrorism as a clutch to revive their sinking political future in the valley. It is like playing with usually counter-productive.” Brig Gupta also accused JKNC for encouraging divisive and discriminatory politics and neglecting the other two regions of the state while in power. Now that they are out of power their anti-Jammu and pro-separatist rhetoric have become more pronounced. It is highly unfortunate that the same Omar Abdullah who in 2010 had blamed PDP for carrying out “Lashon Ki Siyasat (Politics over dead bodies)” is indulging in the same type of politics. Commenting on another Tweet of the former CM, “Mark my words-Burhan’s ability to recruit in to militancy from the grave will far outstrip anything he could have done on social media”, Brig Gupta said that with such tweets Omar is trying to project a terrorist as a martyr. Blaming the previous government for spurt in the violence in South Kashmir, Brig Gupta said that the faulty Rehabilitation Policy launched in November 2010 by Omar government is one of the major contributory factors apart from rise of Burhan Wani. Re-cycled ex-militants are the main reason for increase in number of local militants and attack on police personnel. Even in the on-going violence as an aftermath of Burhan’s killing the re-cycled militants are the main instigators among the mobs. “BJP once again asks Jammu-based leaders of these parties to clarify their loyalty and support for terrorism. By keeping mum to the tweets of their leader they have given a tacit approval to his thinking. If they do not come in open to clarify their own position on the issue it would be taken for granted by the people of Jammu that they have surrendered their conscience to their Valley–based leaders and would never forgive them,’ warned the BJP spokesperson. Brig Anil Gupta also condemned the statement of NC Provincial President & MLA Nagrota Devender Rana in which he has blamed BJP for reactionary politics. “Mr Rana is well advised to first dissociate himself from the divisive, discriminatory and communal politics of JKNC before giving any sermons to BJP. He should also come clean and say whether he is in agreement with anti-Jammu & pro-separatist politics being played by his leader and other valley based leaders of his party,” retorted Brig Gupta.

Kashmir based political parties should shun their agendas and isolate separatists: Prof Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta expressed has great anguish on the deteriorating law and order situation in the Valley that emerged after killing of Hizbul Mujahidin militant Burhan Wani. While expressing his great grief and sorrow over the death of 21 people he appealed to all the sane elements in the valley to use their good offices in controlling the situation andrestoring peace. Prof. Virender was critical of the statements of Omar Abdullah amounting to provoke the common masses and siding with the terrorist activities. He said that Omar Abdullah by his statements is playing politics when Kashmir is boiling and added that this would neither be beneficial to his party nor to the people of Valley, in the long run. The spokesperson while asking the security persons to avoid the privileges urges the people of Valley to restrain the youth from participating in the protests. Continuation of such situation shall have adverse consequences for the general masses and also affect the business and tourism. Prof. Virender Gupta observed that terrorism from Valley can only be finished if all the political parties and social activists put their heads together, leave their political agendas apart and work united to bring the people of Valley in national mainstream. They have to bring realization among the Kashmiri masses, the benefits of being a part of Indian Union, Try to curb the fundamental forces operating in the Valley. The most of the responsibility lies with National Conference and PDP. They should stop supporting the separatist forces of the Valley, isolate them, shelve their agendas of great autonomy and self rule for a period of time and put their all efforts to bring the people in the national mainstream. This remains the only path that can save Valley and its people from destruction and anarchy.

Dr Jitendra announces Rs 50 lakh for Arnas, Gool

13592561_1039523636129334_7777001777716715356_nUnion Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh announced here today an amount of Rs. 50 lakh for development works in Arnas and Gool segments of district Reasi falling in his constituency. This will be in addition to the funds from other sources which would be made available for different ongoing works in the area, he said. Addressing a public meeting, Dr Jitendra Singh said that out of the amount of Rs. 50 lakh allocated today, Rs. 15 lakh MP-LAD in convergence with Rs. 10 lakh will be spent on constructing bridal paths. Another Rs. 4.5 lakh would be spent on building fencing wall in the School at Gool, he said, while additional Rs. 4.5 lakh will be spent on construction of "Ghoda Gali" in Gool. An amount of Rs. 8.5 lakh, Dr Jitendra Singh said, has already been earmarked for supplementing arrangements enroute the upcoming "Kousal Yatra". Rs. 5 lakh has already been allocated for bridal paths and Rs. 2.5 lakh is kept at the disposal of the Village Salal, he added. Dr Jitendra Singh regretted that even though Arnas-Gool is a region of high geographical and strategical importance for the State of Jammu & Kashmir, it did not receive the kind of attention it deserved. He said, rising above political and party considerations, and regardless of the political party of MLAs representing these areas, it is the responsibility of the government and also his personal responsibility as Member of Parliament from the area to ensure equitable development and fair deal for these areas. Referring to some of the path - breaking new initiatives of the Modi Government in the last two years,Dr Jitendra Singh said, the Central Government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi follows the principle of “cooperative federalism” vis-à-vis different States of the Union. This,he said, implies that the States will not only get their due share, but also that part of the share which they deserved but was not forthcoming earlier. In the similar vein, he said, the Governments in the State are also expected to follow the principle of cooperative federalism among different regions and in case of Jammu & Kashmir, this would imply equitable development of not only the three regions of Jammu, Ladakh and Kashmir, but also each of the smaller regions falling in each of these three bigger regions. District Development Commissioner Reasi Ravinder Kumar, senior officers of district administration, District BJP President Kuldeep Dubey were among the larger number of prominent citizens and officers attended the meeting.

NC, Cong Jammu legislators supporting Radical Kashmir Doctrine: BJP

Brig. Anil Gupta“While we are fully conscious of the onerous responsibility bestowed on us by the people of Jammu through their mandate and are sincerely working towards fulfilling their trust, the few legislators elected from the Jammu region and belonging to the opposition National Conference and Congress have a single point agenda of criticizing Bharatiya Janata Party for all the ills and woes being faced by the people of Jammu region due to their past scam-laced misrule for decades. They have always been completely bereft of any sense of responsibility towards safe guarding the interests of Jammu”, said Brigadier Anil Gupta, state spokesperson of BJP, in a statement issued to the press. Elaborating further Brig Gupta said that these legislators have forgotten that they were elected by the people of Jammu and always remained silent and unconcerned thereby conveying their tacit approval to discriminatory and anti-Jammu speeches and acts of their Valley based leaders. It appears that they have decided to collaborate with their Valley based colleagues in promoting ‘Radical Kashmir Doctrine’ in order to distance and isolate it from India. Their silence on the issue of Sainik Colonies in the Valley and Establishment of Colonies for Kashmiri Pandits is not only dubious but also unprincipled. Their intentions became obvious when the bill on Amendments to Transfer of Property Act and Alienation of Land Act was introduced in the state assembly in the just concluded Assembly session. While the MLAs from Bharatiya Janata Party vociferously opposed the Bill because it was not only against the interests of Jammu but also against the women of Jammu designed to deny them their fundamental right of ‘Right to Equality’, the legislators from Jammu belonging to NC, Congress and others vehemently supported their colleagues from Valley in demanding that the Bill be passed immediately. It was due to the efforts of the BJP MLAs that the Bill has been stalled and referred to the Select Committee. “BJP appeals to all legislators elected from Jammu region irrespective of Party affiliation to make their individual stand clear on this Anti-Jammu Bill. They need to clarify as to whether their loyalty is for the people who elected them or to their valley based bosses. They must follow their conscience and unite to defeat the draconian bill which is against natural justice, retrograde and discriminatory. They must come out openly and stand up for the national cause and reassure their electorate”, asserted Brig Gupta.

Govt. should preserve economy, constitute inquiry against scandals: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta in a statement said that the Government of Jammu & Kashmir is in a serious mess because of financial irregularities and scandals committed during the previous regime and because of lack of desired initiatives. He illustrated his points by quoting the following the reports that appeared in the section of the media. A standing amount of Rs. 2509.11 crore is an outstanding against various government departments, influential individuals, firms and traders on account of various taxes administered by Commercial Taxes Department. As per the CAG report tabled in both the houses of State Legislature the fiscal liabilities of State Government are accumulating alarmingly and have gone up to Rs. 48, 314 crore on 2014-15 from Rs. 31,271 crore in 2010-11, an increase of Rs. 17,042 crores in last five years (about 42 per cent) The State Vigilance Organization (SVO) is moving with slow pace in the cases referred to it. As per government order of 2003, the Vigilance Organization has to conduct surprise checks jointly with the concerned department. Whereas out of 114 Joint Surprise Checks to be conducted, the Vigilance Organization merely conducted only 16 from July 2015 to December 2015. The government on its own is also soft peddling on sanctioning prosecution in corruption cases as a result of which erring officers and officials have remained unpunished. The Chief Minister, Mebhooba Mufti in her statement in the legislature said that the state government employees would have to wait for 7th Pay Commission for atleast two years as she stated that government has many financial liabilities, including around Rs. 20,000 crore of General Provident Fund money missing. Prof. Virender Gupta said that with the above stated financial position of the state and financial outstanding against various departments and influential individuals, it is desired that government should cut down its expenditure, preserve economy and constitute inquiry against the persons, including the ex-ministers and bureaucrats, who committed scandals and looted public money. It should activate the SVC and establish accountability and transparency in the government working.

PM’s focus on providing succor to hard pressed youth of nation: Balbir

Balbir SinghDecision on antecedents’ verification huge relief for youth seeking jobs As the focus of NDA government led by visionary Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on welfare and development of the youth of this country, the recent decision by the Union Ministry of Personnel that government job appointments orders should not be withheld or delayed for want of character and antecedents’ verification is one that illustrates and speaks it all. This is not just one in series of highly appreciable steps he has taken over the last two years which actually displays the concern of the Prime Minister towards betterment of the youth of the country. This was stated by BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, while terming this innovative decision as one more feather in the cap of Modi government. Balbir Ram Rattan said that it was seen in the past that the youth, who succeeded in their tests and interviews for some jobs they applied for, were made to suffer and face hardships as the character certificates required to be submitted before joining their job had to be verified, which was a time consuming process. In order to obtain a character certificate, one had to take rounds of police stations and the process not only consumed huge time but also delayed the joining and subsequent verification entailed more hiccups. It used to be no be no less than trauma and an ordeal particularly for the youth so selected, from rural areas in many ways, the BJP leader said adding that with this decision in place now, many problems and bottlenecks in the entire procedure have been solved, which is why it is being widely hailed by the youngsters seeking jobs.
Balbir said that few months ago, the Union government had done away with the attestation of documents from gazetted officers/notary and instead self attestation of the documents would be sufficient. Undeniably, it has given a great respite to the people, youth in particular, they being the most hard pressed and stand hugely relieved, benefited from the new prescribed procedure now. The Spokesperson further said that the Union government is making these simple but innovative changes in the bureaucratic procedures to remove unnecessary hassles, bottlenecks in the system, which in turn are meant to mitigate the hardships of the public, while dealing with the government machinery. The sole purpose is to ensure that the public gets benefitted vis-à-vis their routine, day to day working more effectively, he said asserting that NDA government is solely guided by the motive to provide succor to common man, while it wishes to see India and its people progress and prosper.

Previous govts responsible for present state of affairs: Harinder

HarinderHolding the policies and mis-governance of previous governments of NC, Congress and Panthers Party responsible for the present poor state of affairs and plight of the people in Jammu and Kashmir, BJP has said that the present coalition is putting in every effort to undo the resultant damage caused to the economy and polity of the state. Charging the present coalition government for what is essentially the legacy of the past governments, including that of the Panthers Party, is an exercise aimed at misleading the people. BJP State General Secretary Harinder Gupta, while rebuffing the false allegations leveled against BJP-PDP coalition by Panthers leader Harsh Dev Singh, who is making attempts to mislead the public just for political survival, said that the present government in the state is more concerned and committed for the mitigation of the sufferings of the people. Harinder Gupta said that it seems funny and amazing that a leader, who remained MLA continuously for 18 years and even held the position of a Cabinet Minister, could no longer command the trust of the people of Ramnagar because of having got thoroughly discredited as he had done nothing for the said constituency and was rightly shown the door by the electorate. Now after one year, he has discovered the pathetic condition of the roads of which he had not seen for 18 long years till recently. Leaders like Harsh Dev Singh have been relegated to non-entities who are not reconciled to their present status. He reminded the leaders of opposition parties that the problems which are being faced by the people are not born overnight. The previous governments had promised to ensure regular supply of electricity to every metered household, but why it did not happen need to be explained by them. Not only this, isn’t it true that since long back people were seen on roads breaking earthern pots against non-supply of water. Promises were always made by those governments to be only broken and BJP was not in government then. These were the governments run by parties like NC, Congress and Panthers as partner. “BJP coalition has been in power for just one year and it is working honestly to bring the system on rails but the wrong doings of decades and mindset of the authorities cannot be changed in a short period of one year”, Harinder said and added that the PDD and PHE have been pulled by the BJP Ministers to ensure that the old practice of delaying the completion of projects is done away with and every effort made to make available basic amenities to the people. The roads being now made and macadamized in accordance with the highest standards and the previous practice of shoddy and substandard road laying practice has been stopped. The BJP wants to create public assets which will last long and provide succor to the people. He advised the Panthers leader of yesterdays to stop these lamentations born out of frustration on account of being out of power.

PDP-BJP alliance saved with a whisker

Pathania was at the best of his wits and elocution in challenging the constitutionality and political steadfastness of the proposed amendment. While citing constitutional provisions, civil law and legal jurisprudence, Pathania called for an informed, comprehensive debate and not to go along in a huddle. He further said that certain non-issues, half-baked facts and legal infirmities are there in the proposed amendment law. Before going ahead with the law, threadbare discussion needs to be rolled out on the matter in issue. He also pooh-poohed the legal advisors of the government for leading the government into such a misadventure. He also stated that the bill should be referred to Select Committee as the bill if passed will have serious legal, political repercussions. He said that before passing this bill the house needs to discuss the implication this law will have on the central govt. offices, banks, private telecom operators, industrial houses and others concerned like housing colonies. He said that there have been several instances where the laws which are inconsistent to the 'Basic Structure of Constitution" have been declared null and void 'abinitio' and this august house must not rush the passage of this bill as the various clauses of this proposed bill are in violation of the basic structure of the constitution.

He said that the way the Sanskrit language is being treated in J&K the day is not far off when this language will go extinct like any other endangered bird or a mammal. He highlighted the fact that currently there is hardly any initiative to promote this language in Jammu region in general and Rajouri district in particular. Giving facts and figures in support of his arguments Vibodh informed the house that currently the post of lecturer Sanskrit is Govt. Boys Higher Secondary School Rajouri is lying vacant. The severity of the situation can also be judged from the fact that at Govt. Girls Higher Secondary School in Rajouri, a Arabic Lecturer has been adjusted and she is teaching Sanskrit to the students. Due to this the number of students opting for Sanskrit language is declining day by day. He further added that Sanskrit language should never be attached with any religion but this is our ancient heritage which must be preserved at all costs. This is the world number one ancient language and all the valuable ancient literature is in Sanskrit. He said that we can not become a modern progressive society if we forget our culture and our heritage. The languages like Sanskrit has tremendous potential to contribute towards the development of modern society. Therefore all efforts must be made to ensure that this language does not go extinct from J&K. He said that J&K being a Muslim majority state has much more responsibility to take additional efforts to promote this language. This he said will ensure the preservation of our valuable ancient scientific literature and modern society can made best use of such a literature. Moreover, this can act as a torch for leading present society to progress. Replying to the motion Hon’ble Education Minister, Govt. of J&K assured the house that Government is making all efforts to promote Sanskrit language in the state of Jammu & Kashmir. He further added that all the vacant posts of lecturers Sanskrit will be advertised soon.

Conduct enquiry into colonies on forest land: Prof. Virender

Lotus Logo copyBJP State Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta expressed his surprise on the revelation by Deputy Chief Minister in the state assembly that 57468 kanals of forest land is under ten residential colonies in Jammu. The reason forwarded by the Minister are increasing population in and around Jammu city, inadequate forest land record, emerging land mafia, poor and damaged revenue records and absence of demarcation on field. The spokesperson said that if the forest land records are inadequate, revenue records are damaged and there was no demarcation on the field, then how the concerned department prepared the details of the forest land under occupation of the residential colonies, which was tabled in the assembly by the minister. The basic reason for the emergence of these colonies on the forest land is the corrupt practices adopted by the previous ministers, concerned officers and other people having political connections. The colonies cannot be regularized as these have come up on the forest land and no permission was granted from the Government for the construction of these colonies. Prof. Virender demanded that an enquiry be conducted into the whole matter of grabbing the forest land and the people involved in the crime needs to be prosecuted. He also said that these colonies be declared as illegal and unauthorized and other necessary action be taken that includes stopping of power supply, water supply etc. The Dy. Chief Minister should also take serious note of the matter and take the appropriate action. Prof. Virender also said that proper computerized records be maintained for the forest land and revenue land and strict action be taken against those who are in possession of forest/revenue land.

Pathania moves Bill for Creation of Shrine Board for Shri Mata Pingla & Chountra Devi Shrines

13532859_1032616263486738_4714825402879216960_nFor giving boost to the religious tourism, employment and development in and around Ramnagar and fulfilling the long pending aspiration of the Civil Society of Ramnagar/Majalta, a Private Member Bill on Setting up of Shrine Board for Shri Mata Pingla And Chauntra Devi Ji Shrine was tabled in the lower House of Legislature by Ranbir Singh Pathania BJP law maker from Ramnagar Assembly Constituency. Pertinent to mention here that during the Winter Session of Legislature the bill was moved by Pathania but the assembly did not pass it. The Shrine OF Mata Shri Pingla Devi Ji located at Village Pinger in a picturesque landscape, 25 kms from Ramnagar town and at equidistant another Shrine of Mata Chountra Devi Ji located at Dhar Chountra. The place is worth visiting, The Natural surroundings and the picturesque scenery gives a relief from the complexities of life.However road connectivity to both the shrines is not in a very healthy condition. A PMGSY road to the Shrine Of Shri Mata Pingla Devi Ji from Ramnagar side is in under construction and from Manwal Side the road connectivity to Holy Shrine is being funded through NABARD. A 26 crore package under CRF will be providing the circular connectivity to the Shrine of Shri Mata Chountra Devi Ji from Dhar Road (Thial) to Shrine and Ramnagar is in offing, Citing the objectives for Setting up of Shrine Board for these twin religious bodies, Pathania said that pilgrims in thousand numbers visit the Shrines to pay their obeisance on all days especially every Tuesday and Sunday and particularly during Navartaras with the result the Yatra becomes unmanageable due to the reason that the basic infrastructure has not been developed there for providing facilities to the pilgrims. Therefore, lot of inconvenience is faced by the pilgrims. The pilgrimage to the Shine is increasing every year and offerings of the Shrine are not being effectively utilized. It is expected that after the Board is constituted the avenues of employment will generate forthe local population. In view of the fast growing popularity of the Shrines and increase in the number of pilgrims in thousands, a need has been felt to constitute a Statutory Authority on the pattern of the Board Shri Shiv Khori Shrine, Shri Mata Sukrala Devi Ji and Shri Mata Sundari Shrine for better management, administration and governance of Shri Pingla Devi Ji Shrine and Shri Chountra Mata Ji Shrine and their endowments including the land and structures attached to the Shrines. Responding on the behalf of Government, Naeem Akhter Hon’ble Minister for Education, said that the Govt. will request the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board to manage the day today affairs and pilgrimage to these Shrines till the Shrine Board for these twin Shrines is being established. Apparently satisfied by the Government response, the bill was later drawn by the legislator. Expressing satisfaction over the response of Government, the Civil Society of Ramnagar was in full praise for the young legislator who untiringly took up this issue seriously in the legislative assembly as these Shrines are held in strong belief by local populace. The civil Society expressed further hoped that with this step the Pilgrimage to these Shrines will increase manifold which will not only increase the religious tourism in the area but also provide ample employment and business opportunities to the local populace. The civil society also said they were fed up with the petty politics, fake and hollow promises by the politicians on this issue and have lost hope, but finally their present legislator has make it possible that Govt. has to give assurance on the floor of the House that it will request the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Boa

Govt. should adopt pro-active policy to curb militancy: Prof. Virender

13532885_1032477346833963_4575571806300032769_nBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta strongly condemned the deadly attack on CRPF and massacre of 8 CRPF personnel by the militants and asked the Govt. of India and the state government to adopt decisive and pro-active policy and formulate the action plan to flush out and eliminate all the terrorists, instead of adopting a soft approach towards the them. He said that enough is enough and a time has come when our forces should be asked to attack and destroy the militant training camps across the border. He also paid his tributes to the martyrs and expressed his deep condolences to the members of the bereaved families and appealed to the centre as well as the state governments to provide substantial ad sustainable help to the families as was done to the martyrs of Kargil War. Prof. Virender Gupta also expressed his great concern on training of the educated youth in the militant activities and increase in the local over ground supporters of militancy, who are providing all type of assistance to the militants and separatists. There is a general perception that Kashmiri youth is being groomed and motivated to join the militancy by some of the school, college and university teachers and by some religious preachers. Therefore, it is essential for the state government and the Central government security agencies to identify such elements and take them to task. Prof. Virender said that it is also a time when the separatist leaders be shown their way and the security provided to them be withdrawn. There is no justification in providing security to such persons, who dance on the tune of outside agencies and work to destroy the country.

The state unit of BJP terms this victory as also the public’s stamp of approval and appreciation of the one year old rule of the coalition, which has been providing people-friendly and corruption free governance in the state. This was stated by BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan while declaring the day of the victory as a milestone in the history of state’s coalition. “The most important aspect of the victory of Mehbooba Mufti is that the people have seen through the falsehood and guile of those parties, who had unleashed a barrage of propaganda that vote for PDP would be vote for RSS”, Balbir said and added that in this era of fast means of communication, people have access to various sources of information and are hence fully aware about the ideology and policies of BJP as well as RSS.

“POK is Part of Indian Territory”

Ramesh AroraWe cannot make J&K as Seria Kashmir issue was made complicated by politicians and delay in signing instrument of accession further complicated the matter. The divergent and unmatchable culture, lifestyle, values, outlook, commitment and way of life in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh has contributed a lot to this issue.Infact it is settled fact that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India as Instrument of accession signed by Maharaja Hari Singh was same instrument, which was signed by other states. Jammu and Kashmir is strategically important state and its boundaries are connected with Tibet and thereafter with china on one hand and with Pakistan occupied territory and Pakistan on the other side. High mountains and hilly terrain of Himalayan range remains important for other countries also. To some extent it remained point of focus and political issue for Pakistan ,India and China thus acquired attraction of international community . there are certain forces within and outside who talk of separate status , few are inclined towards Pakistan but the number is on decrease and can be counted on fingers. Religious sentiments of majority community in Pakistan could not attract the masses on this side, as the way of life and values are different because religious fundamentalism is less in Kashmir and appeal of total fundamentalism in Pakistan could not over power the sentiments of this region, especially Kashmir. And, few says in Kashmir that accession is there but merger have not taken place. Omar Abdullah also said so, when he was in Power. Powers of Constituent assembly were not challenged by any one and constituent assembly has endorsed the accession and there by merger. Hence the issue is raised only to justify political aspirations. The agenda of separatist is also contradictory and maximum do not have sincere and serious approach but they are continuing their agenda without having match with their lifestyle. India is a country with democratic set up, while Pakistan have witnessed many interference by Army in Civil Administration and Governance of the State Matter about J&K problem was referred by Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru to United Nations organization although Sardar Patel was in disagreement. But Congress tried to cover up this mistake during Shimla Agreement. It was agreed that the dispute will be settled by both the countries and no third party intervention is required. This state was empowered by a separate constitution under the provision of Indian Constitution section 4 of the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir define Territory of the state says “Territories which on the fifteenth day of August 1947, were under the Sovereignty or Suzerainty of the Ruler of the State”. Everybody, known that POK i.e. Pakistan Occupied Kashmir was part of the territory of state. Some use to say Pakistan administrative Kashmir, which is not correct. In fact it is Pakistan occupied Kashmir. It is also admitted fact that relation exist on this side and other side of territory these are not only human relation but blood relation also. Hence people wants to see each other, meet each other and wants to share their feeling. In present Cabinet, one Minster was married to that part of territory and his father-in-law was supporter of Independence i.e. Amman-Ulla Khan. We may disagree with thought process but the fact remains that relation of territory and human being cannot be left at the will of Pakistan or International community. In fact Parliament of India make the things more clear, when passed unanimous resolution saying that only dispute with Pakistan is to get back POK,1994 Resolution. Section 47 of our State Constitution define composition of Legislative Assembly and says “The Legislative Assembly shall consist of [One hundred and Eleven] members chosen by direct Election from territorial constituencies in the state”. To this section another section 48 is added which says [Twenty Four seats in the legislative assembly shall remain vacant and shall not be taken into account for reckoning the total membership of the assembly and Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir do not talk of 87 assembly seats but talk of 111 seats]. It means we have to wait for the time, when we will get back that part of our territory. Issue of displaced from POK is pending, with issue of other refugees. Both may have different back ground but humanity says, we have to settle both issues. Although centre Government has taken few steps on the request of state Government over these problems. Our action and thought should be reflected in our way of working. Few those who talk of Pakistan are aware that all civil and other rights are curbed, curtailed and crushed in that part of our territory (POK). We have lost many lives in Kashmir due to wrong policies of separatist and successive governments failed to settle the issue and it is fact that healing touch is required. Mufti Mohd. Sayeed was of the opinion that Jammu- Kashmir and Ladakh should come close to each other and this closeness will be in the larger interest of the nation. We have fought Elections for Jammu and for Kashmir and there were only little deliberation over common issues . Jammu talk of discrimination and Kashmir use to talk about its own problems and issues including political empowerment. Ladakh talk of Union territory status. There are 27% Kashmiri speaking and wants to rule the state of J&K.It is possible only when (Pot of terrorism) will remain boiling because democracy is the rule of majority. I fail to understand why resolution on the presence of Chinese Army at Gilgit and Baltistan stand omitted by the Upper House. In fact when POK is part of our territory and it is not justified to say that it is a foreign affair which is factually incorrect. BJP have not compromised the issues of Ideology and even PDP has not. It is working Government on development agenda. But the fact remains that in case this Government continues for a longer period. People will start understanding the issues and sentiments of each religion and region. We have to stop competition, with each other and as Hindu being big brother cannot ignore the younger brother. We cannot make J&K as Syria, where Gun battle continue, forever. We have to live in peace and level of understanding with Pakistan and china is to be increased . But this cannot be a unilateral Act and both sides have to respond to it. Democracy involves participation of people and J&K Government have to work on it. In fact Economic democracy is must. We have to build up infrastructure and we have to work day and night for our Independent Economic Structure. We as a state cannot always depend upon centre aid or aid from World Bank and other sources. We have to create infrastructure and attain our Economic Independence. We have to create an atmosphere of peace and shun violence. Corruption prevailing in Police, society, and all other format of corruption are to be buried forever. We as public have to pledge to work for others, we have to stop saying that our state is a disputed territory.Let’s start new chapter of progress.

Omar playing Communal Politics: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaBJP State Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta strongly criticized the statement of Omar Abdullah in the state assembly on June 22, 2016 and said that Omar by his parochial, anti-Jammu and anti-national stand in the Assembly has lost the moral right to call himself as the leader of Jammu & Kashmir state and all the sections of the society. He said that the alliance between BJP and PDP is an alliance between the people of Jammu region and that of Kashmir region and it is in no way an alliance on communal basis. He warned Omar for playing the communal card by stating that had there been no alliance, the Hindus of Jammu would have killed the Muslims as in 1947. He added that 1947 was an tragic travesty. If Muslims were killed in Jammu region, the Hindus and Sikhs too were massacred in Muzfrabad, Mirpur and Poonch districts and even in Uri and Baramullah and they have to leave their houses forever. Their womenfolk had to face humiliation, dishonor and separation from their male family members. Prof. Virender Gupta was also critical for Omar’s support to separatists and raising the issue of arrest of 800 youth, without making any introspection of his own period as Chief Minister, when about 150 youth were killed and hundreds were arrested. He ridiculed former Chief Minsiter’s statement against 22 Jammu youth who were released overnight as no FIR was registered against them and his favouring of the police officer, who was suspended for dereliction of his duties and his connivance in the sacrilegious act. Omar complained that the Kashmiri youth who raised ISIS flags and pelted stones were booked and called them as our youth, as if their action was instigated by him, and as if he does not own the Jammu youth inspite being remained Chief Minister of the State. Prof.Virender reminded Omar of his association and alliance with BJP as being the Union Minister of State in Vajpayee’s Cabinet and said that at that time BJP was not communal Jammu Hindus killed the Muslims were secular.

Finally Panthers sees greatness of Dr. Mookherjee: Dr. Narinder

Dr.-Narinder-Singh-copyIt is intriguing that after so many years of its formation and having been out of power for more than a decade the Panthers Party, has finally discovered that Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookherjee was a great nationalist leader of the country and had laid down his life for the complete integration of the state with the country. It is a matter of satisfaction that Panthers Party members have paid tributes to the great leader on his death anniversary and endorsed the Praja Parishad’s struggle of 1953 of “Ek Nishan, Ek Vidhan, Ek Pradhan” and what it stood for since then. The BJP had been, since 1952 paying respects to Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookherjee and holds him in great reverence. His legacy forms the part of BJP’s hoary historical struggle for the integrity and strong India. This was stated by BJP State General Secretary Dr. Narinder Singh while commenting on the reported paying of homage to Dr. Mookherjee at Lakhanpur by Panthers Party men. He said that though by publically and belatedly recognizing the imminence of Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookherjee, the Panthers Party and its leadership cannot become the champions of cause of nationalist forces of the state. Since the time the Panthers Party came into existence, till this year Dr. Mookherjee did not exist for it and his sacrifice during his incarceration in jail held no significance for it and now suddenly discovering his greatness only exposes the facile nature of their tributes to him. The Supremo of JKNPP Prof. Bhim Singh remained the President of NSUI and had long association with the Congress and NC parties, who never endorsed the philosophy of Dr. Mookherjee nor recognized his sacrifice and now suddenly paying homage to him only reveal the duplicity of their conduct and is meant merely to remain in media radar. Harsh Dev Singh also had remained a Cabinet Minister in the state when the party had entered into coalition with Congress and PDP and at that time Harshdev Singh had forgotten Panthers Party’s demand of reorganization of Jammu and Kashmir state. He never raised any of the issues in the cabinet and the government on which his party had fought the elections. Dr. Narinder Singh further added that apart from holding ‘Balidaan Divas’ programmes at state, district and mandal levels, the BJP MLAs for the first time brought the sacrifice of Dr. Mookherjee in the notice of legislative assembly and paid rich tributes to him there. The BJP does not need certificate of approval and recognition from outfits like Panthers Party which has always been rank opportunist motivated by power considerations. He also said that by pretending to be the admirers of Dr. Mookherjee the Panthers Party cannot join the ranks of those forces which had been for the full and complete integration of the state with the rest of the country.

Killing of noted Sufi singer Amzad Sabri by terrorists in Pakistan is highly condemnable

13532754_1030564800358551_1477477700224258556_nKilling of noted Sufi singer Amzad Sabri by terrorists in Pakistan is highly condemnable and exposes the failure of Pakistan to protect the society based on democratic norms. This killing is more serious and has direct impact on the state of J&K and exposes the Pak friendly elements in Kashmir valley, as the singer was killed because he was predominantly singing Sufi songs, which was taken by hardliners in Pakistan to be anti Islam and as such the killing of sufi singer was sought to be justified . Kashmir is land of Sufi culture where people show utter respect and regards to sufi saints . There are number of Dargahs of sufi saints which are visited by thousands of Kashmiris every year with faith and devotion . Intolerance to Sufi culture by hardliners in Pakistan should be eye opener for the Hurriyat leadership and likes who always try to look to Pakistan and they should realise the inherent malice in their approach as it intends to expose peace loving Kashmiris to the same fate as met by Amzad Sabri . This was stated by J&K Bharatiya Janata Party Chief Spokesperson Sunil Sethi. Sunil Sethi further said that Kashmir is an integral part of India and will remain so for all times to come . The future of Kashmiris is secure and safe with Tolerant India and propagators of separatism at the behest and support of Pakistan are trying to play with the lives of innocent Kashmiri population by misleading them . He further said that a common citizen in the militancy affected areas of state has realised the game plans of separatists and militants and the fact that they can only bring destruction and devastation to the state and there is no public support to militancy or separatism in the state, which is being sustained to little extent by enemies of India sitting across the border. In near future, the state will revert back to the same position, which existed before militancy, where all communities and cultures were living peacefully. The time is coming for return of complete normalcy in the state, which will lead to unprecedented growth and development in the state, where economy is majorly based on tourism. State is getting all infrastructural and economical support from Narendra Modi government and more will be given to state for the betterment of its people.

Shri Moti Kaul in his address gave the audience a detailed expose of the community’s tragic and traumatic 26 years in exile. He stated it was complete ethnic cleansing and the destruction of 5000 years of history. Successive Governments and Administrative Set –ups have played havoc with the lives of this miniscule ethnic minority. Overnight, Pandits were made homeless and refugees in our own country. Our homes, properties, lands, businesses and possessions were destroyed and illegally grabbed. Even the Temples and Shrines and the associated properties were not spared. This unprecedented and tragic exodus having happened in an Independent India was shameful. Moti Kaul made it emphatically clear that as part of the BJP Manifesto, and action on the ground, BJP is committed to a dignified and permanent resettlement of Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley, as per their collective aspirations. The Community is grateful to BJP and in particular to Shri Narendra Modi and his leadership for taking up our issues and concerns. No one has the right and no one can dictate to the Pandits, the original inhabitants of Kashmir and State Subjects, as to where , when and how they would like to get resettled in the Valley. In his concluding address Mr Kaul conveyed his gratitude to IEKF for organising this conference with the representatives from various socio-cultural organizations. Mr Bob Blackman, MP, explained that India always loses the propaganda battle whereas Pakistan wins it, and gets worldwide sympathy and support, even though it supports terrorist organizations. He said that there is a need to engage in a long term programme with British MPs about the truth and justice for Kashmiri Pandits/Hindus. The illegally occupied areas of Jammu and Kashmir by Pakistan should be returned to India.

These questions generated very interesting and lively discussions for an hour. The conference was closed after the refreshments and the individual discussions with Shri Moti Kaul. Mr.Satya Minhas ,the Co- Chair of HCUK ,thanked Shri Moti Kaul ,Mr.Blackman MP,Mr.Sharma MP and the distinguished guests for their contribution and attendance.

Dr. Nirmala Sitharaman, while addressing the gathering, said that the country witnessed total policy paralysis during UPA-II as there was no merit in taking decisions and the nation had to suffer. After taking over as PM, Narendra Modi brought the system on rails, introduced work culture and India entered into a new era. She said that although Modi was given mandate for five years but our government and the party has been going to public with report card of the NDA to brief the people about various programmes and welfare schemes being undertaken as well as fulfilling the promises of the election manifesto. She said that during previous government there was no check on infiltration but NDA brought it down, Modi’s efforts earned honour and pride for the country at International level and a corruption free dispensation has been provided. Nirmala Sitharaman said that the Congress had launched MNREGA with a slogan of Gareebi Hatao but unfortunately it was misused and the poor people were exploited and Modi government wants the economic empowerment of the next generations of poor people. She said that the government at the Centre has fixed target of providing five crore of new gas connections to poor urban women within next two years. She also held the UPA government responsible for frauds and mismanagement of Public Distribution System (PDS) and claimed that Rs. 36,000 crores have been saved by deleting the fake cards by the NDA government. She also spoke in details on schemes like “Beti Bachao Beti Padao”, “Mudra Bank”, “PM Fasal Bima Yojana”, “Atal Pension Scheme”, etc. and added that the nation is heading towards ‘Congress Mukt Bharat’. The Union Minister, while claiming to check the price rise, said that the previous UPA-II was responsible for the same and expressed commitment of Modi government towards the displaced people including refugees. She said that the Modi government keeps check on the developmental projects right from planning to execution and it has resulted into a corruption free government at the Centre. Referring to revival of sick units and promoting Industry in the state, she assured to take positive steps after going through the industrial policy of Jammu & Kashmir and said that the revival of economy in the state is our priority. BJP SC Morcha National President Dushyant Kumar Gautam said that Modi government is the first such dispensation which is going to public with its report card. Organizing “Vikas Parv” on completion of two years is not just for publicity but we want to reach masses and educate them about various development schemes. We do not indulge in politics based on caste or religion but work on the principle of ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas’. Today PM visits a foreign land and when he is accorded warm reception, it makes every India feel pride and it is the honour of the nation. Jugal Kishore Sharma said that today mega projects are in progress and an era of developments, which will not stop now. Narendra Modi government is working on economic upliftment of the poor and weaker sections besides taking various welfare schemes aimed at the welfare of women, youth, farmers, border people, senior citizens etc. Minister in Modi government are working as a team and the days of insecurity, uncertainty and corruption are gone now. Shamsher Singh Manhas said that on the Call of PM, 1 crore 13 thousand people across the country has surrendered their subsidy on gas, which is itself a great achievement. He said that a glance at the situation in India during UPA-I and UPA-II will make everyone feel that the Congress was more concerned for the welfare of a handful of people rather than thinking of 125 crore citizens of the country.

100% FDI in Defence Sector is in National Interest: Brig Gupta

Brig. Anil GuptaHailing the decision of Modi government to permit 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Defence sector, Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party said that the increase from 49% to 100% has been necessitated due to poor response of foreign investors so far. It will give boost to the domestic defence industry, which is highly capital intensive, and save valuable foreign exchange since India imports 70% of its defence equipment. India is the largest importer of arms, ammunition and other defence equipment. In the new policy, FDI limit for defence sector has also been made applicable to manufacturing of small arms and am munitions. Drawing a parallel with China, Brig Gupta said that just a decade ago China was similarly placed as India when it decided to set up domestic defence industry with foreign participation. Today, the Chinese Armed Forces are equipped with the most modern weapon systems produced domestically and China is also one of the major exporters of defence equipment. Reacting to the statement of former Defence Minister AK Antony, Brig Anil Gupta said, “The contention of Mr. Antony that the increase in FDI is not in national interest is not only wrong but faulty as well. Unfortunately, Mr Antony is speaking like a Congressman and not a former Defence Minister. Opposing each and every decision of Modi government is a political compulsion of Congress and not based on logic. I have only one question for those who term it against national interest. Is dependence on imported equipment in national interest or reliance on indigenous production? The decision is not only in national interest but a major step towards making the Indian Armed Forces self-reliant.” It will give a big boost to Make in India and result in rejuvenation of domestic defence industry. The availability of latest and modern technology will give a fillip to in-house research and development. Foreign investment beyond 49% (and upto 100%) has been permitted through the government approval route, in cases resulting in access to modern technology in the country. Brig Gupta also hailed the decision to remove the condition of access to “state of the art” technology as the condition was vague and discouraged foreign investors due to ambiguity. The government has also put in place many regulatory mechanisms to ensure that the equipment is manufactured in India rather than just assembling the equipment in India. This will also create jobs and address the problem of unemployment in the country remarked Brig Gupta.

Modi’s achievements, recognition unpalatable for opposition: Balbir

Balbir SinghAs the entire world is hailing and acknowledging the policies of Prime Minister Narender Modi, this recognition and endorsement widely across the country has not gone well with the opposition parties for obvious reasons. This was stated by State Spokesperson of BJP Balbir Ram Rattan, lamenting that these parties are making noises and criticizing things for the sake of criticism, rather than coming forth with any disapproval on a rationale and valid reason. Recognition of PM on popularizing ‘Yoga’ at the international level has become unpalatable for the opposition political parties and leaders, he said. Making fervent appeal to the people of Jammu and Kashmir to adopt and practice “Yoga” to lead a zestful, vibrant and healthy life, Balbir said that recognition of India’s ancient way of therapeutic and curative practice of ‘Yoga’ at the International level is one of the greatest achievement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “While the UNO has adopted Yoga’ and declared June 21 as International Yoga Day at the initiative of Narendra Modi, this recognition has not gone well with the opposition parties, Congress in particular, just for the sake of politics” Balbir said and added that this achievement has earned respect and admiration for the country from the comity of nations. He said that consistent-efforts on part of Narendra Modi to make the world community realize the importance and benefits of the one of the ancient practice of mediation and healing through certain exercises and regulated breathing pattern as per one’s comfortable and that too without spending any money has earned respect for the country and its cultural heritage. Even though there is no politics nor is BJP indulging in any such move on the issue, this is not being appreciated by political leaders, he said. Balbir Ram Rattan said that various welfare schemes and development projects has been initiated by BJP-led NDA government under the stewardship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and not even a single case of corruption or scams has taken place during the last two years. This fact has totally unnerved the opposition parties, who now do not appreciate even the achievement like International recognition of ‘Yoga’. He said that another major achievement at International level that under the Prime Ministership of Narendra Modi is that today India has become the most suitable market for investment with complete control on inflation and this all has been possible due to the fact that today India’s image has changed from corrupt to honest state. Instead of appreciating this fact also, the opposition is playing it down, the BJP leader said.

Appoint SIT to probe financial irregularities and corruption cases: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaJ&K State BJP Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta in a statement asked the J&K Government to constitute a Special Investigating Team (SIT) to probe into the assets, both moveable and unmoveable, acquired by the ex-ministers and MLAs and their respective families of Congress, National Conference and JKNPP parties, disproportionate to their sources of Income. The SIT should also investigate into the assets of bureaucreats and other administrative functionaries. This step is essential to introduce transparency in the political system, make it corruption free and to provide deterrent to the present MLAs and Minister and others who shall follow them in the subsequent elections in the future. He further said that it is obligatory on the part of present incumbments to declare their moveable and unmoveable assets in public to build confidence of the people in their credibility and ensure the public about their efforts for cleaning the political and administrative system of the state. He said that in the last about 70 years, all the political leaders, bureaucrats and other government functionaries, with a few exceptions, looted the state exchequer and drained out the money allocated for various development works and as result, in spite of enormous financial assistance (much more other states) received by the state government from Government of India, the Jammu and Kashmir state remained developed under as compared to other neighboring states, likes Himachal Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab. He further added that if the state is to progress in line with other developed states the psyche and working culture of the people of J&K need to be changed. Those at the helm of affairs and those who hold responsible positions must have to dedicate themselves to the national as well as that of the state cause without giving preference to their self interests. Prof. Virender also appealed to the vigilance organization and State Accountable Commission to speed up the matters of corruption and financial irregularities which are under consideration.

BJP welcomes decision of govt to not to disband VDCs

Brig. Anil GuptaThe decision of the government, to not to disband Village Defence Committees (VDCs), announced on the floor of the House is praiseworthy and highly welcome said Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party. “The government’s unambiguous announcement has set to rest many rumours being spread by the vested interests about the future of the VDCs and will bring cheers to the thousands of the volunteers who aremembers of these committees. The VDCs did yeoman’s service at the peak of militancy in the far flung areas. Even now when the separatist and fundamentalist forces are raising their ugly head again they have a very important role to play,” said Brig Gupta. Brig Anil Gupta said, “Certain forces inimical to the VDCs have been spreading a canard against them by blaming them for human rights violations and misuse of allotted weapons by their members. These forces are working at the behest of separatist and anti-national forces to further the cause of militancy and in order to demoralise the members of the VDCs. By doing so they want to assist the terrorists in having a free run to spread their reign of terror in far flung places leading to migration and demographic changes. Rather than appreciating the role of VDCs they are hell bent to defame them.” Brig Gupta also appreciated the government for issuing clear cut instructions to deal with the erratic VDC members. He also appealed to the government to immediately enhance the salary of the VDC members to Rs. 6000 as agreed and the funds for which have also been sanctioned as part of Prime Minister’s package.

J&K BJP State spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta in a statement asked the Jammu and Kashmir government to speed up the process of computerizing the land records and make them available to the public in English language along with Hindi and Urdu.

Making available the computerized land records in English, Dogri and Kashmiri shall avoid the harassment of public that they generally face in the revenue department in the identification and demarcation of the land owned by them.

13434714_1025045527577145_8720280168803561401_nMore feathers in coalition’s cap soon: Balbir Signing of Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and dedication of Grid station at Jatwal to public besides inauguration of evacuation line in a single day by the State Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister on Tuesday, speaks volumes about the concern and commitment of PDP-BJP coalition government towards accelerating developmental works promoting tourism in Jammu province.BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, termed the dedication of 400/220 KV Grid station to the public and inauguration of 220 KV evacuation line as most timely step and said that this will ensure more reliable power distribution infrastructure in Jammu region and provide corresponding respite to the public on power supply front. Initiative to develop Jammu Tawi on the pattern of Sabarmati river by signing and exchange of MoU between Jammu Development Authority and Sabarmati River Front Development Corporation of Ahmedabad for management consultancy for technical assistance, is the most imaginative and productive measure that will enhance image of Jammu in terms of province’s development and progress, added Balbir. He further said that it will provide attractive and eye-catching tourist facility, resulting in increase in influx of tourists, which will further create employment opportunities. He said that during the last one year of PDP-BJP coalition, a number of development projects have been taken in hand, which on completion will take the state of Jammu and Kashmir into an era of progress and prosperity. Balbir Ram Rattan said that dedication of Grid Station and signing MoU for River Tawi also reflects the commitment of the state government to treat all the three regions equitably, unlike previous governments of NC and Congress, which always gave preferential treatment to Kashmir in all matters and at all levels. The Congress ministers in successive governments did not bother themselves vis-a-vis problems and development of Jammu nor did they bother to ensure that it gets its due share in matters related to development. “BJP has always stood for ending discrimination with Jammu and now while sharing power with PDP, our party has been ensuring that its ministers do not surrender or compromise the interests of Jammu”, Balbir said and expressed hope that more projects will be started in Jammu province aimed at developing tourists spots and in giving boost to development and infrastructural related activities. This is just the beginning as may more such projects are on anvil, the BJP leader asserted, adding that these steps will be seen as feathers in the cap of PDP-BJP coalition government.

Jammu region deserves more funds: Prof. Virender

The data reveals that in the year 2014 Jammu contributed 3592.15 crore of rupees (75.4%) as tax collection in the state exchequer out of total tax collected 4760.77 crore, whereas the contribution of the valley was merely 1168.62 which stands as (24.5%). Similarly, in the year 2015-16 the contribution of Jammu was 4126.89 crore i.e. 74.8% of the total amount of 5515.96 crore against merely 25.2% (Rs. 1389.07 crore) input in the state exchequer. In the last year of 2016-17 again put in Rs. 2690 (71.86%) and the Valley contribution was 1054.36 i.e. 28.14% in the state exchequer when the total amount deposited in this year was 3744.93 crore. Even in the matter of property tax collected Jammu province contribution stands far high vis-à-vis the Kashmir province. In 2015-16 the total amount gathered as property tax was Rs. 976.90 crore, out of which Jammu contributed Rs. 749.40 crore (76.7%) whereas, the amount paid by the Kashmir province was Rs. 227.41 crore, which is 23.3%. Again in 2016-17 the amount collected from the Kashmir province was merely Rs. 4.16 crore, i.e. 32.7% of the total Rs. 12.74 crore whereas the contribution from the Jammu province was Rs. 8.58 crore (67.3%). Prof. Virender Gupta further said that “it is true that in Jammu province contribution towards the state exchequer has also some component of Kashmir Valley that is collected at Lakhanpur but overall the Jammu province contribution lies at much higher level vis-a-vis the Valley” and added that there is no justification in discriminating Jammu in the allocation of funds when the Union government sanctions funds as per the state contribution to the central pool of taxes.

Listen people voice, act unless it is too late: Prof. Virender

BJP State Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta in a statement called upon the state government to honour the commitment given by Late Mufti Mohd. Sayeed and later on by the present Chief Minister, Mahbooba Mufti that equitable development of all the regions of the state shall be insured and the differences and the alienation existing between the people of Jammu region and those of Kashmir valley would be eliminated. “However, the facts of matter is that the people of Jammu region are still feeling neglected and discriminated against in the present regime”, he said. The main issues, he raised that are agitating the people are :- a) There is no effort being made in the matter of delimitation of Legislative constituencies.
b) The renovation work of Mubarak Mandi complex as Dogra Heritage is going with very slow pace and the rope way project linking Mubark Mandi with Mohmaya/Bahu Fort is in still in limbo. c) In the tourism sector, Jammu got merely 20-25 per cent funds allocation. Out of 13 tourist spots newly identified for development, only four belongs to Jammu region whereas a are in Kashmir province. d) Jammu district, which has 11 constituencies have been allotted 200 crore rupees whereas some of the district having one or two assembly constituencies have been provided almost the same amount for the development. This act is highly unjustified with no reasonable explanation. e) The tawi lake project which was scheduled to be completed in March 2016 has been further extended for further two years. f) No serious effort is being made about the diversion of four nallahs carrying the city garbage in the tawi river. g) Even in the matter of indoor stadium out of 12 indoor stadiums envisaged, only 3 are allocated to Jammu region and 9 to the Kashmir province (with 2 in Ladakh). This is creating great heart burning among the people of Jammu region. h) Discrimination is also being faced by the people of Jammu region in the matter of development of roads, infrastructure, irrigation, agriculture and horticulture sectors. Number of sanctioned projects, in particular pertaining to development tourism in Jammu region is moving with very slow pace. Prof. Virender cautioned the government and the people representatives that there is great resentment brewing among the people of Jammu province and therefore, immediate steps need to be taken for the redressal of the grievances of the people.

Opposing Abhinavgupt Yatra is most unfortunate: Harinder

13434932_1022095297872168_3658839101897023399_nBJP State General Secretary Harinder Gupta, while reacting to the statements of some elements in the valley for opposing / showing their reservations on Abhinavgupt Yatra, termed it most unfortunate and said that such elements should not poke their nose in each and every matter just to remain in public. He said that the Kashmiri people irrespective of their religion, caste and creed are proud of their heritage and culture whose existence nourished in the valley thousand years back but few elements are working to create confusions. Harinder Gupta said that the Yatra is not going to disturb the peaceful environment in the state anyway as it is meant to reaffirm the faith and belief in the multifaceted cultural and religious philosophical history of Kashmir valley. It is an attempt to focus and reiterate the composite culture of the valley. The opposition voiced by Sayed Ali Shah Geelani and others to the yatra betrays the lack of faith in Kashmiriyat as well as thousands of years old intellectual and cultural developments. This reaffirmation in the composite Kashmiriyat by undertaking the Yatra named after the most illustrious son of the soil, who was a philosopher, mystic, aesthetician, poet and polymathic personality, who influenced not only Kashmir valley but the Indian intellectual and cultural thought processes as well, will spread the message of brotherhood and respect for other faiths. Harinder Gupta said that the yatra is being undertaken not to undermine the Muslim majority character of the valley but to highlight the glorious cultural and intellectual movement of the valley and which has been internationally recognized. The opposition being voiced against the Yatra is indicative of narrow and biased mindset of certain elements in the valley.

Decentralization of power needed for the overall development: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta, advocated for the creation of district councils pleaded for decentralization of political, administrative and financial powers among the district council so created. He said that this step is essential for the equitable development of all the districts. The respective MLAs, representatives of local bodies shall have their reasonable say in the management of the districts and the administration shall reach up to the grass root level with the participation of the people at the local level. The districts located in the hilly terrain of the state shall be mostly benefited. The hilly areas of Kishtwar Ramban, Reasi, Rajouri and Poonch districts are most neglected parts of the state. There is lack of communication and other facilities, including education, medical, administrative infrastructure in the far flung areas of these districts in particular, and others too. Prof. Virender said that the District Councils shall go in a long way to develop communication network, tourist spots and other essential infrastructure, urgently needed by the people of the area. “The projects initiated by the PM Narendra Modi at Centre and those by the State government shall be speedly implemented and the state as a whole shall reach its heights in development and progress, if the district councils are constituted”, Prof. Virender said and added that decentralization of power should be extended up to the block and village level in order to involve the people at the micro state.He also suggested that separate allocation of funds be made to each district and also to each region. He also mooted the idea that State Financial Commission which should have due representation from each province needs to be revive.

BJP doesn’t need advice from Congressmen: Brig Gupta

13427940_1021472977934400_5031687348597203722_nReacting sharply to the unsolicited advice given by a senior Congress leader while addressing a public meeting at Akhnoor, Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party retorted, “There is no need to give advice to our legislators. At least they are committed to their people and have the moral courage to question even the government when the interest of a common man is affected. These self-styled advisors need to tell the public as to what they did for the cause of Jammu when in power other than surrendering meekly in order to enjoy the benefits of power? It is due to the policies of successive Congress and NC governments that the people of Jammu are feeling discriminated and are suffering for basic amenities. Regional discrimination is a gift of Congress and NC governments. The disparity is to such an extent that there is hardly any representation of the people belonging to the other two regions of the state in the civil secretariat as well as in other departments”. BJP-PDP coalition government is committed to end the regional discrimination and ensure holistic and inclusive development of all the three regions, said Brig Gupta. Brig Anil Gupta also objected to the statement of the Congress leader that BJP made false promises to the people and has failed them. Refuting the allegation, Brig Gupta said that BJP, unlike Congress, does not believe in divide and rule instead believes in inclusive politics. We have not joined the government merely for sake of power but for nation building. People have given us mandate for six years and we will deliver on our promises. As far as the border residents are concerned, the opposition is misleading them. A sum of Rs. 15.50 crore has been released by the centre for farmers whose land falls within the border fencing. The money is being distributed to the affected farmers. The decision to construct community bunkers in the rear instead of 5 marla plots has been taken in national interest since the security forces feared thinning out from the border belt. All other demands of the border residents are in the pipeline and being addressed, said Brig Gupta.Taking a dig at the narrow-mindedness of the opposition leaders who are questioning the BJP for supporting Ms Mehbooba Mufti in the Anantnag bye-election, Brig Gupta said that it is a normal courtesy extended to the head of our coalition government.

Azad should play positive politics: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaBJP State Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta, strongly condemned the statement of Gulam Nabi Azad that RSS policies are threat to the secular fabric of the nation and the principle of unity and diversity and said that it is the Congress party which always pursued divisive, communal and parochial politics to serve its political ends. He further said that present state of affair in the country, where it is divided on communal, caste, creed and sectarian basis, is the contribution of the Congress party that ruled the country most of the time. It always followed the policy of appeasing one section of the society against the other for the vote bank politics. The leaders of the party always remained engaged in selfish interests and adopted corrupts practices, thereby destroyed the concept of nationalism from the country. Prof. Virender Gupta said that the R.S.S is a nationalist organization, whose loyalty towards the country is beyond any shadow of doubt. It always tried to unite the society on the plank of service of down trodden countrymen, national ethos, traditions, culture and above all nationalism. He further added that on every occasion of national crisis, tragedy, natural clarities and foreign evasions, the R.S.S volunteers stood to the time. During and after Chinese aggression in 1962 and Pakistan attack in 1965, then Congress government asked for RSS contribution to boost the morale of the army and the public in general. “Is it not a fact that RSS volunteers helped the victims of national calamities without any communal and caste considerations”, Prof. Virender asked and told that the educational institutions run by RSS provide enrolment to all sections of Indian society, beyond the religious consideration. “Is Azad aware that a Muslim boy, student of RSS run educational institution, got first position in 10+2 examination in Assam”, the Spokesperson raised the question. Prof. Virender advised Azad to play positive politics and try to save the sinking ship of Congress party on which he himself is riding, instead of trying to get popularity by indulging in negative criticism.

NC leaders misleading people: Sanjay Baru

13346658_1019609494787415_2547135107586288239_nBJP State Secretary Sanjay Baru, while terming the utterances of NC leader that “crackdown on separatist leaders has exposed PDP”, as mere reflection of frustration and attempt to mislead the people of Kashmir, said that these leaders are struggling hard for their survival and looking towards separatists as a ray of hope to get breathe. Sanjay Baru said that National Conference has been in power in Jammu & Kashmir for maximum period after independence and it always played the politics of provoking and misleading the people of the valley to remain in chair rather than working towards taking action against anti-national elements and separatists, who have been dividing the people on communal lines and acting on the dictates from across the borders. Sanjay Baru said that the allegation of NC leaders on PDP are also indicator of their mindset, which have been soft towards separatists and never speak against them, who do not ever condemn the incidents of killings of innocent Kashmiri people and destruction caused in militancy related activities. Sanjay Baru said it is most unfortunate that the NC leaders are opposing action on separatist leaders just to appease a section of people in Kashmir despite the fact that the credentials of separatist leaders are well known and any action against them may be the need of the prevailing situation. “NC, as political party, claims to be the voice of the people of valley, has to make it clear if it want that separatist leaders should be allowed to indulge in anti-national activities and no action should be taken against them”, said Baru and added that the valley has suffered a lot due to repeated bandhs and protests during last so many years, which have become a tool for survival of separatists.

Youth icons to replace Ministers, bureaucrats in leading delegations abroad: Dr Jitendra

13346618_1019532084795156_8463855112133899636_nGone are the days when ministers and senior bureaucrats used to be leading the youth delegations abroad as the Union Ministry of Youth Services and Sports has taken a policy decision of replacing them with youth icons of the country. “A policy decision in this regard has been taken and my Department is in the process of preparing a list of national youth icons for leading the sportspersons and youth delegations to abroad,” disclosed Dr Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State for Youth Services and Sports (Independent Charge), while interacting with the officials of Sports Authority of India (SAI) and Sports Council of the J&K State, here today. He made it clear that the minister has no business to be in sports for availing photo opportunities by putting batting pads and hitting inaugural ball. “As Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the Government has no business to be in business, the minister and officers should act as facilitators and policy makers to encourage the sports activities instead of promoting themselves or their own wards,” he said. Dr Singh, who is also Minister of State in PMO and holds the Independent Charge of North Eastern States, mentioned that soon after taking over the charge of Union Ministry of Youth Services and Sports last month, the first thing he did was deleting his own name from leading a youth delegation to China from June 16 to June 19. “I asked the officers that youth delegations to abroad would be no more led by Minister or the Secretary who were earlier availing such opportunities on Government expenditure without any definite objective,” he said and added that a similar order was issued by him earlier while holding the charge of the Ministry of Science and Technology. Stressing the need for adopting revolutionary ideas instead of visualizing the things through the prism of 1947 when India had just attained freedom and priorities were altogether different, Dr Jitendra Singh explained that the issues have changed and we have to look ahead of others. “The Department of Youth Services and Sports does not mean limiting our activities to a generation only. Our approach has to be inclusive to carry forward the entire society by exploiting the youth potential and this is the responsibility of entire nation,” he said and added that Sports Council does not mean only to confine itself to stadium. The Union Minister told the SAI and Sport Council officials to make best use of the Department and be more objective as well as more impartial. “We have to see sports as medium to move forward and have the best for which officials need to be impartial and look beyond their own wards,” he said while referring to the allegations of favouritism in selection of players. In response to the demand for Central funds for modernization of the swimming pool at MAStadium and making it indoor, Dr Jitendra Singh assured to get the project through. He asked the Sport Council and concerned officials to identify the stadium projects for proper utilization of already sanctioned funds for the same and also assured to look into other demands of the Sport Council and SAI officials. Earlier, MLA Jammu East, Rajesh Gupta personally handed over the file for modernization project of MA Stadium swimming pool to the Union Minister and also apprised the later about some other issues and demands.

Government should win confidence of Jammu region: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaJ&K BJP state spokesperson has called upon the state Government to address the issues concerning the people of Jammu region, including those which forms the part of the PDP-BJP agenda of the alliance. The issues raised by the spokesperson, that forms the part of the agenda are: Delimitation of legislative assembly constituencies, one time settlement of POJK refugees of 1947, 1965 and 1971, providing sustenance and livelihood to West Pakistan refugees, extending benefits accruing to the people living on the LOC to the those living on the International Border, providing benefits of SRO-43 to the families of victims in cross border firing, giving ST status to Kollis, Chopans and Paharis, and creating Scheduled Tribe Ministry. He said that though an amount of 2000 crore has been sanctioned by the Government of India for POJK refugees, the State Govt. should immediately forward the case for release of this amount by the Union government. Prof. Virender said that people of Jammu region suffered worst kind of discrimination in all fields of developments by the previous governments of NC and Congress and therefore, some steps need to be initiated to neutralize the effects of the discrimination to which the people were subjected to in the last more than 68 years. While illustrating, he added that extra funds should be allocated in tourism, agriculture, horticulture, irrigation and road conductivity. He said that representation of Jammu region in state services including in civil secretariat is far low vis-a-vis Kashmir Valley.

Journalist Welfare Fund would instill sense of security among media fraternity: Balbir

13335857_1018414621573569_555996376049345190_nBJP vouching for Press Colonies in twin capital cities Provision of rupees two crores as Journalist Welfare Fund in the current budget is one more step, first by any government in the state, which will go a long way in offering succor to media persons in the hour of need. Lauding the move taken by PDP-BJP alliance government, BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan said that it will meet a long felt need and prove to be immensely beneficial to the media fraternity of Jammu and Kashmir. He said that the BJP MLA & State President Sat Sharma had raised the issue and demanded to provide Rs. 5 crore for the said fund but it was lessened to Rs. 2 crores and expressed hope the same will be hiked in the future. Balbir said that it goes without saying media is the fourth pillar of democracy and the persons/journalists associated with this noble profession too need some financial security for themselves as also for their families. Undeniably, they work under challenging and difficult situations and if any untoward happens to them in their line of duty, this help from the earmarked fund shall be of huge help to them. The BJP leader said that there have been instances of physical assault on the media persons while working as watch dogs of the rights and welfare of the society and serving in unfavourable and risky situations round the clock. J&K being a conflict zone, many a times, the media persons have suffered fatalities while covering the news events, involving operations against armed terrorists. Media persons have also been targeted for fair reporting and have paid the ultimate price while pursuing their noble calling, especially in the valley. It has been seen that under such circumstances their families have been left high and dry to fend for themselves. The need for a welfare fund for the media persons has been long felt, was overdue and would instil a sense of security in them, he added. Balbir Ram Rattan said that the PDP-BJP coalition government has displayed its concern for the media fraternity by making a provision of rupees two crores as Journalist Welfare Fund and it is hoped in future too this important pillar of democracy will be further strengthened and taken care by the government.Balbir said that the BJP has always stood for the welfare and security of hundreds of people working in different newspapers and electronic media, as healthy and vibrant media is essential for democracy. “Our MLAs had even submitted questions in the Assembly in the past related to setting up of Press Colonies in Jammu and Srinagar”, Balbir said and expressed hope that the present coalition government will soon announce setting up of these colonies, another milestone for the media fraternity.

Opposition to Sainik Colony in Valley is unjustified and motivated: Brig Gupta

13319796_1018285768253121_8832639618590091607_nCondemning the call given by Geelani and other Hurriyat leaders for a shutdown in Valley today, Brigadier Anil Gupta, BJP state Spokesperson said that a soldier while defending his motherland or fellow countrymen does not differentiate between any region/ religion. Similarly, the cause of the soldiers should be supported by all irrespective of their individual beliefs. The soldiers deserve to have a piece of land for building a shelter for their families, said Brig Gupta. Unfortunately, rather than supporting the cause of the soldiers, separatists and valley-centric politicians are playing divisive politics at their cost which has adverse impact on their morale. Justifying the need for Sainik Colonies in the state, Brig Gupta explained, “A soldier remains away from his home during his service due to the constraints of the service. Most of the times he has to stay separated from his family either due to non-availability of family accommodation or due to being posted in a non-family station. He, however, desires to provide good education to his children and medical facilities to his family. He prefers to keep his family in a nearby urban town with good educational and medical facilities. Since, the salary is his only source of income he cannot afford to buy property at the existing market rates. He, therefore looks forward to the government to provide him subsidised housing/land. Most of the state governments used to provide subsidised housing/ land for Sainik/Defence Colonies. In fact, a Sainik Colony was also established in Jammu in 1974 with the help of the state government. Later, in order to cater to this peculiar need of soldiers, the Armed Forces started The Army Welfare Housing Organisation (AWHO) and Naval and Air Force Welfare Housing Organisation. Since, J&K enjoyed a special status, the schemes could not be launched in the state. Hence, the soldiers belonging to J&K were deprived of a major welfare project launched by the Armed Forces.” J&K today has large population of soldiers both serving and retired. There is only one Sainik Colony in the state. With JAK LI becoming a regular regiment of the Indian Army with 100 % recruitment from the state, number of soldiers and their families has increased considerably in the Valley itself. Keeping these facts in mind the previous governments led by NC patron Farooq Abdullah and President Omar Abdullah had agreed to the idea of exclusive colonies for the soldiers with land to be provided by the government at subsidised rates. JKESL started construction of two such colonies around Jammu named Rajinder Vihar and Kargil Vihar. It has been almost two decades but the land has yet not been allotted by the administration for these colonies, despite the fact that poor soldiers have deposited their hard earned money with JKESL in the hope that they would own a house one day. “A Sainik Colony in the valley is needed keeping in view the welfare of the soldiers belonging to the state. Those playing politics with the sentiments of the soldiers will have to pay a heavy price for the same because if soldiers decide to come to streets for their cause, it would be disastrous,” warned Brig Gupta.

Bring transparency and accountability in the system:- Ravinder Raina

13332768_1017310338350664_3420519274479656242_nSpeaking on the budget in J&K assembly, BJP MLA Ravinder Raina hits out at Finance minister nd demanded immediate roll back of the hikes in VAT and the toll tax at Lakhanpur and said that this would badly affect the small traders and the common masses so it should immediately withdrawn. He said in all cases regional balance needs to be maintained and all the three region of the Stae Jammu, Kashmir & Ladakh should be given the equal shares. He stressed upon bringing more transparency and accountability in the system so that the schemes launched by the government may befit the common people otherwise the poor will more poor and the rich will go richer. He said Corruption is deeply rooted in the system and effective steps needs to be taken to uproot the Corruption otherwise government’s developmental vision will remain only in papers. Raina asked the Finance Minister to plan a comprehensive plan to develop the tourism in the State. He said there are many historical religious places in in Sunderbani and Nowshera such as Channi-Prat Mandir, Gandeh Pandev Mandir, Meenka Maha-Dev Mandir, Mangla Devi Fort, Mangla Mata, Shaheed Garh Gurdwara, Baba Birm Shaha Shrina & Veer Badrashware Mandir those have tremendous potential to attract the religious devotees those visit Mata Vaishno Devi and Shiv Khori but it requires proper infrastructure like road connectivity and the developmental of the spots and hoped that government will look into this sector with top propriety. Raina also highlighted the issue of daily wagers and asked the minister to frame a policy for them and release their salary at once so that they may get some relief.Taking a dig at Social welfare department Raina said there is no welfare in Social welfare as the announcements made by the Minister in last budget speech remained limited in papers. He said whether it is Old age pension, widow pension, Family benefit Scheme or other scholarship schemes, there is no progress is made in the department because of non availability of funds and said that the poor people are repeatedly roaming in the offices. He also raised the issue of Salary of the ReT teachers and demanded that government should release the long pending salary of ReT teachers and also demanded that the SRO-43 cases are put in dust bins and asked the government to address all the pending cases of SRO-43 without any further delay. Raina asked the finance minister to fallow the “ Modi’s model of Governance” in J&K to make J&K a paradise in real sense. Raina said Finance Minister's approach in tackling the sorry state in the Power Sector should be admired. He said the national average aggregate technical and commercial (AT&C) loss levels was 27 per cent in 2013 but it shocked me to hear that it is 59% in the State, and said that this is because of power theft in its many forms and theft was the hallmark of the previous government. Raina said it is wise that one good thing that the State did during Governor's rule was to join the Central Government's 'Ujwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana' or UDAY and the mess created by the previous government will be cleared. He further said that 65% of Jammu's connections are metered as compared to 45% for Kashmir and it is important because if government want to reduce the power deficit by increasing tariffs then the burden will fall unfairly on metered consumers and regionally Jammu will bear more. He said “ I request the Finance Minister to ensure full metering across the state otherwise politically power reforms will become very difficult and this can be done if we have a innovative tariff policy where there is a stepwise increase in tariffs as consumers increase their power consumption, nominal rates for the first 200 units and then escalation beyond this. Raina further said that “we understand the Government's decision to defer the 7th Pay Commission recommendations but I don't think this is the way to go about it” he advised the Finance Minister to call a meeting of economists and stakeholders who can be asked to think of a way without compromising government finances and invite opinions from all on how to tackle this problem.

13339548_1015880945160270_8211547557647442635_nDuring the two years of NDA government under Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, the country has scaled new heights of development in all the fields putting it on high fast track growth and the despondency that had crept into the psyche of the masses due to the scam laced mis-governance of the UPA’s ten years rule is a thing of the past, claimed BJP Member of Parliament Shamsher Singh Manhas while addressing media persons at Trikuta Nagar office.

Issue of PHE daily wagers strike rocks assembly

13327357_1015344178547280_3222062000543057485_nThe issue of impending strike of PHE daily wagers and non-payment of their dues since the past thirty-five months, was raised by R. S. Pathania, MLA Ramnagar in Zero Hour of Legislative Assembly and he was supported by Rajesh Gupta, MLA Jammu East, Daleep Parihar, MLA Bhadarwah and Ravinder Raina, MLA Nowshera, who were on their feet seeking an early indulgence from the government in this behalf. Pathania was pretty vocal and ebullient enough to demand a commitment from the Government, 'Within what period of time these daily wagers shall be paid their wages and steps be taken to cut short their strike by negotiations' What is the wage policy of the government with respect to daily rated/ contractual/casual workers' Whereas as per Minimum Wages Act, the government has itself put a bar as to nobody – may be a person or an organization or limited concern - can employ anybody on wages less than Rs. 157.00 per day. And section 22 of Minimum Wages Act specifies that paying less than minimum wages shall be a penal offence. But, on seeing the monthly wages of SPOs, ReTs, ReZs, casual labourers working on Rs. 500.00 per month, it comes to light that State itself is violating the Minimum Wages Act. Similar is the tell-tale of drivers/sweepers in state Health Deptt., Rets, ReZs, night-chowkidars in CAPD, Chowkidars in Panchayat Ghars, PTS appointed @ Rs. 100 p.m. by Health Deptt., AW Workers and AW Helpers and lambardars and chowkidars too whose appointment is a result of statute passed by this Assembly, and the total countdown is exhaustive. The protesting MLAs were also supported and vindicated by CPI (m) MLA Mohd Yuusf Tarigami. Whereas ‘right to decent living wage’ is itself a fundamental right flowing out of Article 21 as such its upholding, respect and dignity is most primordial essence and edifice of a democratically elected set-up.

Prof.-Virender-GuptaBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta strongly rebutted the statement of JKPCC Chief G.A. Mir criticizing the working of PDP-BJP government and claiming that Congress shall make the present government accountable and answerable to the people.

Anil Gupta lambasted Congress and other opposition parties for misguiding the public by making false allegations against the Modi Government. “Rather than appreciating the good work done by the government in short span of two years, the opposition parties are criticizing the government. While we appreciate healthy criticism, we cannot tolerate the falsehood being spread against the Modi Govt”, said Brig. Gupta. Brig Gupta made point by point rebuttal of the various allegations leveled by a central leader of the so called national party in a press conference held at Jammu couple of days back. “They blame that the economy is not doing well under the present govt. but I leave it to the judgment of the people because the statistics speak differently. When UPA Govt was voted out in June 2014, nation’s GDP was at 4% and today it stands at 7.6 %. Inflation during UPA Regime was 11-12 % while today under the Modi Govt. it is just 4.91 %. FDI in the last two years has increased by 42%. Foreign exchange reserve stands at US $ 362 billion as on May 2016. PSUs like BSNL, Air India and Shipping Corporation of India which were constantly showing huge losses are now running in profit,” said Brig Gupta. Ridiculing the opposition’s claim that Modi Govt is working for big Corporate Houses and not for poor people, youth and farmers, Brig Gupta gave detailed figures of the beneficiaries under the various pro-poor, pro-youth,pro-women,pro-farmer and pro-labourer welfare policies launched by the Govt. since it came to power in May 2014.

J&K to get first ever Seed Certification Unit: Dr Jitendra

13321750_1014083742006657_6476972369190833506_nOn the completion of Modi Government’s two years in office, the J&K has been gifted with first ever Seed Certification Unit on the constant persuasion of Minister of State in PMO, with Independent charge of North Eastern States, Youth Services and Sports, Dr Jitendra Singh. The unit will be most beneficial for the farming community in the State who otherwise had to be dependent on import of quality seeds from outside the State. The Union Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare has written a letter to Chairman and Managing Director Seed Corporation of India in this regard giving reference to Dr Jitendra Singh’s letter addressed to Agriculture Ministry on April 5 this year. The Agriculture Ministry has urged NSC to furnish its comments immediately in this regard. However, talking to Excelsior Dr Jitendra Singh said that the Ministry of Agriculture in Principle has agreed to establish the seed production facility in Jammu region of the State of J&K and the State Government has been asked to identify land at a centrally located place either in Udhampur or Kathua district. The Seed Certification Unit will not only provide quality seed and suitable to local climatic conditions of the State but will also provide employment to over 2000 people directly or indirectly including farmers and farm labourers. The farmers of the State will get seed at cheaper rates after establishment of the unit in the State as the transportation charges will be reduced. Moreover the seed produced locally will also give more yield than that purchased from outside the State as it will be grown under local climatic conditions. In his letter to Union Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh, Dr Jitendra Singh has said that agriculture plays a very important role in the State of J&K and over 70 percent of people are directly or indirectly dependent on it or its allied sectors. Thus it is crucial that this sector gets due support from the Government so that the large section of population which is dependent on this sector can sustain and prosper. The letter said “I am writing to you about an important issue relating to certified seeds availability in Jammu region for food grain production. Jammu region has a distinct agro climatic condition which consists of Sub tropical zone (Kathua, Samba, Jammu, part of Udhampur and Rajouri, intermediate zone parts of Rajouri, Udhampur, Poonch, Ramban and Kathua and temperate zone like parts of Poonch, Rajouri, Doda, Kathua, Ramban and Kishtwar’’. The letter further said a large part of the area is hilly terrain with fragile soil in hilly areas susceptible to soil erosion which limits the use of mechanized farming and puts constraint on irrigation of cultivated land. In view of this, the area specifically requires certified seeds appropriate for soil and climatic conditions so as to sustain continuous growth in productivity for which management is vital. Dr Singh in his letter said “ I understand that presently almost all the requirement of the seed for food grain production in this region is met by supplies form outside the State., There has been a long felt need to establish a certified seed production facility in Kathua/Udhampur under the aegis of Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agriculture and Technology (SKUAST) of Jammu’’. The letter further said “ I would be grateful if Ministry of Agriculture can through the National Seed Corporation Ltd or any such appropriate agency, take this issue forward so that this area can prosper further’’. Meanwhile, senior BJP leader and Samparak Adhikari of Dr Jitendra Singh, Sanjeev Sharma termed it a gift for the people of the State on the completion of two years of Modi Government. Talking to reporters here, today along with the Smparak Adhikari and National Executive Member BJYM, Bharat Sharma and another Seh-Samparak Ahikari Devinder Singh Wazir said that this will prove a big step towards welfare of farmers of the region in particular and State in general.

NC is befooling people on Autonomy: Prof. Virender

Prof.-Virender-GuptaBJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta, while reacting to the statement of Ali Mohd. Sagar that National Conference shall bring a resolution to restore autonomy of J&K State in the state assembly said that National Conference whenever it is in peril, by its habit always sing the tune of autonomy. He said that on the earlier occasion also it constituted two committees one on the state autonomy and other on regional autonomy and added that though, it placed the recommendations of State Autonomy Committee in the legislature and accordingly passed the resolution which was forwarded to the government of India, it did not show any concern to the regional autonomy report. He said that the fate of the State Autonomy Report is well known to the public. He opined that government at the Centre can afford to give so called Greater Autonomy to the state as it has serious repercussions on the safety and integrity of the country. However, he said that it was under the jurisdiction of state government to give regional autonomy to all the regions of the state as was promised by the Late Sheikh Mohd. Abdullah in 1953 and added that on this issue NC may get support of all the people of the state as well as the national leadership of the country. Prof. Virender said that the Kashmir Muslims cannot be befooled all the time on slogan of great autonomy and the demand cannot get the people mandate on the issue, as NC is expecting. He further said that the majority of the people of Jammu & Kashmir and even the separatists to whom it wants to woo to get their sympathy do not endorse the autonomy demand as the slogan of autonomy only serve the interests of elite class of Kashmiri Muslims. Prof. Virender said that the people of Jammu region, Ladakh region and a good number of Muslim population of Kashmir do not support the demand of autonomy. Prof. Virender further said that demanding autonomy shall be betrayal of the founder father of NC, Sheikh Mohd. Abdullah, who on taking the rein of the state in 1975 under 1975 accord with Indira Gandhi expressed his agreement to the report of DD Thakur, then Dy. Chief Minister of the state, that all amendments made in the state constitution and thereby introduction of central laws in the state are for the benefit of the people of the state. He further reminded to NC leaders that during NC rule after 1975 about 25 new amendments are made in the state constitution to give way for the applicability of the Central laws in the state. Prof. Virender said that lot of water has flown throw River Jhelum, Ravi and Tawi since accession of J&K state with India; what has been done cannot be reversed. He stated that the only path to be followed is to complete the left over work of full integration of state with India and to provide equal status to all the regions of the state in the matter of legislation, administration and development.

Dr. Narinder Singh further added that moves are afoot to make Jammu Smart City having quality roads, being educational and sports hub and a high class tourist destination on the pattern of Sabarmati city.

Transforming India: Two Years of Modi Government; Brig Anil Gupta

Anil Gupta copyUhashered dawn of a new political era in India. The people of India voted for change as they were fed up with the ten year rule of Congress led UPA. Defying all predictions and prophecies of political pundits and analysts the people of India gave two-third mandate to BJP led NDA coalition under the dynamic leadership of Narendra Modi. Modi led government was sworn on 26 May 2014 with people of India hoping for a transformation. Modi set the agenda of government to include stability, transparency, sense of confidence in government, new direction of development (pace of development, monitoring and accountability) to eradicate poverty, focussed foreign policy to enhance India’s international image including cordial relations with neighbours and pride in the armed forces. “Duniya mein Desh ka Samman, Seemaon ki Suraksha aur Garibon ka Kalyan” was set as the mantra for the government. The decade of Congress rule was characterised by bad & corrupt governance, directionless and poor leadership and declining economy. In fact, the wrong economic policies of the Congress which ruled the country for nearly six decades had widened the rich-poor gap exponentially leading to increased poverty. From Nehru to Sonia they fooled the people with the slogan of “Garibi Hatao”. On the contrary the socio-economic philosophy of the BJP is based on the principle of Antyoday, enunciated by great thinker and philosopher Late Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya. Antyoday means “Reaching the Unreached,” the dividend of development and governance should reach the last man in the last row. Bharatiya Janata Party’s ideology is of inclusive development and is best described as Sab Ka Saath Sab ka Vikas. The government’s thrust areas of socio-economic development are; Gaon (village), Garib (poor), Kisan (farmer), Mahila (Women), Mazdoor (labourer) and Yuva (youth). In its pursuit to transform India, Modi government has many firsts to its credit. For the first time, smoke-free life to the poor by universalising LPG connection under Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana. For the first time the poor will get a health insurance cover under the New Health Protection Scheme. More than 21 crore people have access to financial services for the first time under Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, a scheme to ensure banking for the unbanked. For the first time, more than 12 Crore people have social security cover under the three social security schemes meant to secure the unsecured. For the first time ever, subsidies worth more than Rs. 61,822 Crore directly transferred to beneficiaries’ bank accounts in a short time under the Direct Benefit Transfer Scheme. More than 3 Crore small entrepreneurs were disbursed loans for the first time by nationalised banks under Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana. For the first time, 2.07 Crore toilets have been constructed in rural and urban households in India in such a short time under Swachh Bharat Yojana. Despite irrigation being a state subject Modi Government for the first time has provided for Rs 80,000 Crore in the annual budget 2016-17 for irrigation.In order to bring light to every un-electrified village the government for the first time has undertaken a project to electrify 18,500 villages in 1000 days, with this initiative of the government every village in India will get this basic facility. 7779 villages have been electrified so far.In another first the government is promoting public participation in decision and policy making. Almost 19 lakh people interact daily with the Prime Minister through online portal mygov.in. The Prime Minister is also available on mobile App Narendra Modi. All ministers of the Union Government are available 24x7 on social media to interact with general public. Unfinished projects worth Rs 15 lakh crore have been revitalised under Pro-Active Government and Timely Implementation (PRAGATI). PRAGATI is a multi-purpose and multi-modal platform aimed at addressing grievances of common man. It also aims at simultaneously monitoring and reviewing Union Government programmes and projects flagged by state governments. The government intends to achieve the democratic goal of “Jan Bhagidhari” in governance. The introduction of self-attestation and doing away with interviews for lower rung government jobs are the other landmark pioneer decisions of Modi Government. The government can be termed as “Saral Sarkar Sidhi Sarkar.” The government has also taken initiative in solving long term pending issues which needed bold decisions. Land Boundary Agreement with Bangladesh that was pending for four decades has been implemented resulting in transfer of enclaves between the two neighbours and ending uncertainty over nationality of 51,000 people in 162 enclaves. One Rank One Pension- OROP demand of the ex-servicemen that was pending since 1973 has been addressed. Revised rates of pensions have been notified and the first instalment of arrears amounting to 1465 Crore has been paid toover18 lakh veterans and families. The government has also taken decisive multi-pronged actions against the menace of black money. Special Investigation Team chaired by ex- Supreme Court Judge was constituted within first week of government installation. A new Black Money Act with strict penalty provisions has been enacted. Enhanced enforcement measures have resulted in unearthing of tax evasion of approximately Rs 50000 Crore of Indirect taxes and undisclosed income of Rs 21,000 Crore. The value of goods seized on account of smuggling activities has increased to Rs 3,963 Crore in the last two years. Prosecution against 1466 cases has been launched. Inquiry into Panama leaks has also been initiated. Under Swachh Bharat Swachh Vidyalaya Campaign announced by Narendra Modi from the ramparts of Red Fort on 14th August 2014, 4,17,796 toilets were added to 2,61,400 government elementary and secondary schools by 15th August 2015. Thus within one year 100 % targetof providing separate toilets for girls and boys in all government schools was achieved. In another major move towards settling long pending issues the first set of 100 declassified files regarding Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose were released on Netaji’s 119th Birth Anniversary on 23rd January 2016. The signing of tripartite agreement with Iran and Afghanistan for development of Chabahar port in Iran’s Baluchistan will be a strategic game changer in the region. With the introduction of Geospatial Information Regulation Bill 2016, that forbids wrong depiction, dissemination or publication of India’s geospatial information the government has made its intentions clear that India would not tolerate wrong or incomplete description of her maps on social media/internet. The violators would invite a seven year jail term and a fine of Rs 100 crore. Google has already amended the maps it displays and now shows entire J&K and Arunachal Pradesh within the Indian boundary. Ever since this government came to power it has promulgated more than 50 schemes intended to benefit the deprived and neglected sections of the society. Empowering the poor, youth, women, farmers and development of rural areas in order to achieve the goal of Antyoday have been the major thrust areas of the government and a number of schemes have been launched by the government to this end. Apart from the government machinery the party cadre is also being used to ensure that benefits of the schemes reach the intended beneficiaries at their door step. According to Prime Minister Modi, “Government has only one religion – India First, Government has only one holy book – the Constitution, The government must be immersed in only one Bhakti – Bharat Bhakti, The government’s only strength is – Jan Shakti, The government’s only ritual is – wellbeing of 125 Crore Indians, The only code of conduct of the government is – Sabka Saath Saka Vikas.” (The author is Jammu based political commentator and columnist.

Congress struggling for survival, people have lost faith in party: Balbir

Balbir Ram RattanAsks leaders to introspect instead of day dreaming Ridiculing the claim of Congress leader & MLA from Inderwal G.M. Saroori that “people are again looking towards Congress”, BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan said that this vague statement far from the reality is only reflective of pathetic and pitiful frame of mind of the Congress leaders, who tend to mislead the people even now when the party stands decimated politically at the center and across the country.
Balbir Ram Rattan said even more sad is the fact that Saroori despite being a seasoned leader, is day dreaming as the entire leadership of the Congress party, both at the centre as well as in J&K, is in a state of utter confusion, directionless and indecisive about its future. The fact that stands brazenly on the face of the party is that Congress during its 10 years rule at the Centre in UPA-1 and UPA-2, miserably failed to address the grievances of people and instead remained engaged in scam after scam, which tumbled out of its ‘cupboard’ of hollow governance. In J&K too, the Congress party is responsible for the present state of affairs, where the party despite being partner in two successive ruling regimes flawed on every front. Instead of day dreaming, the Congress leader should know that his party owes an explanation to the public for its wrong doings, the BJP leader said. Balbir said that gone are the days when people used to get carried away by self-centric policies of the Congress. Now they have found much reliable and committed alternate in BJP and the NDA government at centre led by dynamic leader Narender Modi, who has a vision for the J&K state. Moreover, humiliating defeat of the Congress in 2014 Lok Sabha elections and later in 2015 Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, are self explanatory proofs that the people no longer trust it and do not endorse its policies and programmes. It seems funny and ironical as to why the Congress leaders in J&K cannot read the writing on the wall and are making hollow claims just to remain in lime light.

Cong responsible for plight of farmers: Tomar

BJP pc-iStating that the Congress ruled the country for maximum time after independence, BJP Kissan Morcha National President Vijay Pal Singh Tomar held it responsible for the present plight of the farmers. Addressing media persons at party headquarters at Trikuta Nagar, Vijay Pal Singh Tomar said that the Congress remained in power on its own or in alliance at the Centre for decades but unfortunately its anti-farmer programmes and policies forced the migration of the farmers to towns and cities for earning livelihood. Tomar said that the farmers, who earlier constituted 82 per cent of the country’s population has reduced to merely 62 per cent. The migration of the farmers to cities, because of lack of infrastructure, irrigation facilities and quite reduced income agriculture were posing great challenges. The agriculture had become unprofitable job because of the wrong policies, which were anti-farmer during the Congress rule for most of the period after independence. Thus the farmers were being compelled to commit suicide because of unimaginable loan burden on their heads. He narrated that the NDA government led by Atal Behari Vajpayee had initiated the job of connecting the rivers not only to curtail the floods but also to provide sufficient water for irrigation purpose throughout the country. But the scheme was abandoned during the Congress rule of past 10 years. Terming the present BJP-led NDA government as pro-farmers, Tomar said that many decisions have been taken with the objective of ensuing early and maximum compensation of crop losses caused by natural calamities. He further added that looking at the poor conditions of the farmers and with a view to raise their income and standard of living a number of pro-farmer steps have been initiated by the present NDA government led by Narendra Modi. The steps taken includes Deen Dayal Gramin Vidyut Yojana, PM Fasal Beena Yojana, Kissan Credit Card, drive to dig new ponds and tube wells, construction of toilets in the village, providing free gas connection to the poor villagers etc. Vijay Pal Singh Tomar said that Narendra Modi has assured electricity in every village by 2018, which would be a great achievement. Morcha State President Rajinder Singh Chib, Vice-President Pavinder Gupta, Morcha General Secretaries Capt. Kasturi Lal Sharma and Sunil Dutt Sharma were also present in the press conference.

Pre-1953 is an imaginary proposition: Prof. Virender

Prof. Virender GuptaJ&K BJP State Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta, strongly criticized the repeated statements of Farooq Abdullah, Omar Abdullah and other leaders of NC that the government at the centre in connivance with the PDP leadership is eroding the J&K autonomy as granted under Article 370 and added that the statements are misconceived, against the facts and being issued to mislead and provoke the Muslim community of the Valley with an only objective to recapture the politically lost space in the Valley. He said that National Food Security Act (NFSA) and National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) are the examples being enhanced to prove their point. He said that the state government is not bound to accept NFSA, in fact, N.N. Vohra, the Governor of the state, during the Governor’s rule, modified the same while looking at the demands and requirements of the people of the state and the Chief Minister immediately after taking over further enhanced the quantum of ration that was to be delivered to each family. Prof. Virender said that ”Do Farooq and Omar want that none of the students of J&K should appear in the examinations conducted by the central agencies, like IAS, Banking examinations, Railways recruitment examinations, examinations conducted for recruitment in army and other para-military forces, for recruitment in universities and research centres and in such like other examinations of Government of India outside the state?” and further questioned that are these leaders against the Kashmiri students appearing in CAT/ MAT examinations to earn eligibility for MBA courses within the state and outside the state. He added that they had objected to the Sainik Colony, which was proposed to be constructed for the Sainiks who hold the state subject. Prof. Virender said that it is foolish to consider that these steps would erode the Autonomy of J&K state granted under Article 370. He stated that the demands of greater autonomy and pre-1953 position as demanded by NC leaders have become irrelevant after J&K adopted its Constitution in 1957 and in particular, after 1975 accord between tall leader of National Conference, Sheikh Mohamed Abdullah and Mrs. Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India. He said that It is ridiculous to talk about the erosion of Article 370 by the NC leaders in the light of fact that Sheikh Abdullah in his second term of power agreed to the findings of D.D. Thakur (the Deputy Chief Minister in Sheikh’s cabinet), who in his one man committee report had stated that the central laws and institutions, which were extended to J&K after 1953 were beneficial for state and its people and needles of the clock cannot be turned back. Prof. Virender reminded the NC leaders that out of about 45 Amendments in State Constitution, about 14 were made after 1975, when NC was in power. The leaders must know that the people of Jammu region, Ladakh region and about 50 percent population of the Valley, which includes Gujjar, Bakarwal, Shias and the minority communities, do not endorse the demand of greater autonomy and in fact they are against the demand and want abrogation of Article 370. The leaders must also realize that the Kashmir region constitutes merely about 16 percent of the area of Indian part of J&K state. Prof. Virender advised the National Conference leaders to understand the realities of the day and do not nurture hypothetical presumptions and adopt the policy of bringing the Kashmiri people in the national mainstream, instead of indulging in activities that strengthen the separatists and anti-India forces.

J&K: Pragmatism is the Need of the Hour, Brig Anil Gupta

Anil Gupta copyThe issues like NFSA, NEET, Establishment of Sainik Colonies in Srinagar, honourable return of Kashmiri Pandits to Valley and settlement of West Pakistan refugees and the positions taken by various political parties and the separatists has brought to fore a very important question. Do the people of Jammu & Kashmir want to join the rest of the nation on the path of growth & development, enjoy dividends of peace and live a dignified life or they want to continue to remain in the era of backwardness, poverty, lawlessness, terror and lead a life full of fear and uncertainties? I for one and am sanguine majority of my fellow citizens are interested in the former. I can understand and accept the position taken by the separatists on these issues because they have no ideology of their own. They only speak the language of their masters sitting across the border and hence have no choice but to repeat what their akas want them to say? Pakistan is no friend or well -wisher of the people of Jammu & Kashmir. Its intentions viz a viz Jammu & Kashmir are aptly clear, “If you can’t get it, destroy it.” Pakistan having failed miserably to annex the state through four wars and tree decade old proxy war backed by state sponsored terrorism, it is now embarked on the path of destruction. Having successfully destroyed the cultural identity of the state based on diversity, tolerance and mutual love and respect for each other, it now wants the state to remain underdeveloped and plunge it into the dark era of medieval thinking. This strategy also suits Pakistan to supress the voice of the people of POJK (so called Azad Kashmir) and Gilgit-Baltistan and legitimises the loot of its natural resources and exploitation of their poverty stricken population. Pakistan furthers its interest in our state through the Hurriyat and hence rhetoric of its leaders of all hues and shades do not surprise me at all and can be dismissed. What are baffling are the statements of the leaders of so called mainstream political parties who owe allegiance to the Constitution of India and its unity and integrity. Why are they becoming a party to Pakistan’s strategy; is it to please Pakistan or for their narrow selfish political ends? Either way it is not in the interest of the majority of the people of the state who want to restore the state to its pristine glory and enjoy the dividends of peace. These politicians have mastered the fine art of making issues out of “non-issues” to remain in limelight lest they are forgotten by the people. Jammu & Kashmir known as the “heaven on earth” is rich in natural resources and has numerous tourist destinations but is unable to generate financial resources adequate enough to run the affairs of the state. It has vast potential but is unable to exploit the same because it woefully lacks adequate infrastructure. The mutual distrust between the three regions of the state also hampers its development. The vast reservoir of youth wants jobs which are very few in numbers. The misguided youth of the valley wants to shun violence but do not find a worthwhile alternative. The government of the day is grappling with these problems. The Central Government has announced a massive, unprecedented financial package. Is this the panacea? In my view the answer is “NO”. The state needs to develop self-sustaining economy. It needs to create jobs. It needs to develop the state into a major tourist hub for Recreational/Pleasure, Pilgrimage, Heritage, Adventure, Border, Health, Handicraft, Horticulture, Rural and Wildlife tourism both for international and national tourists. Tourism being a labour intensive industry provides a very vast scope for employment opportunities which would facilitate in overcoming the problem of unemployment in the State. Tourism is regarded as multi-segmental industry; therefore it provides different types of jobs like hotel managers, receptionists, accountants, clerks, guides, travel agents, drivers, chefs, transport operators etc. It also encourages private entrepreneurship. It will not only contribute to state’s domestic income generation but generate foreign exchange as well. However, the state does not have the wherewithal to directly involve itself in running the tourism industry. The participation of the private sector both from the within and outside the state is a pre-requisite for achieving the desired aims. The government jobs are limited and hence cannot satisfy the aspirations of the unemployed youth of the state. There is a need to create jobs. As mentioned earlier tourism sector is one of the major sources of employment generation but that by it would not be sufficient to create the adequate number of desired jobs. As per an estimate there are about six lakh unemployed youth in the state and it tops in unemployment rate among the North Indian states. Suffice to deduce that other sources of employment generation need to be tapped. While industry is a known source of employment generation, jobs are also created as a by- product of infrastructure development. Software industry and a few start-ups as part of “Start Up India” need to come up in the state. For promoting health tourism, we need to create medical institutions of excellence with renowned doctors and Para-medical staff so that coupled with the salubrious climate of the state these institutions become a major attraction for the cash-rich foreigners. Another sector in which the state can excel is the education sector. There are numerous places in the state that are suitable for opening public schools and higher centres of learning with boarding and hostel facilities on the pattern of popular boarding schools in Himachal, Uttarakhand, Maharashtra and Tamilnadu. But why is J&K lacking in these assets and facilities. Why is it that despite fervent appeals made by all the Chief Ministers the big business houses/ software industry are chary of investing in the state? Despite huge amount of financial support from the central government why the infrastructure (both economic and social) continues to be in shambles and state’s tourism potential has not been harnessed to its full capability? Many would blame poor governance and rampant corruption for the same. While these may be contributory factors but are not solely responsible. Let us accept the fact that we lack in-house resources both capital & talent. We may be able to raise buildings but our hospitals and educational institutions would not be able to deliver without qualified super specialists and renowned educationists. There is no denying the fact that we do not have adequate in-house talent and there has to be enough motivation for talent from outside the state to make the all- important decision of re-location. The main cause is Article 370 and Article 35A of the Constitution of India. In fact these Articles have become raison d’etre for some of the valley- centric political parties. These temporary provisions of the constitution are acting as a hindrance to the economic growth of the state. The time and situation as it prevailed when these acts were enacted have changed. The need of the hour is to be more pragmatic in the larger interest of the state rather than being narrow minded and exploit the provisions for petty political gains. The argument that any sort of relaxation would result in demographic reversal of the state is flawed, motivated and intended to promote separatism. Rules will have to be relaxed to provide incentives for investors and professionals to attract them to the state. To promote investment in industrial sector land on long term lease will have to be provided to the industrialists. I appeal fervently to the political leadership of the state to face the reality and be more open & practical for the holistic development of the state. Otherwise, the future generations would hold them responsible for all their woes. (The author is a Jammu-based political commentator, columnist, strategic and security analyst.

Establishing new hospitals milestone in J&K’s health sector: Balbir

Balbir Ram RattanStep to provide succor to patients at local level The initiative of the Union Ministry of Health & Family Welfare for establishment of new medical colleges attached with existing Referral/District Hospitals, is indeed one more step towards providing standard health care facilities to the needy people in their own districts in Jammu & Kashmir. This was stated by BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, while terming this initiative as historic, added that it will not only help in treatment of the ailing people but save precious lives in the event of mishaps in these districts. “The establishment of medical colleges at district levels will prove to be milestones in the health sector”, Balbir said. It also reflects the concern and commitment of Prime Minister Narendra Modi government to ensure that no one is deprived of availing best treatment without travelling long distances for the same. Balbir said no doubt the capital cities of Jammu and Kashmir state have Soura Institute at Srinagar and GMC Hospital in Jammu and these institutions have better facilities of treatment but similar facilities are not available in hospitals which are far away located in districts and as a result a large number of patients are frequently referred to Jammu or Srinagar. This not only poses inconvenience to the patients and their attendants, many of whom cannot afford frequent visits to Jammu or Srinagar, but also creates pressure on the government hospitals which usually face full occupancy. Balbir further said it has been seen that most of the people, particularly who meet accidents in hilly and far flung areas, when taken to the nearby District, Sub District Hospital or Primary Health Centre, are immediately referred to capital cities with an excuse of lack of required facilities to treat them. Many a times, the people who get severely injured, succumb to their injuries before reaching the referred hospitals. Expressing hope that the three new hospitals, for which foundation stones have been laid at Rajouri, Anantnag and Baramulla, will be constructed at the earliest equipped with the modern infrastructure, Balbir said that the commissioning of these hospitals will provide succor to patients of the state at local level besides creating job opportunities for the medicos.

Stop criticising us; look at your track record: BJP

Anil Gupta copyWith no issues at hand, opposition parties are only resorting to criticism of Bharatiya Janata Party because they are unable to digest the achievements of Narendra Modi government during the past two years. As per Brigadier Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of BJP “It has become a fashion both at the national as well as state level to criticise the BJP because of its growing popularity with the masses. Feeling threatened of their very existence, these political parties are desperately trying to create an environment of uncertainty and mistrust through false and motivated propaganda to distract BJP from its main agenda of development.” Reacting sharply to the recent statements of the leaders of NC, Congress and JKNPP, Brig Gupta said that when these parties enjoyed the mandate of the people, they did nothing but looted the state exchequer, ignored the common masses, deprived the people of basic necessities of Pani, Bijli aur Sadak, made false promises and provided the worst type of governance. Despite the fact that people realised the divisive and communal agenda of NC and showed them the door, it is ironical that the Abdullahs are still harping the old tune of NC being the only secular party. In fact, the stand taken by the party on NEET issue has clearly demonstrated the party’s ideology of regionalism, communalism and separatism. Exposing the Congress, Brig Gupta said that it is a party of scams with no political agenda or ideology. Its state unit is a divided house with small factions, each furthering its own agenda without any direction or central policy. Its leaders who are known for their corrupt practices while in government are now making tall claims and promises unmindful of the fact that the people have not only lost faith in them but their party as well. JKNPP which was totally wiped out during the elections is now trying to champion the cause of Jammu. The party should first restore the credibility of their leaders who did nothing for the cause of Jammu till date including the period they were in the government said Brig Gupta. On the other hand apart from visible infrastructure development the Modi government in a short span of two years has launched more than 50 people friendly welfare schemes, the benefits of which are reaching directly to the intended beneficiaries. To quote just one example, under PM Mudra Yojna 2.75 crore people have been given loan amounting to Rs. 99,467 crore during the last financial year, which has led to true empowerment of young and needy entrepreneurs.

Farooq and Omar are playing politics of secessionism : Prof. Virender

Prof. Virender GuptaJ&K BJP spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupts strongly condemned the statements issued by the leaders of National Conference, in particular the father and son duo, Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah on some recent issues such as NIT, shelter house for labourers, Sainik Colony in Valley and now on NEET, to settle political score with Mehbooba Mufti and the present PDP- BJP alliance government. He said that their statements were intended to percolate anti-India feelings among the Kashmiri Muslims and encourage separatists and anti- India forces in the Valley and expressed his anguish that the National Conference once again adopted the policy of alienating the Kashmiri Muslims from the national mainstream, thus putting the Valley in turmoil and derails it from the path of development. Prof. Virender said that the proposal of having Sainik Colony in Valley was taken in a meeting in March 2012, held under the chairmanship of State Governor which was duly attended by Omar Abdullah. He further said that the proposed Sainik Colony was to be developed at par with other colonies like police personals colony, employees’ colony and the similar Sainik colony do exist in Jammu city which is meant for the army men holding state subject. He questioned “then how does it is going to effect the so called special privileges enjoyed by the state under article 370, what was the need to raise hue and cry, particularly when Omar himself was party to the decision”. Prof. Virender expressed that the opposition to National Eligibility Entrance Examination for the students of Jammu and Kashmir, by the duo is completely illogical and baseless and added that the students of the Jammu and Kashmir state are appearing in CAT/ MAT examinations to earn eligibility for MBA courses within the state and outside the state, the NET examinations is being conducted under HRD ministry for earning to eligibility to apply for the post of Asstt. Professor and for pursuing Research in state universities and state colleges. He further stated that our students also appear in the GATE examination to earn eligibility to get admission for M.Tech courses. Prof. Virender said that he hoped that both Abdullas know the new departments and staff positions and the new projects in the universities/colleges are sanctioned and funded by the UGC/CSIR and other central agencies. He narrated that the degrees given by the universities and medical colleges of the state are recognized through India, provided these institutions get recognition from the UGC, Medical Council of India or other centre agencies. Prof. Virender asked “Do Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah have guts to ask for abolition of all these tests for Jammu and Kashmir Students and ask the Government of India to stop funding the universities, colleges and other institutions of the state?” Prof. Virender appealed to the two Abdullas to stop playing ugly and anti-national politics which is neither good for Kashmiri Muslims nor for them. He further appealed to allow and in fact work for the peace to prevail in the state so that the state moves fast in the path of development and people of the state enjoy a life of prosperity and brotherhood.

These darbars were held after BJP senior leadership has asked the party ministers in PDP-BJP coalition government to adopt the districts in Kashmir. “BJP ministers were asked to adopt the districts in Kashmir, listen to the genuine issues of people and find out the solution to address them,” Dr. Narinder Singh, BJP State General Secretary said, under whose supervision these darbars are and would be held.

He said successive governments have only exploited the people in Kashmir, which is evident from the fact that despite central government’s huge financial assistance through different schemes, no development is visible on ground. “BJP has come up with a huge developmental plan and in near future, the people will witness new phase of development in BJP government,” he said. He also asked party workers to move to the remotest areas and listen to the grievances of people there. “Listening to the grievances of common people in each village which need to be healed and for that BJP is committed to address their problems,” Singh said. Today the darbars were held at Srinagar, Budgam, Ganderbal, Pulwama, Kulgam and Baramulla districts, where thousands of people gathered and put forward their grievances before concerned ministers about their day to day issues- particularly roads, electricity, potable water, ration and other essential commodities.

Sainik Colony in Valley: Omar’s dual face exposed says Brig Gupta

Anil Gupta copyOmar Abdullah by raking up the issue of Sainik Colony in Valley has clearly demonstrated the level which he and his party can stoop down in order to please the separatists in the Valley. According to Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party, “It was during the tenure of Omar as Chief Minister that the proposal of a Sainik Colony in Valley was mooted by the Rajya Sainik Board. During the annual meetings of the board held at Raj Bhawan, Jammu in 2012 & 2013 and attended by Omar Abdullah as Chief Minister and ex-officio Vice President of the Board “Establishment of Sainik Colony at Srinagar” was discussed as one of the agenda points. Omar Abdullah at that time had not raised any objection to the proposal hence conveying his concurrence and that of his party too. The same has been recorded as Minute 3.9 in the Minutes of the Meeting of 2012 and distributed to all concerned after the meeting.” It was amply clarified during the meeting that strict bye laws will be made to ensure that only the ex- servicemen and serving soldiers can benefit from such a scheme. It is highly condemnable that same Omar Abdullah now at the behest of the separatists is trying to mislead the innocent people of the state with an attempt to create unrest in the Valley thus exposing his double face. It is a clear manifestation of the divisive, communal and separatist ideology of National Conference. Brig Gupta also released a copy of the minute 3.9 and the list of participants of the meeting held at Raj Bhawan Jammu on 02 Mar 2012 in which name of Omar Abdullah appeared at ser no. 2. Brig Gupta challenged Omar Abdullah to deny this and render an apology to the people of J&K for misleading them for petty political gains. “Wasn’t Omar Abdullah concerned about the special status of J&K when he was the CM or he is only reminded of it and sheds crocodile tears for the same when not in power? How can he blame the current alliance government for the proposal mooted during the tenure of his government,” questioned Brig Gupta.

NEET Issue: Brig Gupta refutes allegations made by Abdullahs

Anil Gupta copyBrig Anil Gupta has refuted the allegations made by Dr Farooq Abdullah that the extention of NEET to J&K will be detrimental to the interests of the students from the state and will put their future in peril. He accused Dr Abdullah and his son Omar Abdullah of playing to the galleries and misleading the innocent youth of the state by linking NEET with erosion of the special status of the state. Dr Abdullah’s statement that it would rob the female students of the 50% reservation is also untrue and aimed at creating unnecessary misunderstanding in the young minds who are already agitated due to the non-performance of the previous government led by his son. Another false statement made by Dr Abdullah is that our students will have to compete at national level for the different reserved quota for admission in the medical colleges of the state. Brig Gupta said that honourable Supreme Court of India has endorsed the special Status of the state enjoyed by virtue of its special constitutional and legal position. The bench hearing the case has categorically stated that only permanent residents of the state shall be eligible for admission to medical colleges in J&K. Allaying all fears the honourable bench has further stated that the reservations shall be as per the State Reservation Act and women would continue to get 50% reservation as enshrined in the reservation Act. The Court has also clarified that state wise merit list will be prepared based on the marks secured in the NEET and respective states will conduct counseling for their medical colleges. “It is therefore crystal clear that conduct of NEET in no way will harm the interests of the students of our state but will bring an end to the alleged dubious role played by the JK Board of Professional Entrance Exam and will bring cheers to the hard working and deserving aspirants belonging to all the three regions of the state. The merit list will be based on the marks secured in NEET and as per the existing State Reservation Act. It is a win-win situation for all” according to Brig Gupta.

Check the flow of hawala money: BJP

Prof. Verinder GuptaJ&K BJP spokes person, Prof. Virender Gupta expressed his serious concern on the reported news on flow of huge hawala money from the gulf countries in Jammu and Kashmir State as a result a large number of new mosques and seminaries have come up, with a purpose to radicalize the Kashmiri Muslim youth. He added that the youth are brainwashed, trained as militant and become part of the separatists, militants and anti-India forces. Prof Virender said that the frequent happenings of fluttering of ISIS and Pakistan flags with raising anti-India and pro-Pak slogans and also pelting stones on the forces engaged in fighting the terrorists indicate the gravity of the situation emerging in the Valley. He asked the government both at the state as well Centre level to take serious note the situation and strongly act against the anti-India forces to boost the morale of the security forces who are fighting for national cause and for the restoration of peace in the Valley. He further added that such activities has damaged the pluralistic ethos of Valley and reduced it as composed of mono-religious society, with the migration of Kashmiri Pandits and other minority communities. He cautioned the Government and the Kashmiri Muslim society that if strong will is not exhibited and hard steps are not taken at this juncture, the Kashmir shall meet disaster and it shall lose its identity. Prof. Virender expressed his surprise that government and police force deliberately ignored the conduct of about 30 friendly cricket matches between 12 teams, extended over a period of two to three months, in different parts of the valley sponsored and arranged by the separatist groups and consequently, a prize distribution function in the name of the separatists killed was held under the chairmanship of a father of a hard-core terrorist. He added that this was a great negligence on the part of the government as the cricket matches were used as instruments in motivating the youth to bring them under the banner of separatists. Prof. Virender said that it is irony that on one hand the police used brute force against the non-local students studying in NIT Srinagar, raising pro-India slogans while carrying national flag, and beat them mercilessly, whereas, on other hand, it allowed the anti-national event to happen and skipped the venue of the event deliberately.

DGP should not wait for his retirement but act: Arora

Ramesh AroraBJP Senior leader & MLC Ramesh Arora (Adv.) discussed the matter of NIT with Director General of Police and express his concern over the unfortunate incident of NIT, where students were thrashed and abused for no fault and demanded action against delinquent police persons involved in lathicharge. Arora said we don’t want to demoralize local police but at the same time, we cannot allow anybody from our force to spoil the peaceful atmosphere and give a bad name to the state. The incident of NIT is not only condemnable but is a move to create wedge between local and non-local, which is not in the interest o the state. Our students from this region are studying in different parts of the country and we cannot afford misunderstanding between local and non-local. Arora said it appear that few persons wanted to play politics and recent episode of JNU have boosted their nefarious designs. This fact is also required to be investigated, weather it is a act of irresponsible cop or political motivated game. We smell that certain parties which are out of power wanted to demolish peace and fabric of brotherhood prevailing in the state through their yes man or persons present in forces. This will be dealt seriously because no one is above law and cannot exploit his position and power. Arora appealed all sections of students to continue their studies without fear and should have the confidence that such acts of irresponsible mindset will not be allowed to be repeated in Kashmir or in any other part of the state. It is duty of the state under the constitution to protect life and liberty and we cannot allow protector to cause damage to this commitment. Arora asked DGP that he should not wait for his retirement and he should prove himself a man of action which is his duty also.

He further exhibited the hope that new dispensation will continue the good work initiated and done by previous dispensation of PDP - BJP alliance under able and inspiring leadership of late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed. In short time of about 10 months, the government could bring perceptible change on ground with all round development. He further said that inheritance of legacy of Late Mufti Sahib, by young Chief Minister designate, will come with load of expectations of the people. As Chief Minister of J&K, Mehbooba Mufti will be under tremendous pressure of expectations of the masses, who would always like to see Mufti Sahib in her. New dispensation has to perform exceedingly well to come to expectations and high hopes of the masses . Legacy of Late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed is too big to be emulated but efforts has to be made to do justice to legacy of late visionary and carry on the good works initiated by him . Sunil Sethi further asked the leadership of both parties to provide responsive governance to the state which can respond to the needs and expectations of the masses and justify the confidence reposed on the continued alliance by Prime Minister Narinder Modi. While central government is on record to have ensured continuous flow of funds for development, it will be duty of the new government to ensure that each penny of central funds reaches the person for whom it is meant. Sethi assured full support to the new government on behalf of Bharatiya Janata Party and reiterated the resolve to stand by agenda of alliance between the parties which is basic document of governance between both of them. He further said that as partners in governance, it will be expected from each partner to work not only for growth of their respective parties but also for partner.

Sat Sharma, in his presidential address, said that it is indeed a matter of pride for us having being associated with a party which gets inspiration from the lives of great ideologues and patriots like Dr. Shyama Prasad Mokherjee and Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya. While Dr. Mookherjee sacrificed his life for the complete integration of J&K state with the Indian Union, Pt. Deen Dayal, throughout his life worked for the nation with the ideology of Ekatam Mananavvad. “Today BJP is in the government at the centre and maximum states and it is the result of the decades long struggle of our ideologues as well as the party activists at state, mandal and booths level”, Sat said and added that the people also deserve credit for bringing in BJP by rejecting other political parties, Congress in particular. He said that PM Narendra Modi has a mission to see India Congress free under the slogan of “Congress Mukt Bharat” and we should not rest till the same is achieved. Describing BJP as a party with a difference, Sat Sharma said that the same is reflected in its organizational set up in which even a booth level activist can become State or National President. The party also follows inner democracy and its organizational election as National, State, District, Mandal levels are held on time. He said that the BJP has today more than 2.5 lakh members in Kashmir, it won three Lok Sabha and 25 assembly seats and LAHDC is headed by BJP, which shows that people in all the three regions want BJP.

Opposition Misleading about Agenda of Alliance: Brig Gupta

Anil Gupta copyIn a press statement issued by Bharatiya Janata Party its spokesperson Brig Anil Gupta has strongly condemned the statements being made by leaders of certain political parties and self-appointed champions of Jammu blaming BJP for sacrificing the interest of Jammu by signing the Agenda of Alliance with PDP. “These very leaders were out rightly rejected by the people of Jammu only a year back for their non-performance and high headed ness. While in power they were busy looting the public exchequer and filling their own coffers. They neither had time nor showed any interest in development of their respective areas. There is not even a single major achievement as far as the development of Jammu region is concerned. Now that they are out of power they do not waste any time in issuing false and motivated statements to defame BJP,” said Brig Gupta. The Agenda of Alliance has been signed between the coalition partners to honour the mandate given by the people of Jammu & Kashmir. It is to act as the frame work for provision of good governance, self-sustaining and balanced development of all three regions of the State. “Due to the neglect of the previous Congress-NC alliance government the infrastructure; physical and social, had crumbled adversely affecting the tourism industry, the major source of revenue. The state’s economy was on the verge of collapse. Lack of leadership was glaringly absent. The people of the state voted for a change,” explained Brig Gupta. At this juncture the two parties came together keeping aside their ideologies to serve the people who were yearning for change and formed an alliance with the purpose of creating an enabling environment for all round economic development of the State and prosperity of the people. The mission of the Coalition Government as given in the Agenda of Alliance is, “ to be the most ethical state in the country from the present day position of being the most corrupt state”, said Brig Gupta. He further advised the opposition leaders to stop spreading lies and explain to the people as to what they have done for safeguarding the interests of the people of Jammu.

Challenge of intrusion of foreigners .000000 in J&K:   Prof. Virender

Prof. Virender GuptaJ&K BJP Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta, expressed his great concern on the report that about thirty thousand foreigners, including those from Bangladesh, Myanmar and even from Pakistan, have creep into J&K and some of them have become ration card holders of the state. He said that coming of people from Bangladesh and Myanmar to Jammu and Kashmir illegally, after covering such a long distance, raises doubts about their intentions. He also expressed his anxious on the report that good number of persons had also sneaked into J&K territory from Pakistan and a good number of families entered the state via Nepal without the knowledge of state machinery. He showed his resentment that the concerned state authorities are not that vigilant and do not keep effective track of the foreigners entering the state. Prof. Virender said that the matter should be explored to the effect that whether such influx of the foreigners in J&K state is a part of some strategy on the part of national enemies, external or internal and he added that as Jammu and Kashmir being a sensitive state facing secessionist and terrorist activities for the last about twenty years, the authorities can not overlook this matter and has to maintain vigilance on this aspect. He demanded that the security should be tightened and special cell of the respective intelligence agency be constituted to identify the foreigners who have entered the J&K state without any legal documents. He also said that foreigners so identified be deported back to their respective countries after taking appropriate action against them.

Omar Abdullah should apologise for his off the cough statement: Brig Gupta

Anil Gupta copyOmar Abdullah is feeling desperate at the prospect of the formation of alliance government between BJP–PDP and hence has resorted to making sarcastic comments like “BJP will ask Mehbooba to say Bharat Mata Ki jai after the government formation”, commented Brig Anil Gupta State Spokesperson of BJP. Such statements confirm the fact that few individuals refuse to grow with age and keep behaving like errant children. Omar’s statement clearly indicates his immaturity and misplaced loyalty. What is wrong in saying Bharat Mata ki Jai questioned Brig Gupta? At the time of Pokharan 2, his father and then Chief Minister of J&K Farooq Abdullah went ecstatic and was seen shouting Bharat Mata Ki Jai and dancing on the TV channels. Why Omar, who was a MOS in NDA government, did not ask his father at that time as to why did he do so, asked Brig Gupta. Bharat Mata Ki Jai is not a religious or political slogan and no patriotic Indian should have any hesitation in chanting this national slogan. Brig Gupta reminded Omar Abdullah that many units of the Indian Army, the most secular, apolitical and patriotic organisation, shout this slogan as their war cry as it literally means victory of India. By making such irresponsible and off the cough statement, Omar Abdullah has hurt the sentiments of all patriotic Indians for which he must render an apology demanded Brig Gupta. After the demise of Mufti Sahib, NC leadership led by Omar Abdullah had started day dreaming of returning to power despite the fact that they were rejected by the electorate only a year back. During this period Omar did nothing except tweeting and criticising each and every people-friendly measure initiated by the alliance government. What has Omar and his party done to start day dreaming of returning to power? The fact is that Abdullahs are so used to the luxuries of power that they are not able to digest the fact that the people of J&K have voted them out of power. Sooner Omar learns to live with this reality better it will be for him, said the BJP spokesperson demanding an apology from him.

State BJP has asked the students from the state studying in educational institutions outside state to show respect and regards to the laws to enhance the image of state in the eyes of nation

Sunil SethiState Bharatiya Janata Party has asked the students from the state studying in educational institutions outside state to show respect and regards to the laws to enhance the image of state in the eyes of nation. The students of JK studying outside the state belonging to any religion or region are ambassadors of state and they should conduct themselves in manner befitting the persons belonging to state with rich heritage and dedication to nationalism. BJP State Chief Spokesperson Sunil Sethi noted that lawlessness or anti national conduct shown by even single student from state brings disrepute to not only student community of the state but state as a whole and such conduct on part of any person is condemnable and deplorable and can't be tolerated in any situation. Sunil Sethi through an official handout, said that patriotism and nationalism are not favour being shown to nation or fellow countrymen but is pious duty towards motherland and has to be honoured and displayed without fail by all. Students of state should be proud of being citizens of the great country with extreme tolerance across vast canvass of religious, lingual, cultural, regional dissimilarities. Sethi further said that students from state has to set example of disciplined community by following laws and rules of the place where they are getting education and to mix up with their brothers and sisters of the other regions of country to create atmosphere of brotherhood and friendship to be praised and emulated by all . BJP Chief Spokesperson further criticised the political parties, who are trying to do politics on the issue and trying to take political mileage at the cost of national interest, which is extremely unfortunate and disturbing. Instead of creating fear and confusion in students of state studying out they should guide students properly to weed out elements which are indulging in lawlessness and anti nationalism for the interest of students and state.

Cong leaders have nothing to claim: Harinder

Harinder-GuptaBJP State General Secretary Harinder Gupta, while reacting to the allegations of former Minister & Congress General Secretary Dr. Manohar Lal that BJP’s wrong policies have affected development, said that it is a white lie as ten month rule of BJP coalition witnessed massive development in the state as its prime policy was pro-people and development centric. Harinder Gupta said that the BJP had sought votes on the promise of good governance, development and ending corruption and every sincere effort was made to fulfil the poll promises. He said that the major achievement of the previous government, which had Congress as coalition partner, was that Jammu and Kashmir became one of the most corrupt state in the country. “Does Congress leaders recognize it as their achievement and the firm resolve of BJP to weed out corruption as failure”, said Harinder Gupta and added that the people are well aware about corruption and the parties which promoted this practice in the state while sharing power. Harinder Gupta said that people of the state had well understood that Congress, NC and Panthers, while in power as coalition partners during the last few decades, did nothing for common citizens despite the fact that the voters had displayed full trust on them and given many opportunities to prove their concern and commitment for welfare, development and people-friendly governments. “These parties were shown way and BJP was given a chance by the people as they wanted to get rid of such parties which made false promises and in reality never bothered to think of a common man”, Harinder Gupta said adding that the Congress leaders in particular are making repeated attempts to malign the image of BJP but none of them will succeed and people will once again punish this party in forthcoming elections of ULBs and Panchayats. He appealed the public not to trust Congress leaders as they have once again become active to mislead and deceive the innocent people to seek votes in ULBs and Panchayats.

Omar lacks information, misleading people: BJP

Dr. Narinder Singh copyThe State unit of BJP strongly rejects the allegations of former Chief Minister & Working President of National Conference Omar Abdullah, wherein he has tried to mislead the general public saying that PDP-BJP government had withheld relief, development funds to persecute people. BJP State General Secretary Dr. Narinder Singh, while terming these allegations as outcome of mere frustration, said that Omar Abdullah seems to lack information related to the funds for development in the state. He said that whatever the NC leader has said is false and an attempt to mislead the people, which has become a routine practice of the leaders of political parties, including Congress, NC and Panthers. BJP, since day first, had focussed on providing adequate relief to the flood affected people, he said. Dr. Narinder Singh reminded NC leader that for the first time in the history of Jammu and Kashmir, a huge package of rupees eighty thousand crores was provided by Narendra Modi government while it was PDP-BJP coalition in the state. “Our coalition had convinced the union government for such a huge package, which included funds for relief and development, Dr. Singh said and added that the BJP as a party also had stressed upon the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to sanction number of prestigious developmental projects and welfare schemes for the state while giving due share to every region. Dr. Singh further refreshed the memory of Omar Abdullah that it was infact NC, which had been opportunist for the lust of chair and the history is witness that Omar Abdullah embraced BJP and became Union Minister of State for Foreign Affairs during Atal Behari Vajpayee led government. He said that BJP had sought votes on the slogan of good governance and development and while sharing coalition for ten months in the state, not a single case of corruption took place and number of developmental activities were initiated. BJP State General Secretary cautioned the people of the state not to get misled by the leaders like Omar Abdullah as they have nothing to claim while they themselves were in power and now are out in public to regain the lost ground as the elections of Urban Local Bodies and Panchayats are on the corner.

Tanveer Baba, in a Statement issued today, said that the statement that Kashmiri women are being raped has hurt the sentiments of Kashmiri women

Tanveer BabaBJP State Working Committee Member Tanveer Baba, in a Statement issued today, said that the statement that Kashmiri women are being raped has hurt the sentiments of Kashmiri women. Kashmiri women have been always lived keeping their heads high. Nobody on earth can rape Kashmiri women. This is unacceptable. Army is a disciplined force that assist people in additional to their duty. Kashmiri women have understood silence on this issue by political parties like National Conference and Congress. Tanveer Baba said that Omar Abdullah says that Ghulam Nabi Azad will have to touch the feet of PDP in Rajya Sabha, but reverse happened. Touch feet politicians have not said a single word on statement maligning Kashmiri women. Kashmiri women have now understood the politics of NC and Congress. It is seen that they have supported the irresponsible statement. This shows their callous attitude towards Kashmiri women who have been target of militancy for last twenty five years. The people of Kashmir have suffered and nobody should sprinkle salt on their wounds. There is need to identity the culprits and their supporters who have raised finger on Kashmiri women. Kashmiri women will have to stand up now and show their strength and defeat such people and supporters.

Hurriyat exposed, reveals its true colour: BJP

Anil Gupta copyBJP has strongly condemned the statement of Ghulam Nabi Sumji Deputy General Secretary of Hurriyat (G) in which he stated, “inspiration for the freedom struggle of Kashmir is only Islam and establishing a model Islamic state is our first and last objective.” BJP spokesperson said, “Hurriyat is ‘His Master’s Voice’ and speaks the language Pakistan wants it to speak. It has no ideology of its own and is a puppet of Pakistan’s ISI. It is for this reason that its leaders rush to the Pakistan High commission at the first given opportunity.” Kashmir is a part of Jammu & Kashmir state which is an integral part of India is a non-negotiable fact and no power on earth can separate Kashmir from India, said Brig Gupta. Such uncalled for statement by the Hurriyat leader is aimed at disturbing communal harmony in the state and instil a sense of fear and uncertainty in the minds of the minorities but the nationalist cadre of BJP is always ready to meet such challenges and ensure the unity and integrity of the people of the state. Brig Gupta further stated that the creation of an ‘Islamic State’ is the declared aim of terrorist outfits like ISIS, Al-Qaeda, LET, JEM and Taliban. Hurriyat through the statement of its Deputy General Secretary has acknowledged the fact that it is working to further the agenda of these terrorist organisations in the State. Such open and defiant support of these dreaded terrorist outfits by the Hurriyat demands an immediate ban on it as all these terrorist outfits are already facing an international ban. Brig Gupta drew the attention of Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad to the statement of his name sake and questioned his silence in condemning the Hurriyat while he has been making wild allegations against a patriotic organisation like the RSS. Brig Gupta also appealed to all secular and patriotic people of the state to come forward and vehemently oppose the mischievous statement of the Hurriyat. Brig Gupta said that Pakistan which has launched a proxy war against India and is openly sponsoring terror will never succeed in its nefarious design of disintegrating India particularly Jammu & Kashmir. He also criticised the Pakistan High Commissioner for inviting the Hurriyat leaders for Pakistan Day function in New Delhi.

Fix responsibility for discrepancies in voter lists: BJP

Balbir Ram RattanIn view of the massive resentment over large scale discrepancies in the voter lists, it has become imperative on part of the government to look into these allegations, constitute a team to investigate and fix the responsibility on the erring officials and staff of the concerned department. In an official handout, BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan said that the state unit of BJP has already expressed grave concern over the issue. He said that the party State President and other senior leaders have taken the matter with the senior officials of election authorities in the state and shared the details about various discrepancies in the voter lists. “The seriousness of the matter can be well judged from the allegations that in many municipal wards, hundreds of names of the existing voters have been deleted; in many cases a male is mentioned as female voter; no corrections have been made despite the applications submitted well in time for the purpose; parentage & age is incorrect; residential addresses too are mentioned wrong in many cases; names of some voters from a particular ward have been shifted to adjoining or other ward”, said Balbir and added that in one such case of negligence, the name of a female Ex-Corporator has also been deleted despite the fact she is still living in the same ward. similar complaints are being received from the other districts. BJP State Spokesperson said that the voters, whose names stood registered for decades in the voter lists are also missing and it is not just a mistake but seems to be part of some conspiracy hatched at the behest of some political parties, who want to regain their ground.It is not possible without the active involvement of the officials and staff of the election authorities, which need to be investigated. Balbir Ram Rattan said that on one hand, the government is gearing up for the elections to the ULBs and Panchayats, on the other hand massive discrepancies have been detected in the voter lists and holding elections with these erroneous lists will debar thousands of genuine voters from exercising their constitutional right, which a citizen enjoys in democracy. Balbir said that the government should immediately order an impartial probe into the said discrepancies, fix the responsibility and punish the guilty officials under the law of the land and undertake a thorough exercise to remove and correct all the discrepancies.

Dr. Gagan Bhagat Member Legislative Assembly Strongly oppose the strategy that has been adopted by the Administration in implementing it, in the R.S Pura Constituency

1915034_965655146849517_5995994456247519388_nDr.Gagan Bhagat Member Legislative Assembly Strongly oppose the strategy that has been adopted by the Administration in implementing it, in the R.S Pura Constituency. The issue of BIFURCATION has not been resolved and it is creating confusion among the common masses, and R.S Pura Constituency owing to its rich cultural tradition has a JOINT FAMILY Culture and according to the present method adopted is that at a maximum SIX members of a family will be given 30 Kg of Ration under the present Plan adopted by the government, and in which 12 kg of Rice and 18kg of Wheat grains will be provided. And what will happen in case of JOINT families which are in abundance in R.S Pura constituency and adding to the problem the department has also failed to perform the BIFURCATION of the Ration Card, and no new Ration Card has been created , so the Joint family will not get the ration, when the government is planning “Food for All” .One more flaw in the present NFSA is that the officials deputed for the purpose have no knowledge regarding the act because they are from different field and A.W.W and the Gram Sewaks have no idea about the act, and if the department would have placed I.T Literate persons in doing that so along with the concerned dealers the results would have been outstanding. The data punched is completely wrong and has many discrepancies in it , and due to which several persons who are earning lakhs are listed in the B.P.L List, and the deserving ones are left out, the list also wrongly write Wife of in place of daughter of this has been taken seriously by some religious organizations , and the spelling mistakes is there in almost in every third case. The officials are demanding State Subjects from the ration card holders, and since R.S Pura Constituency have lot of West Pakistan Refugees which are getting the benefit of Ration previously , but due to the present guideline those who do not possess the State Subject will not be benefitted under the said NFSA.And the issue of State Subjects is very much complex the S.D.M who is posted at R.S Pura has completely failed to speed up the State Subject issue and there is thousands of cases of State Subject pending at SDM Office R.S Pura.The probationers are sent here to get trained in the Sub Division , as R.S Pura is an TRAINING INSTITUTE whether it is an IAS, IPS ,KAS or KPS , due to lack of experience the probationers failed to solve the basic problems of R.S Pura Sub-Division. If the administration does not take a positive step and rectify the said issues the B.J.P workers and common people who are suffering due to this will come on roads and will not allow the C.A.P.D to function as it has completely failed to provide “Food for All”, rather it has been seen as “Food to some” , I also request H.E the Governor of Jammu & Kashmir to kindly intervene in the matter so that the situation be controlled from turning bad to worst.Dr.P.P Singh Spokesperson BJP Distt. Committee, and Nathram RS Pura Mandal Pradhan were also present in the Press conference.

RSS works for inculcating nationalistic feelings: BJP

Lotus WebsiteTaking strong exception to the stem entry of Ghulam Nabi Azad, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha & former Chief Minister of J&K, on comparing RSS with ISIS, the state Bharatiya Janata Party has said that it shows lack of knowledge and disregard to the significant contribution of RSS in nation building . In a joint press statement, BJP State Chief Spokesperson Sunil Sethi and State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, have asserted that RSS, since its inception, has been involved in engineering social change for betterment of the society and have been involved in number of projects for upliftment of poor and down trodden, irrespective of religious and regional affiliation and name of RSS is taken with utter respect to and regards by all, including significantly minorities. It is only small group of people with petty political motives and ambitions like Azad, who turn blind eye to the truth and deliberately make false and misleading statements hoping that people will fall prey to their vicious propaganda but actually they make fool of themselves as nobody believes in such rhetoric. They further said RSS has been working for inculcating nationalistic feelings in the masses and untiring efforts to make India strong and united. It is against any sought of violence against humanity and has been educating masses to stand together for cause of nation and national interest, irrespective of religious and regional feelings. Comparing an organisation which is working for upliftment of humanity and patriotism with beastly organisation having no regards for human existence like ISIS, shows the total mind corruption on the part of Congress. Sunil Sethi further said that statement of Ghulam Nabi Azad has not only hurt sentiments of all Indians with nationalistic thinking and patriotism but it is meant to serve the cause of enemies of the country by giving such statement without even understanding it's consequences which was unexpected of a person of his stature. They demanded immediate apology from Azad and Congress party to the whole nation.

Onkar Seth has ridiculed the assertion of Dr. Farooq Abdullah that raising of anti-national slogans would not divide the country

Lotus WebsiteOnkar Seth, the Convenor of the Pardesh BJP Legal and Legislative Cell & Member National Council of Legal Cell has ridiculed the assertion of NC leader Dr. Farooq Abdullah that raising of anti-national slogans would not divide the country. He said that by saying so, Dr. Farooq Abdullah is trying to cover up his own wrongs of the past but the law of the land do not grant immunity for such activities. If such elements are allowed to go scot-free, things can take ugly turn and the messy situation created in Kashmir was the result of the like thinking of the NC leadership, who were guided by more controversial and erroneous feelings, rather than that of unity and integrity of India. Seth alleged that Dr. Farooq Abdullah, by issuing such statements, is encouraging those who are indulging in unlawful activities with a design to have freedom for those playing the game of elements hostile to unity of the country but law of the land do not permit so. Hence, the law must prevail; he asserted and maintained that no country allows such like anti-national hooliganism. Onkar Seth said that it has become a fashion in India to raise anti national slogans for the sake of publicity as the electronic media in particular runs after such episodes without caring for their responsibility towards the society and the nation, which demands that they must be positive in reporting and deliver justice to the fourth pillar of the democracy. Some news channels, for the sake of TRP, forget to differentiate between the good and the bad and highlight such elements and incidents which may prove to be dangerous for the peace and communal harmony in the country. He appealed the people not to get misled by such elements who have least regard for the nation and its interests but indulge in provocation, which should be opposed tooth and nail and all such elements need to be exposed and booked.

BJP objects to presence of Chinese troops and forced occupation of part of Gilgit-Baltistan

Anil Gupta copyThe proposed induction of Chinese troops in Gilgit-Baltistan with the purported intention of securing the China-Pak Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a mere excuse by the Pak government to provide access to the PLA (Peoples Liberation Army of China) in the strategically important area of Gilgit. Pakistan has been committing atrocities on the peace-loving people of Gilgit-Baltistan merely because they are Shias. This was stated by BJP spokesperson Brig Anil Gupta while reacting to the reports of presence of Chinese troops in the said areas. Brig Gupta said that economic exploitation by Pakistan in nexus with China of the mineral and hydro-power rich region is vehemently opposed by the locals whose voice is suppressed by Pakistan by use of brutal military force. Much against their wishes Pakistan has already stationed three independent brigades in the region which should be adequate for the protection of the CPEC. Despite that the willingness of Pak government to allow induction of Chinese troops is perplexing and smells of a sinister design against India. Gilgit-Baltistan is an integral part of the state of Jammu & Kashmir and is under the illegal occupation of Pakistan. “It being a disputed area under Pakistan’s illegal occupation the former has no moral authority to invite foreign troops in the area”, according to Brig Anil Gupta. Bharatiya Janata Party strongly objects to the presence of Chinese troops in the area and expresses solidarity with our brethren in Gilgit-Baltistan as per the press release issued by the Party. Brig Gupta also condemned the Hurriyat for welcoming the decision of Pak government to permit the presence of Chinese troops in POJK and Gilgit-Baltistan which only shows utter disregard to the aspirations and concerns of the people of that area by the Hurriyat. Taking note of another serious development in the area wherein a portion of the territory of Gilgit-Baltistan has been illegally occupied by the neighbouring province of Khyber-Pakhtunwa, Brig Gupta said that it is another attempt to subjugate the Shias and expressed serious concern for the same. The area is reportedly rich in minerals and Chitral Scouts have been deployed in the area to terrorise the locals. The hand-picked Gilgit Administrative Council, a puppet of the Federal Government, has deliberately ignored the incursion much to the annoyance of the local population. Brig Gupta suspected that it may be a part of the bigger game plan of Pakistan to declare the area as its fifth province but warned Pakistan to desist from any such move.

And ask the Police and administration to track out all and make end to this type of organized Crime of money extraction from the soldiers or persons belongs to paramilitary forces and others.

Dr. Narinder Singh strongly condemning the utterances of National Conference Working President & former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah

Lotus WebsiteBJP State General Secretary Dr. Narinder Singh, while strongly condemning the utterances of National Conference Working President & former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, said that the NC leader had been most opportunist whose past itself stands witness to his politics of compromise on the so-called principles. Dr. Narinder Singh said that Omar Abdullah today says in public that he will never enter into alliance with BJP and rather he would quit politics than compromising with the honour and dignity of the state, is nothing but a reflection of frustration after NC being given humiliating defeat in the assembly elections. He said that it is most funny that the leaders like Omar Abdullah adopt double standards while in chair and when out of power. “It is not politics aimed at serving the state or its people but a game of opportunism to fulfill lust of power by sacrificing the so-called principles which are remembered only when rejected and shown the door by the people”, said Narinder Singh and reminded that it is the same BJP which was in power when Omar Abdullah enjoyed power as MoS in Atal Behari Vajpayee’s government. He said that Omar Abdullah cannot mislead the people of the state by making false and inflammatory speeches as the people have very sharp memory regarding the past politics of such leaders. Dr. Narinder Singh said that the people of the state, Jammu province in particular, had given mandate to BJP to form the government and our party did nothing wrong to honour the verdict of the people. There is nothing wrong in respecting the mandate given by the people and by making irresponsible statement Omar Abdullah is insulting the will of the voters. Dr. Narinder Singh said that BJP follows the principle of ‘justice to all and appeasement to none’ and the present Prime Minister Narendra Modi too has made it loud and clear with the slogan of “sabka saath sabka vikaas”. He said that BJP is a nationalist party which do not divide the people or exploit them on the basis of region or religion for vote bank politics but stands for unity and integrity of the country and believes in maintaining communal hormony rather than backing anti-national forces.

Stating that the party activists have to serve like a bridge between the people and their organisation, Koul stressed upon them to work towards reaching the people and highlight the achievements of Narendra Modi government at the centre and explain to them the various projects like extending rail link to their district, widening of roads, insurance schemes for farmers and  poor, provision of major share of border youth in newly approved IRP battalions, exclusive welfare schemes for women etc. The party activists must assure the people that BJP will never compromise on the interests of any region and continue to work to fulfil the promises made to them, he said.

Hoisting flag will not solve problems But shall firm up identity crucial for addressing them

SS Bijral copyNegating the importance of a flag in a republic, by the politician especially a former CM, is political naivety, commented S.S. Bijral IGP (Rtd), the spokesperson of state BJP. He responded to tweet of NC working President and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah at the micro blogging site Twitter where reacting to HRD Ministry order for hoisting national flag at Central Universities in the country, he said that it will not help to solve the problems of alienation and instil patriotic fervour amongst the youth at large. Bijral said the Central University at Jammu is hoisting National Flag from day one of its functioning. It’s mockery that essentiality of flying national flag at Central University was required to be highlighted to one who had proudly served under National Flag as MoS External Affairs in NDA govt at Centre lead by then PM Vajpayee. The NC leadership would do well to worry about his party alienation from masses when its strength is retrogressively dwindling and come to only 15 from long enjoyed absolute majority. The situation, political and economic, prevailing in the state is direct result of misrule and en mass corruption fostered upon people for long by NC and Congress with title of second most corrupt state after Bihar earned under their rule. Having been worst exploited politically for personal aggrandisement, the awakened masses routed both Congress and National Conference parties in 2014 putting up their trust in People Democratic Party and Bharatiya Janata Party for governance and development. It would serve best the cause of National Conference and also of the state if NC party leadership instead of raising sensitive and critical issues of National flag and appear kidding, introspect about causes for which wisened voters of state rejected them en mass at the hustling. National flag will not solve the problems but shall firm up the identity of ‘those served’ and ‘serving’ for deservingly addressing the problems.

Addressing a press conference, Chander Mohan Sharma said that large scale deforestation, uncontrolled excavation, mining etc and illegal occupation of forest land, grabbing of land pertaining to the water bodies has put the state to danger of devastating floods, cloudbursts, and other natural calamities. The present situation calls for drastic and coordinated but prompt action for removing all sort of encroachments, constructions, occupations and intrusions over the forest land and within and around all rivers and water bodies to save the environment, ecology and the very human existence. “Ecological deterioration, brutal exploitation of natural resources and uncontrolled constructions are dangerous for human beings and its perpetrators and violators are bigger enemies than even those indulging in terrorism as they are enemies not only of humanity but of all living beings and nature. The Uttrakhand is a glaring example of this lapse. Just nearly two years back, state faced a flood fury attributable to all such lapses but neither the government nor the public has learnt any lesson. Sharma expressed shock that such environmental and ecological issues and impending danger remained upto paper and file work and it was never taken seriously. He said that when the formation of popular government and political agenda is being discussed, the environment and ecology should also find place in the coalition partners’ political and governance agenda. Recently, media has reported that Jammu Kashmir Police has not been taking cognizance of such incidents of encroachments, land grabbing of forest land in Bhatindi and Chhatta areas. Appreciating the retrieval of some Forest land recently by the Forest Authorities, Sharma appealed the Governor for his intervention and to direct the administration to strictly observe the Green Laws. Sharma also appreciated the programme of extension of new flyover upto Jammu Airport and from Bikram Chowk to Ambphalla at BC Road. BJP Working Committee Members Subash Gupta and Surinder Sharma were also present in the press conference.

BJP rebuffs Harshdev for his false allegations: Balbir

Balbir Ram RattanBJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, while rubbishing the utterances of Panthers Party Chairman Harsh Dev Singh, said that BJP has never dented pride and honour of Dogras and the party’s fundamental ideological moor in the state is embedded in the Dogra psyche and other nationalist people of the state. He said that it was Panthers Party, which always deceived the people of Jammu province and that is why it was rejected by the people of Jammu. The people had very bad experience as their performance as MLAs disillusioned them.
The Spokesperson said that infact, it had been Harsh Dev Singh as three times MLA and Cabinet Minister, who did nothing to protect the pride and honour of Dogras and their culture. BJP, on the other hand, pursued Jammu centric policies and while in the Government, tried its best to do justice to the people of Jammu province, who had been deprived of their genuine rights and entitlements in the past. Balbir Ram Rattan reminded Panthers leader that it was during BJP-led Government at the centre that Dogri language got due recognition and was included in the 8th Schedule of the Indian Constitution and broadcasting of Dogri News got commenced on Doordorshan. He further said that work for restoration and protection of Mubarak Mandi Heritage complex got most priority during PDP-BJP coalition. It was again BJP, which installed the statues of Maharaja Hari Singh, the great Dogra ruler, while it was heading Jammu Municipal Corporation in 2005. Balbir Ram Rattan said that it seems that the Chairman of Panthers Party is ignorant of the facts that BJP had launched a long drawn agitation in Jammu during early 1990s for establishment of VDCs and subsequently as partner of NDA government enhanced the emoluments of SPOs from rupees 3000 to 6000; announced package for refugees; made provision of five marla plots at safer places for border people; launched PM Fasal Bima Yojna for farmers and numerous welfare schemes for women and the unemployed youth. He said that during the 10 months of PDP-BJP coalition government, BJP ensured equitable distribution of development projects and funds for all the regions of the state, it got sanctioned number of prestigious institutions like AIIMS, IIT, IIM, IHM and many other infrastructure development projects for Jammu region from the BJP led Government at the centre.

Statement of Adv. Chander Mohan Sharma, Convenor of Tawi Andolan and Namami Gange Project (BJP)

Chander Mohan SharmaTawi Andolan expresses its deep concern over the slackness of previous state governments in dealing with land encroachment by the unscrupulous persons within and around Tawi river basin and banks, water bodies and forests. He said whenever, any serious attempt is made to retrieve such grabbed land, the land mafia attack the staff and even the police parties accompanying them. Terming the brutal attack on the staff and police party by the miscreants as an act of highhandedness and violence and such acts are condemnable. I strongly condemn the assault on police party and damaging police vehicle by land mafia at village Kernel-e-Chak of Nikki Tawi area of Jammu. Such Highhandedness and brutal lawlessness should not be tolerated and govt. should take strict action against the culprits. Through this media conference, I express that such Gunda Gardi can demoralize police force which is already engaged in combat operations against Terrorism. In view of the Pathankot Terrorist attack, the state law enforcing agencies must weed out such element which provoked attack on the police. Through this media conference I also condemn the action of Zulfikar Ali, Cabinet Minister for his support and encouragement to said land mafia responsible for prime land encroachment in Nikki Tawi area. I want to remind Mr. Zulfikar Ali that coalition Govt is functioning upon two Fundamentals i.e. Good Governance and Development. Encouraging land mafia and illegal occupants of state land and River Tawi basins is against these basic principles. There are number of directions issued by High Court of J&K in various Writ Petitions that all Encroachements from water bodies like Jhelum, Wuller Lake, Dal Lake, Tawi River, and Chenab be removed. No Minister of the Government can trample the “ Agenda of Alliance” wherein it has been cogent that river Tawi will be developed on the pattern of holy Ganga. With illegal occupations on the banks and basin of River Taw, this joint commitment of BJP-PDP cannot be achieved. Removal of the illegal encroachments from the state land is necessary, so that land can be used for construction of big projects like IIT and IIM etc, as the land is nearer to Jammu City, National Highway, Airport and Railways, hence it is suitable for housing big projects. Tawi is lifeline of people of Jammu region and is regarded as Surajputri (Goddess). Beside this, the river has got tremendous Potential of attracting Tourists and Pilgrims. I praise Ministry of forest for recovering huge forest land from land mafia at various places in the state. I also praise District Administration Jammu for this bold initiative to get state land free from illegal occupation. ERA Department also deserves appreciation for getting prime land vacated from illegal occupants. Tawi Andolan does not object to providing accommodation to the genuine homeless people at some proper place and under some proper planning. I demand police action against all illegal occupants of the state land who have come from Bangladesh , Myanmar and other part of our own state unreasonably. At last I pay rich tributes to the martyrs of Pathankot and the Soldiers killed in avalanches in Ladakh. Others who are present here namely Subash Gupta (Co-Convenor), Surinder Sharma, Prof. Rajinder Mishra, Dr. Prem sharma, J.K. Chopra, Ravi Sharma and Raj Kumar .

Comprehensive dialogue a welcome step: Prof Virender

Prof. Verinder GuptaState BJP welcomes the joint statement of Pakistan and India issued after the Foreign Affairs Minister, Shushma Swaraj met Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sherif and Pakistan Advisor on Foreign Affairs, Sartaz Aziz on the concluding day of her two-day visit for attending a multilateral conference on Afghanistan. BJP also appreciated the decision to hold comprehensive dialogue between the two countries that would include Confidence Building Measures(CBMs), Siachen, Sir Creek Wullar Barrage, Economic and commercial co-operation, counter terrorism, narcotics control, humanitarian issues, people to people exchange and religious terrorism. BJP State Spokesperson Prof. Virender Gupta hoped that as per the consensus arrived between National security Advisors of India and Pakistan, who had recently met in Bangkok on the issues connected to the terrorism shall be addressed and said that Pakistan shall take necessary steps to expedite the early disposal of the Mumbai attack trial cases. The Spokesperson appreciated the efforts of Narendra Modi who has been constantly trying to have friendly and fruitful relations with other countries since he took over as the Prime Minister of the country. He expressed hope that Pakistan shall respond positively and would not back track and sabotage the efforts to bring peace in the subcontinent. He said that as a first step to restore peace, Pakistan should close the terrorist training camps on its soil, stop infiltration and ceasefire violations. Prof. Virender Gupta added that looking at the recent events in the Gulf countries, the challenges of radicalism and emerging international political scenario, it is in the interest of Pakistan to curb all type of terrorism, including that it sponsored in Indian soil. Prof. Virender Gupta appealed to the opposition parties, particularly the Congress party to not draw advance conclusions at the initial stage of the dialogue process, instead they should stand by the government on the issue and play a positive role in restoring peace in the sub continent so that the development of both the countries may get impetus and the issue of removing poverty be addressed.

Opposition must introspect and accept reality: BJP

Balbir Ram RattanThe leaders of opposition parties, who always remain desperate to hold the present PDP-BJP coalition government responsible for every misdeed, need to first introspect as to what they are uttering keeping in mind that this dispensation has been in power for just nine months while their parties were running the state affairs for decades together after independence. This was stated by BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan while advising these leaders to have patience and honour the mandate of people, who have shown them the door for their misdeeds and duplicity. Balbir Ram Rattan said it is most unfortunate that the top leaders of NC, Congress and Panthers party have made it a routine to blame the state’s PDP-BJP coalition government for everything while the fact is that these parties were running the past governments in coalition or on their own and whatever the state and the people are facing today are the results of the misdoings of the past and cannot be accurated in a week or few months. “The extent of desperation among these leaders can be well judged from the fact that they issue statements on daily basis, which do not have any significance or relevance and made just for the sake of remaining in news”, Balbir said and added that opposition parties must follow political ethics while going public. Balbir Ram Rattan reminded these parties that the state had earned the distinction of being second most corrupt state in India in the past but during the last 9 months not even a single case of corruption has been noticed, it is one of the greatest achievement of PDP-BJP coalition and the opposition must accept this reality. Not only this, hundreds of kanals of forest land has been retrieved from encroachers, which was illegally occupied in the past when Congress or NC were in power. Is it not a step towards good governance ? Balbir told these parties that MNREGA, Solar Lights Project, PMGSY, Roshni Scheme etc. were undertaken during the earlier governments and hence a number of related scams took place when it was NC or Congress or Panthers in coalition. Not only in central CAG report but J&K CAG too highlighted many scams and shortcomings of previous regimes, when thousand of crores of rupees remained blocked or unutilized leading to halting of various projects. JKCA scam, illegal occupation of forest land, making transfers in education department as an industry, promoting nepotism etc. did take place during the previous governments and the people are well aware of it. “The PDP-BJP coalition government got liabilities to the tune of thousands of crores as gift from the previous government and it is working towards bringing the state on rails”, said Balbir and appealed the opposition parties to support the government if they really want peace, progress, development and prosperity in the state.
