Nitin Nabin Jammu visit set for July 6–7 as BJP reviews organisation in Jammu and Kashmir

BJP National President Nitin Nabin will visit Jammu on July 6–7, his first trip to the Union Territory since taking charge. Jammu and Kashmir BJP president Sat Sharma said Nabin will address workers, join public conventions, and lead organisational reviews. The party also suspended Lateef Khan and Burhan for two years over indiscipline.

BJP National President Nitin Nabin is scheduled to visit Jammu on July 6 and 7. A senior party leader said the trip is Nabin’s first to the Union Territory. Nabin assumed charge of the party earlier this year. The visit is expected to include worker outreach and reviews of party activity in the area.

Sat Sharma, president of the Jammu and Kashmir BJP, announced the visit during a meeting of party office bearers, a party spokesman said. Union Minister Jitendra Singh attended the gathering. The spokesman said the meeting reviewed ongoing organisational work. The group also discussed a plan for upcoming programmes across the Union Territory.

BJP Jammu visit: Two-day schedule and planned meetings

Sharma said Nabin will address party workers and take part in public conventions during the two-day Jammu visit. Sharma said Nabin will also chair several organisational meetings. The aim is to assess how the party is functioning. The meetings are also meant to strengthen the BJP’s organisational network in the Union Territory.

Before the office bearers meeting, the party held a core group meeting at the party headquarters, the spokesman said. The discussions focused on organisational activities already under way. The spokesman said leaders worked on finalising a roadmap for future programmes. The sequence of meetings was held as part of internal coordination ahead of Nabin’s visit.

BJP Jammu visit: Disciplinary action and suspensions

Separately, the BJP suspended two senior party leaders, Lateef Khan and Burhan. The party removed both from primary membership for two years. The spokesman said the action followed recommendations of the Party’s Disciplinary Committee. The spokesman added that the decision cited indiscipline. The scrutiny was held under Sunil Sethi.

A party leader said the two leaders were accused of bringing disrepute to the party. The party leader said the accusation involved an alleged physical altercation. The incident allegedly took place inside the party office in Anantnag. The party leader said the committee examined available evidence. The review also considered records and relevant case facts.

The party leader said the committee found both individuals involved in serious indiscipline. The party leader said these acts violated the party’s constitution and discipline. The party leader said the findings also went against organisational values. The suspension decision was linked to these conclusions, as described by the spokesman and the party leader.
