JAMMU, Oct 24: BJP State unit today conducted a marathon meeting to threadbare discuss the preparations for the grand celebration of “Vilay Diwas”, accession day of the state of J&K with the dominion of India.
The meeting was chaired by State party president and MLA Sat Sharma along with State vice-presidents, Yudhvir Sethi and Parmod Kapahi and State general secretaries, Dr Narinder Singh and Harinder Gupta.
While chairing the meeting, Sat Sharma took the review of each point in detail with the BJP leaders present in the meeting and said that this celebration of “Vilay Diwas” must be celebrated as the Deepawali in every region of the State.

He said that although the older generation is fully aware of these facts and the sacrifices made, but it is our duty to pass on this legacy and history to younger generations, so that they also become aware of our proud history and culture.
Sat said that although the India as a nation gained Independence from the British rule on 15th of August’ 1947, but in the case of the State of J&K, it was delayed due to some unavoidable circumstances, but later on 26th of October, Maharaja Hari Singh ji signed the “Instrument of Accession” and send it the Government of India thus becoming a part of the dominion of India for the full and final just like any other State of India.
