Jammu: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Jammu Border District organized a seminar on the theme “Save Democracy, Eliminate Anarchy”, bringing together intellectuals, prominent citizens, representatives of various sections of society and party workers to discuss the importance of safeguarding democratic institutions and upholding the sanctity of the electoral process.
J&K BJP President and Rajya Sabha MP Sat Sharma (CA), accompanied by MLA Rajiv Bhagat, former MLA Ashwani Sharma and Jammu Border District President Rinku Choudhary, addressed the gathering.
Strongly criticizing the Congress party's political approach, Sat Sharma said that the opposition party repeatedly resorts to new slogans and campaigns in an attempt to mislead the public, without offering constructive solutions to the issues confronting the nation.
“The Congress party continues to revolve around its single family, making repeated attempts to relaunch the most privileged person through one political campaign after another. Sometimes it organizes a yatra, sometimes it raises a new slogan, but its campaigns fizzle out before gaining any real public traction,” Sat Sharma said.
Sharma emphasized that being citizens of the world's largest democracy carries a collective responsibility to protect the credibility of democratic institutions and respect the people's mandate. He called upon intellectuals, professionals, community representatives and political workers to counter misinformation and strengthen public confidence in India's constitutional framework.
Rajiv Bhagat said that the voter is supreme in a democracy and that making allegations against the electoral process without credible evidence undermines the wisdom of the electorate. He urged citizens to remain vigilant and actively participate in strengthening democratic awareness at the grassroots level.
Ashwani Sharma stressed that responsible political conduct, transparency, informed public participation and respect for constitutional institutions are essential pillars of a vibrant democracy.
Rinku Choudhary said the BJP would continue to encourage constructive, fact-based public discourse through such initiatives.
