Jammu and Kashmir gets elected government. Javid Dar represents North Kashmir as cabinet minister.
As the first government is formed in the region after the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, North Kashmir leader Javid Ahmed Dar has been sworn in as cabinet minister along with four other ministers.
The swearing-in ceremony took place at the Sher-e-Kashmir International Convention Center (SKICC) in Srinagar, which was attended by key leaders of the Indian faction.
During the swearing-in ceremony, Omar Abdullah was joined by Surinder Choudhary, who took oath as the Deputy Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir. The newly formed cabinet also includes Sakina Itu, Satish Sharma, Javed Dar and Javed Rana.
Who is Javid Dar?
Javid Ahmed Dar, a resident of Ladoora, started his political career in 2002 in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) under the leadership of late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.
After spending six years in the PDP, Javid left the party and formally joined the National Conference in the presence of Farooq Abdullah in 2008, at a time when the assembly elections were at its peak. Surprisingly, in the 2008 assembly elections, he won the mandate and defeated his former party leader, Dilawar Mir, by a significant margin, adding a new chapter to the political landscape of Rafiabad.
He later received cabinet posts as Minister of Roads and Buildings, Horticulture, and Health and Education. His performance was well appreciated and he later took up full-time responsibilities in the Roads and Buildings Department.
In 2014, amid a strong PDP wave, he lost the Rafiabad seat to Yawar Dilawar Mir, who was in the PDP at that time. Notably, Yawar Mir, son of prominent leader Dilawar Mir, contested his first election and made his mark in politics after his father was sentenced to three years in jail in a case of wrongful release of Rs 30 lakh and a contract-related corruption case. Went. Sale of urea by National Fertilizers Limited to his firm from 1993 to 1996.
However, in the recently held assembly elections in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir after a long gap of 10 years, Javid Dar made a remarkable comeback by winning from the Rafiabad constituency by a huge margin. He won by 9,202 votes, defeating his party’s candidate Yawar Mir.
Now the people of the northern region of Kashmir find themselves full of hope and high aspirations after the appointment of Javed Dar as Cabinet Minister. They dream of development of North Kashmir, want progress, prosperity and peace.
Will these promises be fulfilled? Will the newly elected cabinet ministers live up to the expectations of the people? Can he empathize with the struggles and challenges faced by the community? only time will tell.
