Srinagar, Nov 27: Bharatiya Janata Party national executive member and senior party leader Dr Darakhshan Andrabi Sunday said there is wave of enthusiasm among youths towards the inclusive and progressive nationalistic ideology of BJP which is squeezing political space of many old and outdated parties in Kashmir.
She said youth prefer to associate themselves with the mainstream nationalistic politics of BJP led by the visionary Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Dr Darakhshan was chairing the BJP party convention at Langate in North Kashmir.
A statement said, the convention was the first-ever mega-scale party meeting held in the area “which remained infected with the separatist political upheavals during the past decades.”
The convention was organized by the Ex-Vice Chairman and sitting Councilor of Langate Municipality Jameel Ahmad Rather in which around two hundred and fifty people mainly youth from Langate and adjoining villages became BJP members after formally joining the party.
Dr Andrabi along with Jameel Ahmad Rather and senior BJP leader Abdul Rehman Lone welcomed the new entrants into the party fold. “It was a positive scene to witness the enthusiasm of the people of the area, especially the youth towards the progressive outlook of the party,” Dr Darakhshan said.
She hailed the efforts of BJP cadres and party leaders at ground zero “who day and night serve the masses without any political exploitation.” She took a dig at the “provocative politics of the old rotten political lot” who as per Andrabi were “habitual of nourishing their sinister political designs by exploiting public sentiments on non-issues.”
“J&K has come far ahead now, leaving behind the curses of old dynastic politics. Prime Minister’s vision of transforming J&K into a Atam Nirbhar and prosperous entity is being practically implemented by the Manoj Sinha led government,” said Dr Darakhshan.
She also took a dig at those who are stuck at their statehood restoration chants. “New J&K is the reality and we should live in the real world rather than go to the sellers of falsehood. Statehood, as promised by the Government of India will be restored after the elections are held and the law & order is completely under control.
“Anti-separatism, anti-terror operations are going on in full swing. We are destined to see very peaceful and prosperous days now,” said the BJP national executive member.
