Varinderjit Singh, Shailja Gupta, Adv. Hunar Gupta and others were amongst the prominent BJP leaders present on the occasion.
Ravinder Raina, while paying tributes to the great ideologue Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhay ji, said that every year, BJP organizes “Samarpan Diwas” on death anniversary of Panditji. The “Samarpan” offered by party activists is mark of respect to the great soul and the belief that our party is being run on strong principles that were advocated by Pt. ji throughout his life. Panditji never worked to gain popularity or to be elected as an MP or MLA but worked entirely for the welfare of the Nation and lived his life in simplicity.
Raina, added that Indian history is full of examples likes Bhagat Singh, Jhansi ki Rani, Chander Shekhar Azad, Ashfaq Ulla Khan and others who laid down their lives in service of mother Earth. And in the Independent India, Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhayay was a key person in the formation of “Bharatiya Jana Sangha” to shape a greater India. At that time, Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhayay strongly took stand for Nationalism in period, that was marred with Opportunism in free India, Raina said.
Ashok Kaul, while paying tributes spoke on the life events of Panditji. He said that the vision of Panditji was very clear that the true rise of India can only be achieved through “Integral Humanism” and “Antodaya”. Strong advocate of Nationalism, Integral humanism having core of “Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah”, Antodaya (benefit to the last person standing in the row), great economic policy, Panditji was a social and political thinker who loved his motherland beyond anything, he added.
Kavinder Gupta, threw light on various aspects of Panditji’s life. We must follow his footprints and serve our motherland with humility and dedication, he said.
Yudhvir Sethi coordinated the whole programme.
