In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

RAMNAGAR: Senior BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP, Er. Gulam Ali Khatana, lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for fostering a deep connection with the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

Speaking during a campaign rally for the party’s candidate in Ram Nagar, Udhampur, on Sunday morning Khatana highlighted the frequent visits of top BJP leaders to the region, underscoring their commitment to engaging with the masses.

Khatana praised the public’s overwhelming support for BJP in the Union Territory, noting that the people of J&K not only backed the party with their votes but also embraced its ideology of nation first, driving significant change in the region. “Our Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi Ji, and Home Minister Shri Amit Shah have left no stone unturned in meeting the expectations of J&K’s people, who endured decades of misrule and discrimination,” Khatana said.

He further emphasized that the Modi government has rectified the wrongs committed by previous regimes, ending political dynasties that contributed to societal divisions. “Modi Ji has unified the nation, providing equal opportunities to all, while rejecting the appeasement politics of Congress,” Khatana added.

He also stressed the government’s unwavering stance against terrorism, stating, “The BJP government is tackling terrorism in J&K with an iron hand, ensuring lasting peace and development in the region.”

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.
