    SRINAGAR: Stating that he doesn’t have to contest any election in J&K nor does he indulge in politics, J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha Sunday said a law will soon be enacted to provide land and homes to a poor lot of the UT.

    “I am surprised to see that in J&K there has been no law for providing laws and homes to the poor. J&K administration is working on it and very soon there will be a law enacted in this regard,” the LG said while speaking on the 450th Prakash Utsav of Goswami Shri Guru Nabha Dass Ji Maharaj in Jammu. He said that the poor lot will have better land and housing facilities soon.

    He said that the poor will get land and homes too. “Everything will be done for them by the J&K administration,” the LG said. He said the way the administration led by him provided housing facilities to migrant Kashmiri Pandits, similar facilities will be provided to government employees who are non-J&K residents.

    “We will ensure that safe and secure accommodation is provided to the employees who belong to other parts of the country and are presently posted in J&K. We know working in Kashmir is a bit challenging,” the LG said.

    He said that the administration is committed to converting the dreams of Prime Minister Narendra Modi about J&K into action on the ground.

    Mahatma Gandhi Had No Degree: LG Sinha

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir’s Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha on Thursday while speaking about Mahatma Gandhi stated that the iconic leader did not possess any degree in law or any other field.

    During an event at ITM University in Gwalior to commemorate Martyr’s Day on March 23, Sinha asserted that Mahatma Gandhi, who worked as a barrister during the apartheid era in South Africa, did not possess a law degree, but only a high school diploma. However, Sinha acknowledged that Gandhi had met the requirements to practice law, despite not having a law degree from any university.

    The LG of Jammu and Kashmir stated that despite Mahatma Gandhi’s triumph over great obstacles throughout his life, there is a “misunderstanding” among some educated individuals that he held a law degree, which is incorrect. He also mentioned that although some individuals may disagree with his statements, he was simply presenting factual information.
