Sharma said that in Delhi and Chandigarh also, long established as Union Territories, the official work is performed in Hindi. “Hindi is a beautiful language combining in it all elements of national integration which is the need of the hour,” he added. Sharma further said that the people of State were always with the UT Lt Governor’s every bold decision for speeding up development activities, strengthening democracy at grass root level and ensuring accountability and good governance. Demanding fresh census and delimitation of UT assembly segments Sharma expressed deep concern over the nefarious agenda of some bureaucrats in J&K to enslave Jammu region by manipulating population figures of Kashmir in last census.
