New Voices from Kashmir: National Conference Leaders Sworn In

Three National Conference leaders took oath as Rajya Sabha members, representing Jammu and Kashmir in the Upper House. Chowdry Mohammad Ramzan, Sajjad Ahmed Kichloo, and Gurwinder Singh Oberoi brought linguistic diversity to the session by taking their oaths in Kashmiri, Urdu, and Punjabi, respectively.

In a significant political development, three National Conference leaders from Jammu and Kashmir were sworn in as members of the Rajya Sabha on Monday, marking their debut in the Upper House. They were sworn in at the commencement of the Parliament's Winter Session, joining other legislators in a ceremony steeped in linguistic diversity.

Chowdry Mohammad Ramzan, Sajjad Ahmed Kichloo, and Gurwinder Singh Oberoi, all prominent figures within their party, took their oaths in Kashmiri, Urdu, and Punjabi, reflecting the rich cultural tapestry of the region they represent. Their oath-taking was witnessed by peers and the Chairman, C P Radhakrishnan.

Their swearing-in follows a noteworthy electoral victory last month, where the National Conference secured three of Jammu and Kashmir's Rajya Sabha seats, with the BJP taking the fourth seat. The event not only underscores the evolving political landscape but also highlights the National Conference's influence in the region.
