JAMMU, Feb 20: The J&K Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will pay tributes to the martyrs of the country in a programme christened as ‘Ek Deep-Shaheedon Ke Naam’ on Feb 26.
This was decided in a meeting chaired by State BJP president, Ravinder Raina here today at party office.
“BJP salutes Indian forces, which have a long history of sacrifices made for securing the country both within and at borders,” Raina said while speaking in the meeting. He further said that valiant soldiers have always faced the death but never have shown back.
Raina also flayed the proxy war unleashed by Pakistan on India.
“The mischief of Pakistan has touched new low, when the terrorism nurtured by it as its state policy has challenged us by taking the precious lives of our brave warriors in most inhumane way,” he maintained.
“In order to pay our respect to the martyred soldiers of Pulwama attack on the 13th day of tragedy, the BJP has decided to light earthen lamps at the homes of party workers and all sympathizers from 6:00 pm to 9:30 pm to observe ‘Ek Deep-Shaheedon Ke Naam’,” Ravinder Raina said.
State General Secretary (Org.), Ashok Kaul; State General Secretary, Dr. Narinder Singh; State All Morcha Incharge, Manish Sharma; State IT & Social Media Incharge, Jaidev Rajwal and Ajay Vaid were also present in the meeting.
