NEW DELHI, DECEMBER 25:  Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday said his government is walking on the path shown by late Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and working to make development, peace, progress, and social harmony the most integral part of the Jammu and Kashmir narrative.

 “The government is continuously working to make development, peace, progress, and social harmony the most integral part of the narrative of Jammu and Kashmir,”  he said while addressing a special event to commemorate the birth anniversary of Vajpayee at Dr. Ambedkar International Center here.

Sinha said the former Prime Minister was a true statesman, poet, writer, and the greatest orator country has heard after Independence. Throwing light on Vajpayee’s political life, the Lt Governor said that Atal Ji has deeply enriched the Indian political space.

“The big shift in economic reform was the brainchild of Vajpayee. Despite large and difficult coalition partners, he fast-tracked several futuristic policies including Golden Quadrilateral, PMGSY, disinvestment, Telecom revolution & Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan,” he said.

He said through his sharp political understanding and cross-party appeal, Vajpayee significantly shaped the political discourse of his era. “He even encouraged regional aspirations by accommodating smaller parties for the larger national cause,” Sinha said

 He said the nation must remember the contribution of all the great personalities who worked tirelessly for strengthening the Indian democracy, nationalism, and upliftment of the marginalized sections.

“Over the decades, many governments under pressure refrained from conducting the Pokhran test. It was because of the vision and courage of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the world saw that India will not allow its national interests to be undermined, whether it is to develop nuclear weapons capability or missile system. By linking internal security with the economy, he sent out a stern message that if the nation is strong, it will not bow down to anyone,” he said.

Sinha said India is today keeping its head high in the global arena and proving its mettle in defence due to the toughest decisions taken by Vajpayee which clearly shaped the future of the country

Lt Governor said it was the firm belief of Vajpayee that a progressive society could not be established in the country until the people of the country are empowered. He embodied his ideas in the spirit of collective responsibility, to provide economic, social, educational, and political rights to the marginalized people and worked tirelessly for public welfare and securing social, economic, and political justice for underprivileged and backward classes, he said.

“Following the ideals of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee and Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, Vajpayee established a system of the fear-free, corruption-free, hunger-free public centric good governance system in the country,” he said.
