Resolution on Maharaja Hari Singh's birthday
7/20/2019 12:43:09 AM
Early Times Report Jammu, July 19: By forcing the Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) to declare holiday on 23 September-birthday of Maharaja Hari Singh, BJP corporator from ward number 3 Narotam Sharma has set an example for senior BJP leaders who had failed to implement resolution passed in the Legislative Council on January 24, 2017. Due to lust of power, the then BJP ministers in the coalition government headed by Mehbooba Mufti had shamelessly abandoned the resolution to enjoy power. J&K Legislative Council had unanimously passed a "historical" resolution on January 24, 2017 to declare state holiday on September 23-the birthday of Maharaja Hari Singh.

On the very next day after passing of the resolution BJP was quick to take political mileage as the resolution was moved by its member Ajatshatru Singh, who happened to be the grandson of the last Dogra ruler. BJP had announced to get government's nod to Legislative C...
