JAMMU, Jan 3: Jammu and Kashmir BJP Mahila Morcha (BJPMM) State president Sanjita Dogra, while chairing a meeting of Morcha office bearers at party Headquarter, Trikuta Nagar, here, today said that Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has come to be as ‘Massiah’ for the women folk in the country.
She said that while Narendra Modi-led Government at the Centre, has launched a large number of welfare schemes for the socio-economic upliftment of the women, the daughters of Jammu and Kashmir have got even a bonanza and are indebted to the Prime Minister.
Sanjita Dogra said that during the last over nine and half years, the women in Jammu and Kashmir, like other parts of the country, have availed benefits of dozens of welfare schemes, which have changed their lives and paved way for their dignified life. She said that it is the same Modi Government, which took a bold and historic decision to restore the rights of the daughters of Jammu and Kashmir by repealing Article 35A.
“It was most unfortunate that during the rule of previous Governments of non-BJP parties, a female marrying outside Jammu and Kashmir, had to lose her right on parental property and all such privileges which others enjoyed, but now everything has changed and these daughters of the soil have all the rights and claims in J&K of which they had been deprived. She asked the woman leaders present in the meeting to educate the women in their areas about splendid achievements of Modi Government, particularly the welfare schemes for women.
Mahila Morcha leaders including Vaishno Sharma, Andita Gandotra, Suman Raina, Archana Koushal, Vidhushi Chouhan, Geetanjali Mahajan, Sunita Raina, Pooja Grover and Rashida were prominent who attended this meeting.
