Jammu, January 19

Darakhshan Andrabi, chairperson of the Waqf Development Committee and senior BJP leader today organised a relief distribution camp at Jammu where she distributed woollen blankets among the widows of Jammu district.

This was her first such social service camp organised this year. In 2019, Andrabi held 25 such camps throughout J&K with special emphasis on women and children.

Speaking on the occasion, Darakhshan said since the beginning of her political carrier, she has been organising such camps regularly throughout as she believes that social service was the basis of the politics of virtue.

Andrabi said she was not happy with the implementation of the social welfare schemes in Jammu & Kashmir.

“Earlier such schemes were only misused by the ruling parties for benefiting their workers and the deserving poor population was deprived of the benefits of these revolutionary schemes. Even now, the implementation of these schemes is not satisfactory. The benefits of numerous schemes does not even reach to the real deserving persons in J&K and it is the responsibility of the Lt-Governor to take serious note of this fact and try to re-devise the implementation of these welfare schemes in J&K,” said Andrabi.

She said that politics was not only to address the vote bank but the real responsibility of the political representatives was to reach out to the day-to-day difficulties and problems of the masses.
