JAMMU, Jan 11: To remember the supreme sacrifice of martyrs of 1953 agitation, who gave their lives for the greater good of J&K state and the Nation, J&K BJP led by State President and MLA Jammu West, Sat Sharma held an impressive function to mark 65th Shaheedi Diwas at the Samadhiya Ground, Hiranagar in order to pay respect to the great men.
Sharma was accompanied by MoS Rashpaul Verma, State Secretary Adv. Vijay Sharma and MLA Hiranagar Kuldeep Raj.
Sat Sharma, while paying homage to the great souls, recounted their heroic deeds and said that the people are remembered for their great deeds in this mortal world as nothing in this world is permanent and more important than the principles and love for one’s motherland.
Narrating the incidents of 1953, Sat said that India has a history glorified with the acts of valour and pride and even small kids have sacrificed their beautiful lives while fighting and going down bravely for defending the very earth we stand on.
He said that the slogan of Ek Vidhan, Ek Nishan, Ek Pradhan saw the birth of BJP, which has always stood for the right cause right from its inception as Jana Sangha or Praja Parishad by the great ideologue and mass leader Martyr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and will keep fighting for establishing the Nation as the crown of the Universe.
He appealed the other political parties to also come forward and take part in all such programmes which are organized in memory of the martyrs.
“Elders must pass on proud legacy to youth for the greater and brighter future of State and Nation,” he added.
Rashpaul Verma Advocate Vijay Sharma and Kuldeep Raj also threw light on the history of great sacrifices in the Duggar land and said that the political class running successive governments in the state and the Centre have always done injustice to the history and the patriots, which will be countered by BJP at all levels and at all costs.
Senior Leader Adv Th. Ranjit Singh, Ex MLA Durga Dass, District General Secretary (Org.) Inderjeet, District President Kathua Prem Nath Dogra, District President Samba Jangbir Singh were also present during the ceremony.
