Srinagar, Oct 24 (KINS): On the birth anniversary of the Pandit Premnath Dogra, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) paid rich tributes across Jammu and Kashmir.
In Srinagar, BJP National General Secretary and J&K and Ladakh Incharge Tarun Chugh, along with senior leaders including Ashok Koul, General Secretary (Organization), garlanded the portrait of Pt. Premnath Dogra, fondly remembered as Sher-e-Duggar, at the party office.
Speaking on the occasion, Tarun Chugh said that Pandit Premnath Dogra symbolized national unity and selfless service. “His struggle for Ek Vidhan, Ek Nishan, Ek Pradhan (One Constitution, One Flag, One Head) continues to guide the BJP even today,” he said. Chugh added that the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A by the Narendra Modi government fulfilled Pandit Ji’s long-cherished dream of complete integration of Jammu and Kashmir with India.
Chugh described Pt. Dogra as a people’s leader whose ideals of unity, equality, and service continue to inspire inclusive politics in the region.
Sat Sharma, in his message, said that Pandit Premnath Dogra was a visionary who led the Praja Parishad movement with unmatched dedication. “His dream of total integration has been realized under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” he noted.
Ashok Koul added that Pandit Ji’s leadership in the Ek Vidhan, Ek Nishan, Ek Pradhan movement reflected his strong moral values and unwavering determination, which ultimately ended the separate post of Prime Minister in J&K.
In Jammu, MP Jugal Kishore Sharma, along with BJP leaders Sanjita Dogra, Baldev Singh Billawaria, and others, performed a Hawan and paid floral tributes at Dogra Chowk.
Jugal Kishore Sharma described Pandit Premnath Dogra as a towering figure who led the historic Praja Parishad movement for full integration of J&K with India. Sanjita Dogra urged party workers to follow Pandit Ji’s ideals of service and dedication, while Baldev Billawaria emphasized that Pandit Ji’s ideology continues to guide the vision of a united and strong Jammu and Kashmir.(KINS)
