Jammu, April 07, 2025 – Union Home Minister Amit Shah chaired a significant meeting of all Bharatiya Janata Party MLAs and senior leaders from Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday at the BJP headquarters in Jammu. The gathering, held ahead of key political discussions, underscored the party’s focus on strengthening its presence in the region.
Before the meeting commenced, Amit Shah paid heartfelt tributes to prominent historical figures associated with Jammu and Kashmir and the BJP’s ideological roots. He honored Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyay, Maharaja Hari Singh, and Pt. Prem Nath Dogra, acknowledging their contributions to the nation and the region’s history. The tribute ceremony took place at the BJP headquarters, reflecting the party’s commitment to its foundational values.
The meeting brought together BJP MLAs and senior leaders to deliberate on critical issues concerning Jammu and Kashmir, with a focus on development, security, and political strategy. Sources indicate that Amit Shah emphasized the importance of unity and coordination among party members to address the region’s challenges effectively.
Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, a key figure in the BJP’s predecessor, the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, is remembered for his advocacy for Jammu and Kashmir’s integration with India. Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyay, another ideological stalwart, contributed the philosophy of integral humanism, which continues to guide the BJP. Maharaja Hari Singh, the last ruling monarch of Jammu and Kashmir, signed the Instrument of Accession in 1947, while Pt. Prem Nath Dogra was a prominent leader in the Praja Parishad movement, advocating for the region’s interests.
The Department of Information and Public Relations, Jammu and Kashmir, reported on the event, highlighting its significance in the current political landscape. The meeting comes at a time when Jammu and Kashmir remains a focal point for the BJP’s agenda, particularly following the abrogation of Article 370 and the subsequent reorganisation of the erstwhile state into a Union Territory.
Amit Shah’s visit to Jammu and his engagement with BJP leaders signal the party’s proactive approach as it navigates the complex socio-political dynamics of the region. The tribute to these iconic figures also serves as a reminder of the BJP’s historical ties to Jammu and Kashmir, reinforcing its narrative of national integration and development.
Further details of the discussions during the meeting are awaited, but the event has already generated considerable attention among political observers and the public alike.
