Jammu, Sept 13:
Senior BJP leader and party nominee for Jammu North Constituency, Sham Lal Sharma today said that BJP is the need of the hour for strengthening sustained peace, development and overall security scenario in Jammu Kashmir.
Maintaining that Jammu Kashmir is a very sensitive on security point of view that has witnessed long period of militancy and uncertainty, Sham Sharma stressed that upcoming elections will re-write the future of the coming generations. He said the BJP has taken several steps to curb the terrorism and subversive activities in Jammu and Kashmir for the past over one decade that helped restoration of complete peace and normalcy. The overall scenario has substantially changed on ground after the abrogation of Article 370, he asserted.
Addressing public meetings in different wards of Jammu North constituency, Sharma said that those responsible for destruction of Jammu and Kashmir are again trying to grab power by making false promises, propaganda and misleading the people. He cautioned the people against these opportunist and anti-national parties and said that they have a very dangerous game plan and intend to bring back the previous position and wash out the peace initiatives of the Central Government. He called for thwarting the attempts of these anti-national forces and giving a befitting reply in the elections.
Lauding the visionary leadership and holistic approach of Prime Minister, Narender Modi and Home Minister, Amit Shah for tactfully handling the situation of this trouble torn part of the country, Sharma said that steps taken for the past over one decade have yielded positive results on ground. Now there is no curfew, no hartal, no separatists’ calendar, no closure of institutions, no restrictions for the public, and every activity is normal in Kashmir valley. This is all because of the serious and relentless efforts of the Central Government. People don’t afford to see the shadow of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir again, and this can only be possible, if these (Congress-NC-PDP), supporters of militancy and separatism are kept away from the power, he maintained.
Promising better amenities and services in Jammu North constituency, Sharma said that he will focus on developing the constituency on modern lines and upgrade the existing infrastructure to improve the efficacy of essential services like drinking water, power supply, road connectivity and health services, which are basic needs of common people. He said administration will be toned up and every government functionary will be made accountable for their job. All public welfare schemes will be implemented in letter and spirit on ground to ensure that their benefits percolate down to the needy sections of the society.
Urging the people to extend whole-hearted support to BJP in the upcoming elections, Sharma said that there is a strong wave of BJP in the entire Jammu and Kashmir, and there will be a BJP led government this time. He also called upon the party cadre to launch a micro level campaign by involving every voter to seek their support in the elections.
