KISHTWAR, Nov 18: Campaigning in remote areas of Chhattru, Kuchal, Kukrawas and other places in Inderwal Assembly Constituency of District Kishtwar, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) of the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr. Jitendra Singh said here today that for the first time,there is a visible Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) wave across community lines in Inderwal because people have realized that BJP is the only party which can ensure for all of them a dignified life with safety and without fear.
Addressing a series of public meetings in Muslim dominated areas, Dr. Jitendra Singh said that BJP is the only truly secular party because its ethos teach the practice of justice and fair-play for one and all without discrimination or distinction. Those who raise the slogans of secularism are in fact trying to befool people by instigating them in the name of religion while they themselves are not committed to any religion or faith,he added.
Dr. Jitendra Singh said that he always advises a Muslim to be a true Muslim and a Hindu to be a true Hindu, because if each one of them follows his respective religion faithfully, we will automatically have nothing but feeling of love and brotherhood for each other. Those who indulge in rhetoric of “secularism” are, in fact, not loyal to any religion and are therefore, neither true Hindu nor true Muslim, he added.
Referring to the continuing backwardness of Inderwal Assembly Constituency, Dr. Jitendra Singh said, time has come for common people of this area to ask the ruling parties of the last six decades as to why all the resources and Central assistance were diverted to other areas even while several leaders got elected from here and became Ministers in the State as well as at the Centre.
Appealing for a vote for BJP, Dr. Jitendra Singh said that this is a historic opportunity for the Inderwal Constituency to prove to the entire world that the voice of the common people from this area for the first time found its echo in the hall of Jammu & Kashmir State Assembly through the voice of a BJP MLA.
