• Leads campaign for party candidates in Jammu North, Gulabgarh

GULABGARH: Senior BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Er Gulam Ali Khatana accused the National Conference (NC) and Congress of systematically neglecting the development of Muslim-majority areas.

During a door-to-door campaign in Gulabgarh assembly constituency, Khatana claimed that the two parties have systematically deprived Muslims of their fundamental rights. Mocking Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Khatana said, “Holding a copy of the Constitution means nothing without its implementation,” accusing Gandhi of misleading the Muslim community for political gain.

Khatana highlighted the underdevelopment in villages like Gulabgarh, citing poor road connectivity and a lack of housing under the PMAY scheme, which he attributed to years of NC-Congress rule. He further charged the opposition with keeping Muslims and Tribals illiterate and marginalized, accusing them of promoting a communal narrative to win votes.

In contrast, Khatana praised the BJP government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi for implementing the Forest Rights Act (FRA) in 2014, which granted significant rights to Tribal communities.

Khatana was accompanied by BJP leaders Chain Singh, Mushtaq Malik, Rashpal Singh, Uma Devi, Poran Singh, Chamel Singh, Bakasi Devi, Narinder Kour and many others. The team urged the Muslim community not to be misled by the tactics of NC and Congress. Earlier on Sunday evening, Khatana addressed a public meeting in Kheri village, rallying support for BJP’s Sham Lal Sharma in Jammu North
