UDHAMPUR, Nov 20: Ranbir Singh Pathania, ex MLA and spokesperson J&KBJP said that all the slogans, promises and false hopes shown by non BJP parties have turned hollow.
While addressing a series of meetings at Dhema, Manwal, Majalta, and Rowndomail in Udhampur district he said the people of J&K stand firm behind BJP’s gospel of ‘Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas’. In DDC elections also these political parties ganged up under one banner of PAGD but even then the people of J&K voted for the party.
With the inclusion of new communities under ST category, taking of historic development initiatives, B2V, public outreach, transparency in selections and allotment of tenders, the people of J&K seem enthused by the new model. Justice and meritocracy is the hallmark over here, he said.
More so, the way the Prime Minister and Home Minister have created an atmosphere at national to international level with strong-willed stand against terror has again struck a direct chord with the people of J&K, Pathania said. No State could afford to stand soft against terrorism, he added.
The BJP leader said identifying the growing need to strike and formulate a global strategy against the increased threat of terrorism, India has convened third ‘No Money For Terror’ Ministerial Conference on Counter-Terrorism Financing in New Delhi on Friday.
“It is significant that this conference is happening in India. Our country faces the horrors of terror long before the world took serious note of it. Over the decades, terrorism in different names and forms tried to hurt India. We lost thousands of precious lives, but we have fought terrorism bravely,” he quoted PM Modi as saying.
People of J&K, those who are facing brunt of terrorism since so many decades have rallied being the strategic shift of the Sarkar.
The meetings also harped on various initiatives and organisational programmes of the party.
Among others who were present included Kuldeep Singh district general secretary, Mohan Lal Sharma, Capt. (retd) Gopal Singh Mankotia (Both Mandal Pardhans), Shiv Ram, Ved Pal, Baldev Singh Mankotia (Mandal general secretaries), Ramesh Gupta, Karnail Singh, Sudesh Kumar, Charan Dass, Suneet Singh, Haji Mohammed Din, Surinder Singh Sarpanch, Manoj Verma, Nek Ram, Haji Azeem, Ankush Verma, Mohan Lal, Saif Ali, Subash Chander and others
