NEW DELHI, Nov 7 : Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science & Technology and Earth Sciences, MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Space and Atomic Energy, Dr Jitendra Singh has appealed to Kashmiri Pandit voters living outside the Valley to ensure that they vote in full strength and not allow even a single vote go waste.
For sorting out the issues of postal ballot paper or M-Form, he said, the BJP Headquarters in New Delhi at 11 Ashoka Road has already constituted a team of active “Karyakartas” who are in the process of collecting information/data of various displaced families living in NCR Delhi and elsewhere.
Dr Jitendra Singh was addressing an election meeting of Kashmiri Pandits in Gurgaon, organized by Kashyap Kashmir Sabha. He was accompanied by well known Hindi and Punjabi actor of Kashmir origin Preeti Sapru.
He said, a team of young active youth from the displaced community will start functioning from tomorrow itself and its main objective will be to coordinate and facilitate the exercise of franchise by displaced members of the community.
Being a highly literate and diligent community, Dr Jitendra Singh suggested that activists of the community should not confine their campaign only within the community but should also reach out to the non-Kashmiri sections of Jammu & Kashmir State living in Delhi and elsewhere, and motivate them to cast their vote. Similar exercise to facilitate casting of vote by Jammu & Kashmir voters is also being undertaken in Bengaluru, Pune and other parts of the country, he informed.
Describing the upcoming elections in Jammu & Kashmir as a crucial turning point in the political history of State, Dr Jitendra Singh said that wherever we are and whichever part of the country we live, as long as we are bonafide citizens of the Jammu & Kashmir, it is our responsibility towards nation and the next generation of countrymen to caste the vote for a change and contribute in reproducing in J&K, the BJP model of governance seen in other States ruled by the party.
