JAMMU: Bharatiya Janata Party Jammu and Kashmir State Secretary and State Convenor of Yuva Samvad Campaign, Arun Sharma, has said that the party will intensify the second phase of its nationwide Yuva Samvad Campaign from November 15 to reach out to the younger generation and make them aware of the importance, need and benefits of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
He was discussing this forthcoming second phase campaign with party leaders Prof. Kulbhushan Mohtra, Balbir Ram Rattan, Rajinder Chib, Pooja Grover, Narinder Singh, Rohin Chandan, Ashutosh Gupta, Ramesh Katoch and Dr. Vivek Sharma on Tuesday at party headquarters.
Arun Prabhat Singh, Neha Mahajan and Danish Bhat are the team members of the campaign. Arun Sharma said that the campaign is being undertaken in J&K as part of the BJP's nationwide programme named “Loktantra Bachao, Arajkata Hatao”, aimed at strengthening democratic values, spreading awareness and countering what the party describes as the false and misleading narrative being spread by Congress and other opposition political parties regarding SIR.
He said that under this campaign, BJP leaders and workers will reach out to youth in schools, colleges, universities and other educational institutions, besides organising interactive sessions, discussions and awareness programmes at different places.
Arun Sharma said that the main objective of Yuva Samvad is to educate young citizens, particularly first-time voters, about the significance of maintaining accurate, updated and transparent electoral rolls.
He said that SIR is an important exercise intended to ensure that every eligible citizen gets the opportunity to exercise the right to vote, while duplicate, incorrect and outdated entries are identified and addressed according to prescribed procedures.
Arun said that Congress and other opposition parties are creating unnecessary confusion among people by presenting SIR in a negative manner just to divert the attention of the people from their failures. He alleged that such misleading statements are aimed at creating doubts about an exercise intended to strengthen the electoral system.
Arun Sharma said that the younger generation must understand the importance of free and fair elections and should not be influenced by rumours, misinformation or politically motivated propaganda.
He further said that youth are the future of democracy and their active participation is essential for building a strong, responsible and aware society. Sharma expressed confidence that the campaign would help spread awareness, clear misconceptions and encourage young citizens to become responsible participants in India's democratic process.
