MEETING WITH UNION MINISTER OF STATE FOR HOME AFFAIRS

(February 16, 2020) I had a meeting at New Delhi with Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Shri G Kisan Reddy. The meeting was held at North Block today. Issues related to the J&K Waqf were discussed in detail. I presented a road-map to the Minister for re-structuring and streamlining of the J&K Waqf Board and apprised  Mr Reddy of the misuse of Waqf assets, properties and resources in J&K for the past seventy years by the ruling political dispensations for their political gains only. I requested the Minister to take concrete steps for the reform of the ailing J&K Waqf Board.

In addition to this an elaborate discussion on strengthening of the sufi & spiritual traditions of J&K by promoting the organisations and individuals associated with the sufi thought in J&K for recreating a peaceful & inclusive social structure in the trouble-hit union territory was held during the meeting.

Met Union Minister of State G Kishan Reddy at New Delhi. The meeting lasted for half an hour in which I apprised the minister of the latest political situation in J&K. The current security scenario was also discussed at length. The minister assured me that new Government led by Sri Narendra Modi will take very big steps for the welfare of J&K.  MoS Home hailed the steps taken by the Governor for the holistic development of the state. He said, “Peace and development was the mission of Modi government and Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and Sabka Vishwas was the governing mantra for the implementation of this mission”. I gave some suggestions for involving the youth of the state in the development process in the state. The MoS accepted the suggestions for consideration.
