- On Wednesday, 16th October 2024, Omar Abdullah took the oath as the first Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir UT after his party National Conference managed to secure 42 seats in the recently concluded elections.
- Since 2018, Jammu and Kashmir has been governed by President rule. The rule was enacted after BJP drew out its support from its coalition government with People’s Democratic Alliance.
- President rule was recently revoked after the declaration of results of concluded elections, giving way to formation of a new government.
- Omar Abdullah and his fellow cabinet ministers’ oath to office were administered by LG Manoj Sinha at Sher-i-Kashmir International Convention Centre (SKICC).
- Javed Ahmed Rana (Mendhar), Javid Ahmad Dar (Rafiabad), Sakina Itoo (DH Pora), and Surinder Kumar Chowdhary were administered the oath by LG Manoj Sinha.
- This is the first time a Chief Minister has been elected since the abolition of Article 370 in the region.
- PM Narendra Modi on his official X handle, appreciated his appointment and assured to work in collaboration for the progress of Jammu and Kashmir.
- Other political leaders, like Rajnath Singh, Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal, and Mamta Banerjee also wrote on the social media platform X about his appointment as the Chief Minister.
- In one of his initial orders, he focused on reducing public inconvenience by instructing the police to avoid creating green corridors for his road movements. He also urged his cabinet ministers to follow the same protocol.
- It has often been observed that strong political positions like these can give birth to undue arrogance and ego in one’s life. It is due to the absence of the right way of living and a lack of true spiritual knowledge that one develops these negative traits within oneself.
- Only by seeking refuge in a Tatvdarshi Sant, one can guarantee a satisfied life. It is because true spiritual knowledge given by a Complete Saint (also a Tatvdarshi Sant) teaches us that the foremost goal of our human lives is to attain salvation by worshipping Supreme God Kabir rather than accumulation of false money and undesired positions of power.
- Currently, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj is the sole representative of Supreme God Kabir and is granting Naam Diksha (Initiation) as a Tatvdarshi Sant. As He imparts His true spiritual knowledge as outlined in our sacred texts, His identity cannot be doubted.
