BJP Urges Public Darbars for Displaced Kashmiri Pandits

The BJP's Jammu and Kashmir unit has called for public darbars to address grievances of displaced Kashmiri Pandits. The administration has scheduled darbars across districts starting July 3. Over 70,000 displaced persons live in migrant camps and need a platform to voice their concerns.

The BJP's Jammu and Kashmir unit on Monday urged the lieutenant governor's administration to organize public darbars specifically for the displaced Kashmiri Pandit community to address their various grievances.

Starting July 3, the LG's administration has laid out a 28-day calendar for holding public darbars in each of the twenty districts of Jammu and Kashmir, to be managed by senior administrative officers, including administrative secretaries.

'The deputy commissioners will oversee the organization of these darbars and ensure widespread publicity within their districts,' the General Administration Department's order stated.

Former legislator and BJP spokesperson G.L. Raina advocated for public darbars within the camps for the displaced community, citing their unique challenges of belonging to no specific district.

Raina emphasized that with more than 70,000 displaced Kashmiri Pandits living in five migrant camps and non-camps in Jammu district, separate darbars are necessary to address issues related to their original districts in the Kashmir Valley comprehensively.

'Separate darbars conducted by the administrative secretaries would enable them to voice their concerns inclusively,' he told reporters.

Raina was optimistic about the administration recognizing the necessity of this initiative, expressing hope it would effectively address their concerns.

The BJP spokesperson welcomed the newly issued roster for administrative secretaries to conduct public darbars across various districts in July.

'A fresh roster has been published detailing the schedules for the administrative secretaries from different departments, specifying the dates and locations for the public darbars,' Raina said.

'This is a positive step towards ensuring a responsive administration,' he added, noting its role as a crucial communication bridge between the people and the administration.
