The second term of the BJP government at the Center is about to end. PoJK still remains under the control of Pakistan, those claiming united Jammu and Kashmir, four and a half years ago on 5 August 2019, separated Leh-Ladakh from Jammu and Kashmir and divided it into two union territories.
Conspiracies are being hatched to destroy our cultural identity, participation of non-local people in local business, employment and educational institutions is increasing day by day.
