Gujjar, Bakerwal & Paharis are the pride of J&K: Vibod

RAJOURI. JULY 27:–A jubilant group of Pahari community youth on Thursday called upon the BJP J&K General Secretary and former MLC, Vibodh Gupta to express their heartfelt gratitude and celebrate the historic introduction of the Bill in the Parliament granting Scheduled Tribe (ST) status to the marginalised Pahari Tribe.
The youth also extended their gratitude to the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi; Union Home Minister, Amit Shah; Lt Governor, Manoj Sinha; & BJO JK State President Rarinder Raina for their unwavering efforts and dedication to the cause of the Pahari Tribe.
Vibodh Gupta thanked the Pahari youths and exchanged sweets with them & wished them a glorious future ahead.
Emphasising the Modi government’s policy of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Vibodh maintained that the ten percent reservation already granted to the Gujjars and Bakerwals in Government jobs and educational institutions in Jammu and Kashmir would remain untouched, while ensuring a separate reservation for the Pahari Kabila and other deserving communities.
“Gujjars, Bakarwals, and Paharis are the pride of Jammu and Kashmir, and their harmony is of utmost importance for the holistic development of Rajouri-Poonch,” said Vibodh.
He issued a strong caution against any attempts to disrupt this harmony and unity between the communities, urging everyone to work together for the collective progress and prosperity of the area.
Vibodh took this opportunity to encourage the youth of the Pahari Tribe to seize the moment and utilize the newfound opportunities that come with the ST status.
He believes that their potential and talent can bring laurels not only to the Pahari Tribe but also to the entire nation.
The introduction of the Bill for ST status marks a significant milestone in the journey of the Pahari Tribe towards inclusivity and empowerment.
Prominent youth present on the occasion were Waqar Malik, Waqar Ahmed, Mohd Yousif Khan, Mohd Ayaz ul Rehman, Mushtari Ahmed, Mohd Anis, Mohd Saqib, and Sikander Hayat.
