JAMMU, Apr 12: Maintaining that BJP is well aware of the problems of Schedule Tribes in the State, party general secretary (Org) Ashok Koul said all efforts will be made to solve them at an earliest.
Koul was addressing a meeting of ST Morcha at party Headquarter, here today which was also attended by Jeevan Lal MLA, State president ST Morcha Dr. Tahir Chowdhary and Inchage All Morchas, Munish Sharma.
He said STs constitute a large percentage of the population of Jammu and Kashmir and BJP wants that they should not lag behind in progress from other people of the State.
Koul asked the Morcha members to reach the members of their community in all the three regions of the State, particularly the remote and far-flung areas where the community has thick population. He said that the objectives of constituting ST Morcha in BJP is to provide a plateform to the community in the party so that they can sit together and work towards educating them about the various welfare schemes launched by the government, which need to be availed by the poor and needy among them.
He stressed upon the State leaders of the Morcha to frame the committees at district and block level so that the members of the community have easy access to BJP in their respective areas.
Dr. Tahir Chowdhary, briefed the general secretary about the progress made so far in the framing of the district teams and said that the Morcha is getting over whelming response from the STs as the members of this neglected and discriminated section of the society have realized that each one of them is convinced that their welfare lies in standing with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He also discussed the general problems of the STs in the State and expressed hope that the BJP coalition government in J&K will also come forward to think of the STs.
