BJP to conduct nationwide public awareness campaign on Article 370, to rope in 2000 prominent personalities

Ever since the abrogation of Article 370 by the Narendra Modi government, some anti-social elements have been trying to disrupt the peace in the valley through a well-chalked out propaganda. While the government of India is doing everything in its capacity to bring peace, normalcy and development to the terror infested region, ignorance about the article granting separate status to Jammu and Kashmir has led the unsuspecting people to fall prey to the wicked plans of the propaganda machinery.

In the wake of this move and to spread awareness about Article 370, BJP has planned a Jan Jagaran Abhiyan-public awareness campaign and Sampark Abhiyan on Article 370 beginning September 1.

As per a report, this program will be attended by BJP President Amit Shah, working President JP Nadda, senior ministers, chief ministers among others. This program is slated to run between September 1 to September 30. The party will take this campaign through 370 places and will hold large scale meetings in 35 big cities.

According to the information available, the party has formed two committees to prepare for the campaign that will be headed by Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan and Minister of Jal Shakti Gajendra Singh Shekhawat.

As per the plan, the party will rope in 2,000 prominent personalities from different parts of the country for the Sampark Abhiyan to explain the reasons behind the abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35A, and its repercussions. Shah, Nadda and other leaders will meet the prominent personalities.

Under the Jan Jagaran Abhiyan, the party will hold public awareness campaigns across 370 places. During this, small gatherings and rallies will be organized.

Various political parties including Congress have opposed the abrogation of Article 370 by the government.
