Jammu, Oct 12: Vikram Singh Bhadwal, General Secretary (Organisation) of Lok Janshakti Party (Ramvilas), J&K, on Sunday called upon National Conference (NC) vice president, Omar Abdullah to ensure representation for Jammu-based MLAs in the government cabinet. He emphasised the need for equal representation, particularly for those MLAs who have supported the formation of the government in Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing the media persons here, Singh said, “The aspirations of the people of the Jammu region must be honoured by inducting their representatives into the Council of Ministers. The National Conference must recognize the contributions of Jammu-based Independent MLAs won from the Jammu region including Satish Sharma from Akhnoor, Payare Lal Sharma from Inderwal, Ch Mohammad Akram from Surankote and Thakur Rameshwar Singh from Bani and provide them with an opportunity to serve in the Cabinet, ensuring a balanced representation across the regions.”
Vikram highlighted the importance of restoring statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, a demand that resonates with the people across the Union Territory. He appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take necessary steps to restore the erstwhile state’s status, saying this move would bolster the political, social and economic landscape of J&K.
“Restoring statehood is not just a matter of status but a step towards empowering the people of Jammu and Kashmir. It is time to honour the commitment made to the people of the region,” he added.
The Lok Jan Shakti Party (Ramvilas) has consistently advocated for the rights and development of the people of J&K and Vikram Singh reiterated the party’s commitment to ensuring equal representation and justice for all sections of society, the statement said.
