JAMMU, Jan 14: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) today made it clear that there should be no discrimination with any region of J&K UT post abrogation of Article 370 and every region should get its due attention in development and public welfare schemes.
This was stated by RSS Sarkarivah (national general secretary) Suresh Ji who is popularly called Bhaiya Ji Joshi while interacting with various leaders of Sangh and BJP on the last day of his four day tour to Jammu here today.
Taking serious exception that Jammu has not yet got the desired attention for promotion of tourism and development of tourist resorts to boost the local economy and help in employment generation, the RSS leader said in categorical terms that this practice should end once and for all now as there should be no complaints of discrimination and people of both the regions should be paid equal opportunities for their upliftment.
He stressed on giving more thrust to promotion of tourism, education and healthcare in Jammu region also as it has faced a neglect in the past to a great extent. The RSS leader also stressed on formulation of a blue print for return and rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandits to Valley so that they will remain connected with their roots and culture.
Meanwhile, under its nationwide campaign of collecting donations for construction of grand and magnificent Ram Temple at Ayodhya, Bhaiya Ji Joshi formally launched the Shri Ram Janambhoomi temple construction fund collection and Sampark Program in Jammu and Kashmir today.

In Jammu and Kashmir province, this campaign will continue from Makar Sankranti i.e. January 14 to Magh Purnima, February 27, 2021.
Speaking on the occasion Bhaiya Ji Joshi said it is not just a fund collection event, but a program to connect people and the society. He said that the cooperation and devotion of the society have ensured beginning of the construction of this grand temple of Sri Ram at Ayodhya which was the aspiration of millions of Hindus around the globe.
He said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have also made a remarkable contribution in every Kar Seva of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi with their physical ,spiritual and monetary support and they did not lag behind from the people in other parts of the country. He said with the blessings of Shri Ram, the construction work of the grand temple in Ayodhya has started and large number of people have sacrificed themselves for the construction of this temple and hoped that this campaign would give impetus to the temple construction campaign.
