The only thing we see in our action today is we follow that path which is easy and free from obstacles. Basically, each of us is fully submerged in a world of showoff where there is no practical audience.

If there is a Noble Prize for dirt and filth India will win it in deed,” hitting national pride and ignoring to take corrective steps. Our PM Narindera Modi during his surprise visit took the broom and swept the scattered filth in police station premises advising staff there to keep area clean. The latter during his Independence Day address from Red Fort exhorted people to build toilets, end open defecation and join ‘Swachhata Abhiyan’ launched by the government.

Modi led this campaign by actually doing it as Prime Minister expecting of us all to take pride in mothering the nation and enthusiastically coming forward to build a “Swachh Bharat’ the dream of Mahatma Gandhi and Narindera Bhai Modi. He said considering our selves fortunate being led by a selfless committed PM Modi, we should at least not falter in learning from him.

Keeping this in view, solar power plant was envisaged for the office complex which has now become functional.
Speaking on the occasion, Sh. Shamsher Singh Manhas highlighted that geographical location of the country stands to its benefit and India has tremendous scope of generating solar energy.

Since majority of the population lives in rural areas, there is much scope for solar energy being promoted in these areas. Use of solar energy can
reduce the use of firewood by rural household. He further said that Solar power is inexhaustible. In energy deficient country like India, where power generation is costly, solar energy is the best alternate means of power generation and we don’t need a power or gas grid to get solar energy. A solar energy system can be installed anywhere. Solar panels can be easily placed in houses. Hence, it is quite inexpensive compared to other
sources of energy. He appreciated the efforts of NHPC for installing On Grid Solar Power Plant at its Regional Office being a clean renewable resource with zero emission. A vote of thanks was presented by Sh. Yoginder Kotha, Chief Engineer (Civil).

Bharatiya Janata Party Jammu & Kashmir totally rejects and condemns the contents of the additional affidavit submitted by J&K Bar Association, Kashmir to the Honourable Supreme Court stated Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson, in a press release issued by the Party. “The stand taken by the Honourable Supreme Court on the issue is highly praiseworthy and a befitting rebuttal to the well planned mischief being played by a section of the Kashmir civil society. The Bench headed by none other than the Honourable Chief Justice of India has expressed shock at the controversial averments made by the bar body in the additional affidavit”, according to Brig Gupta.
Earlier, in a petition in the J&K High Court the bar association has insisted on a “unilateral declaration of cease-fire”, withdrawal of security forces, revocation of AFSPA and stoppage of using pellet guns. The High Court had rejected the bar body's plea seeking a ban on use of pellet guns on the ground that the Centre had already set up a Committee of Experts through its memorandum of July 26, 2016 for exploring alternatives to pellet guns. The Bar Association had challenged this order in the Supreme Court. Considering the Bar to be a “responsible” and “respectable” body the Court asked it to help in finding a solution and asked it come up with suggestions to resolve the crisis, including stone-pelting and violent street protests in the Valley. The Bar association betrayed the faith imposed in it by the Apex Court by making mischievous and motivated allegations in its additional affidavit like the “accession of J&K to India is mysterious and controversial”, rued Brig Gupta.
It is quite perplexing that a body of legal experts all of a sudden realises that the Instrument of Accession signed by the Maharaja 70 years ago is mysterious and remained silent on this aspect all this while. It clearly indicates the motive behind this. Now that the voices are being raised for amending the Constitution and for removal of discriminatory provisions that have prevented total assimilation of the State with India and the entire matter is subjudice in the Apex Court such statements are being made by those who are supposed be legal experts to mislead and provoke the people in the state, said Brig Gupta.
Accession of J&K is a settled issue with no legal lacuna. Not only the Instrument of Accession was signed by the Maharaja as per the Indian Independence Act 1947 and was identical to the one signed by rulers of other more than 500 states, the accession has subsequently been ratified by the J&K Constituent Assembly in 1954 and included in the constitution of the State. The Constituent Assembly was mandated to recommend abrogation of Article 370 before its dissolution which it failed to do thus doing a great disservice to the people of this state. This act of the Constituent Assembly is mysterious and controversial and not the accession of the State, asserted Brig Gupta.

It’s alright when an institution lacks a facility. Authorities learn to manage though unsatisfactorily and cribbing. But when raising of essential facility is left half way for years signifying neglect, it’s painfully discouraging and poorly reflecting. Under construction multipurpose hall suffering neglect for years at Govt. Girls Higher Secondary School Miran Sahib being used as parking lot ideally reflects the latter.
GGHSS Miran Sahib is an old institution deserving to be declared a heritage school. Over 450 students are enrolled. To provide for exigencies of inclement weather or letting students be addressed by guest speakers collectively besides morning assembly, there is no provision. Collective essential school activity is at the mercy of weather.

It’s not lying idle. Though not serving students it’s planned for, it serves as a parking lot.

Bharatiya Janata Party expressed it dismay that the National Conference has not given up playing politics with the people of Jammu and Kashmir. National Conference did not provide efficient governance and did precious little for development of the state. Instead it is responsible for creating militancy in the state. Has National Conference forgotten the political accord of 1975 between the centre and Sheikh Abdullah, and what it did since then when in power, asked Dr Narinder Singh state general secretary BJP. It neither provided bilji , sdak and pani nor created any positive narrative in the politics of the state. The BJP is trying its best for development of the state on all fronts and to restore normalcy in the strife torn Kashmir Valley. Dr Singh said that the BJP is committed to Agenda of Alliance for development and fighting gun wielding militants. He recalled that Ram Madhav general secretary BJP on his recent visit to Kashmir Valley hailed the “efforts” of the coalition partners –the BJP and the PDP—and the security forces in combating militancy and had requested opposition parties to cooperate without getting involved in the “political game of provocations” so that total normalcy is restored in the state. National Conference did not rise to the occasion but it is unfortunate that NC is continuing its negative narrative. Dr. Singh also questioned NC for not showing compassion when in power between 2008 and 2016 and doing nothing to eliminate gun wielding militancy, money laundering by separatist leaders. The separatists under the garb of azadi movement were amassing unaccounted wealth in the state , befooling people, and NC was a mute spectator of this loot and plunder . He said BJP is committed to restore complete normalcy so that the development of the will gather pace. He asked political parties not to play politics with militancy but join the vision of the Prime Mister in making J&K a developed state.

Partition of India in 1947 was a grave mistake, which was inspired less by the will of the people and more by the motivation of political self interest of a handful of individuals who were in a hurry to reach the top of hierarchy, even if that was at the cost of the division of the sub-continent followed by the history’s biggest ever exchange of population and the genocide in the aftermath.
This forthright and hitherto rarely expressed view was stated by Union MoS Dr Jitendra Singh in his address as chief guest after releasing two books based on Jammu & Kashmir related thoughts of ideologue and thinker Indresh Kumar, published by Prabhat Prakashan.
Quoting instances from history, Dr Jitendra Singh said, the coming generations of historians will definitely record the partition of Indian sub-continent as one of the gravest mistakes in the recent centuries. He said, the irony is that the argument to have a separate Islamic State for Muslims in the name of Pakistan failed to find favour even with prominent Muslim intellectuals, scholars andlittérateurs of that time. He referred to Progressive Writers’ Forum comprising prominent Muslim brains like Kaifi Azmi, Mohsin Bhopali, Akbar Allahabadi, Ismat Chugtai and Sahir Ludhianvi who had vociferously and outrightly opposed the partition, but were overruled by the political ambition of politicians like Mohammad Ali Jinnah and Jawaharlal Nehru.
As far as J&K is concerned, Dr Jitendra Singh reiterated his view that J&K is as much a State of Indian Union as any other State like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. He said there is no issue like Kashmir issue and the need of the hour is to change the discourse and to set an agenda of debate for others to respond.

Tika lal was never a coward, never a tyrant, never a communalist and above all never a Hypocrite. He lived bravely & he died a brave death. In his death as in his life he bewildered everybody. Even the assassin could not face him and shot him from behind. Thousands of men & women, young and old, friend and foe; mighty and poor - cried and wailed together for their brave man. Lastly he appealed people to get united and fight for the cause Lalla sacrificed his life.
Chand Jee Bhat President while delivering speech said "Tika Lal Taploo" was a politician and rose to the high office of Vice President of Pradesh Bhartiya Janta Party. He was a fearless, transparent, honest and an upright politician. Never succumbing to pressures on principles, never cringing before the highest; never failing to call an ace an ace even against overwhelming odds. Whether he was in bar, where he was a loner, or in Lal Chowk amongst a multitude of people, he would never compromise on principles. He did dare to raise the cry for 'Democracy' while being maligned and dragged in Lal Chowk by the police in those unforgettable days of emergency, when the mightiest in the land had either been put behind bars or where cringing.
Ashtosh Taploo son of Tika Lal Taploo while in tears said many years have passed, since this cowardly act; the entire Hindu Community and all the nationalist elements in the valley have been forced out of the wailing Valley. "Kashmir" abode of Kashyp Rishi has become a heaven for Terrorists & Insurgents. Kashmiri Hindus have been hounded out of Kashmir for being Nationalists. Tika Lal Taploo's death has left not only him but also Kashmiri Hindus really orphaned.

Memorandum for kind consideration of the Union Home Minister, Sh. Rajnath Singh ji.
Esteemed Sir,
The Jammu & Kashmir BJP welcomes the efforts of Central Government and its agencies to destroy module of militancy in the valley and which has met with unprecedented success. In recent past, we have witnessed sharp decline in militancy support base in valley and the impact of strategic investigations by NIA has constricted the financial support and base of separatists and militants/stone pelters. Without money, the anti-national movement cannot last long and we will soon witness an era of peace in state. The State BJP demands that NIA investigation scope be broadened and all supporters of separatism be investigated. If provision is added for immediate confiscation of properties of separatists, militants and their over-ground supporters and speedy trial to be concluded within six months, it will send fear down the spines of supporters of anti-national elements and break the back of the militancy.
The State BJP is also witness to history in making when Supreme Court is hearing plea against 35A, which has only helped separatism ideology and secluded the state from National mainstream. We are bound by “Agenda of Alliance” not to do anything active to change constitutional position but decision by Supreme Court will go long way in bringing era of peace in State.
The State BJP requests the Centre government to continue good projects being executed in state and would request for undertaking further Jammu centric projects especially in respect of infrastructure and tourism. The State BJP requests for taking early steps for laying railways line from Jammu to Poonch and Jammu to Doda, to bond these two neglected regions more intimately with Jammu and national mainstream and thereby thwart designs of enemies of nation who spread communal separation and hatred in these regions.
· The State BJP is of the considered view that the Rohingyas from Mayanmar should not be allowed into J&K state and demands that those who have come should be deported without any delay.
· The rehabilitation package for persons of Pak occupied Kashmir settled in Jammu and elsewhere should be immediately given effect to and ensured that no genuine refugee from PoK is left out from the package. Some 5300 families among them who had left the state were excluded by the then State government in 1971 and even on their return back to state, they are still being denied the rehabilitation package announced by PoJK.
· As an immediate measure, the identification certificate that was being provided to West Pak Refugees and later on stopped, should be again resumed. This will facilitate their employment in central services and security forces.
· PM’s Rehabilitation Package of 6000 jobs to Kashmiri migrants should be forthwith provided to them. These migrant employees should be provided adequate, secure and suitably located residential accommodation in the valley.
· To provide protected shelters to the border people, bunkers need to be constructed for individual families to instil a feeling of security among them.
· Large number of families of border areas stand deprived of their fertile agriculture land because the same fell outside the border fencing and they are required to be provided adequate compensation for the loss of access to their land and its produce.
· The border people be provided special insurance for their live stock which invariably gets injured and killed by firing from across the border.

पवन खजुरिया जी ने आगे कहा कि भाजपा विकास को लेकर कटिबद्ध है। हमारे लोक सभा के सांसद और पीएमओ में राज्य मंत्री डॉ जतिंदर सिंह जी ऊधमपुर में कई विकास कार्यों में अपना भरपूर योगदान दे रहे हैं। इनके अलावा प्रदेश भाजपा ने राज्यसभा सदस्य श्री शमशेर सिंह मन्हास जी व एमएलसी अशोक खजुरिया जी को भी विशेष तौर पर ऊधमपुर में मार्गदर्शन व विधानसभा में विकास के लिए फंड्स जारी करने के लिए नामांकित किया है। इसलिए अगर कार्यकर्ताओं को अगर कोई अपने इलाके के विकास के लिए जरूरत है तो पार्टी कार्यालय में सम्पर्क कर सकते हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि स्थानीय विधायक कई मोकों पर मोदी जी की सराहना करते हैं लेकिन कई मौकों पर भाजपा को कोसते रहते हैं। उनकी यह दोगली नीति समझ से परे है।
वरिष्ठ नेता सोमराज जी ने कहा कि मण्डलों की बैठकों में शक्ति केंद्र तथा बूथों की संरचना की जाती है ताकि संगठन मजबूत हो सके ,अब पार्टी किसी विशेष व्यक्ति के हाथों में नहीं बल्कि एक टीम के हाथों में है।
