Three prominent leaders, including a Congress activist, of border districts of Poonch and Rajouri in Jammu and Kashmir joined the BJP Thursday.

Congress leader Shayar Nazir Hussain, senior NC leader Er Rafiq Ahmad Chishti and social worker Haji Mohd Ashraf joined the BJP in the presence of party state president Ravinder Raina here.

Raina, while addressing the new entrants, said their collaborative effort will take party to new heights in the region.

Praising the "devotedness" of the local BJP leaders, who facilitated the joining, he said, "A tree blossoms fully when it has its roots strongly attached within the soil and the BJP is a proud party, which has its every single worker acting as an institution in himself or herself.
