J&K BJP disowns defamatory slogans at Anantnag rally, reaffirms PM Modi’s commitment to women’s dignity

STC NEWS DESK
SRINAGAR, AUGUST 06 (STC): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in a statement issued to media has distanced itself from the defamatory slogans raised by some individuals members of the party during a rally at Anantnag Housing Colony. The party has asserted that such remarks neither represent the party’s ideology nor the official stand of its leadership.
In the statement “issued on the directions” of BJP Genral Secretary (Org) Ashok Koul, BJP J&K, spokesperson Altaf Thakur said, “Our party has always upheld the dignity and honour of women. The BJP has been at the forefront of empowering women, and the historic decision to provide 33 per cent reservation for women reflects that commitment.”
He said the objectionable slogans allegedly raised by some elements during the rally should not be attributed to the BJP as an organisation.
“Some individuals may have raised slogans based on their personal thinking or emotions, but those slogans do not represent the BJP’s official stand or the views of the leaders who led the rally. The party does not endorse any defamatory or derogatory remarks against anyone,” he said.
Thakur reiterated that the BJP believes in maintaining political decorum and issue-based politics, adding that the party’s policies and public conduct are guided by the principles of respect, democracy and constitutional values.
He said the BJP remains committed to strengthening the participation of women in public life and will continue to support initiatives aimed at ensuring their social, political and economic empowerment.
