"The need on part of the Spokespersons is to speak forcefully and without any dithering against misinformation campaign launched by some political parties for their partisan purposes," a BJP Spokesman said.

To review the media management of the party and discuss the current issues related to state politics in particular, the BJP convened a meeting of its State Spokespersons at BJP headquarters, which was was chaired by BJP State General Secretary (Organisation) Ashok Kaul.

The issues such as present political scenario in the state, turmoil in the valley and the role of BJP were discussed, Spokesman said adding that BJP is extending full cooperation to the state government in restoring peace and normalcy.

"It was felt that this approach was needed to prevent such political parties who instead of contributing towards the early restoration of peace and the process of development in the state, are maligning the image of the party and the coalition government," the Spokesman said.

While speaking in the meeting, Kaul stressed on proper monitoring of the day-to-day developments and asked the spokespersons to make sure that the view point of the party on vital issues is put forth in right perspective so that the people are properly informed about the functioning of BJP in the government.
