Srinagar, May 16: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference Chief Spokesperson and In Charge Constituency Zadibal Tanvir Sadiq on Tuesday said that women have a key role in the establishment of a progressive and emancipated society.
He said this while addressing a women’s wing meeting at Hawal, Srinagar. The convention was presided over by Party’s Provincial Women’s Wing President Er. Sabiya Qadri. Tanvir Sadiq was the chief guest. On the occasion BJP Vice President District Srinagar Sameena, JKPC Corporator Umar Colony Afroza, and Corporator Hawal Nazia Ashraf joined J&K National Conference, a party statement issued here said.
Welcoming the new entrants into the party fold, Tanvir said the joining will have a tremendous impact amongst not just women but all the subaltern masses. He said that opponents of NC have “miserably failed” to capture the imagination of the people in Srinagar.
Empowering women and harnessing their talent for nation-building has been central to the party’s policy, Tanvir said, adding, “It was NC which brought women of Jammu and Kashmir into the political discourse and took upon itself to change the fate of women of J&K under its revolutionary Naya Kashmir manifesto. In the later decades also, whenever NC was in power, it left no stone unturned to transform its vision of empowering women into reality.”
Exhorting the women functionaries, Er Sabiya Qadri said, “Women of Jammu and Kashmir are suffering from more predictable issues as a result of unemployment, household violence, dowry, destitution, and malnutrition; there has been no headway towards bolstering the socio, economic and political prospects of women.”
