JAMMU, Nov 22: Pawan Sharma, senior leader and district Doda Prabhari for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) denounced the Omar Abdullah-led Government’s purported bias against Hindi, Sanskrit, and Dogri languages in its recently referred lecturer job positions to the competent authority.
Addressing media representatives and party workers, Sharma expressed his deep concern over the marginalization of these languages, which he referred to as integral to the cultural and linguistic heritage of Jammu and Kashmir.

disproportionate concentration on specific languages, while neglecting Hindi, Sanskrit, and Dogri, which represent the linguistic identity of Jammu and the wider region.
He censured the Omar Abdullah Government for its evident apathy towards fostering regional and classical languages, crucial to conserving Jammu and Kashmir’s unique and diverse cultural heritage.
Sharma raised concerns regarding the inadequate representation of educators specializing in these languages, emphasizing the necessity to foster opportunities for their professional advancement within the education sector.
