This house places on record its profound appreciation for the Hon’ble Leader of Opposition, Shri Rahul Gandhi ji, for his relentless and courageous advocacy for the nationwide caste census. His sustained efforts have culminated in a historic Cabinet decision that marks a significant step towards achieving social justice and equitable development. We firmly believe that the caste census is not merely a data-gathering exercise but a vital instrument for policy-making that ensures the voices of the historically marginalised and under-represented communities are heard and empowered. The J&K Pradesh Congress Committee receives the news with pleasure amid mourning on the Pahalgam episode and reaffirms its full support for this initiative and resolves to carry forward the message of justice, equity, and inclusion across all regions of Jammu & Kashmir.
