Addressing the gathering, Kavinder said that after the Modi Government has exposed the political outfits including Congress, NC and PDP, which exploited the people in J&K for decades by spreading wrong narratives based on divisive agendas, the people have now realized that it is only BJP which can bail out masses from the morass created by aforesaid parties which ruled the region in the past. Kavinder said that under the dynamic leadership of PM Narendra Modi, Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed a transformative shift towards inclusive governance, ensuring that every community, including Muslims, receives the attention and benefits they rightfully deserve. "The BJP's commitment to the welfare and development of all sections of society, irrespective of their religious or cultural background, has started resonating deeply with the Muslim community and that is the reason behind this community reposing faith in BJP's leadership", he said, adding that party's initiatives have not only empowered the community but also provided them with a sense of belonging and security, which was lacking in the past. The senior BJP leader stated that BJP firmly believes in the principles of equality, justice, and progress for all and it is heartening to see that Muslims in Union Territory have recognized and embraced these values. He said that BJP leadership wanted to ensure that people should become part of the party's mission to build a peaceful, prosperous, and harmonious society, where every individual can thrive and contribute towards the growth and development of the nation. Kavinder said that the quantum of support which BJP is getting from the people in J&K, no entity can stand even closer in the Lok Sabha or for that matter Assembly polls whenever the same would be held.
