In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family
  • Says conspiracies by BJP to destabilize elected government will fail

JAMMU:  The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference Provincial President Jammu Rattan Lal Gupta said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have reposed their faith and trust in the democratically elected Government led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. The overwhelming public support received by the Government reflects the aspirations of the people for peace, development, good governance, and democratic empowerment.

Interacting with the senior party functionaries at Sher-e- Kashmir Bhavan, Jammu today. Rattan Lal Gupta said that it is unfortunate that certain forces, including BJP and other sections of the Opposition, are indulging in a dirty game plan aimed at destabilizing the elected Government. Such attempts are not merely directed against a political party or a government but amount to an assault on the democratic mandate of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

The repeated efforts to create uncertainty, spread misinformation, and obstruct the functioning of the Government are against the spirit of the Constitution and democratic norms. Any conspiracy to weaken or topple a democratically elected Government undermines the very foundations of democracy and disrespects the verdict of the people. The LOP and such frustrated and confused BJP leaders are day dreaming for getting the power like Mageri Lal’s dreams.

Despite numerous challenges, limited powers, and continued administrative constraints, the Omar-led Government has been performing effectively and remains committed to fulfilling its promises. The Government has consistently focused on public welfare, development, employment generation, social justice, and strengthening democratic institutions, Mr Gupta.

The people of Jammu and Kashmir are politically aware and will not allow vested interests to sabotage the democratic process. Those attempting to destabilize the Government for narrow political gains must remember that democracy can flourish only when the people's mandate is respected. It is unfortunate that the Centre is intentionally delaying the restoration of Statehood to J&K that amounts to betray and showing disrespect to the people’s mandate, he added.

The National Conference stands firmly committed to safeguarding democratic values and protecting the constitutional rights and aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Among others who were present included: Sheikh Bashir Ahmad Provincial Secretary Jammu, Vijay Lochan Chairman SC Cell, S. Tejinder Singh Aman Provincial President Jammu YNC, Chander Mohan Sharma District President Jammu Urban, S. Gurnam Singh District Secretary Jammu Urban, Tarseem Khullar, Dev Raj, Rashpal Bassa, Sparsh Parihar, Arundeep Singh and  Tejpal Singh

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.
