Jammu Tawi: J&K BJP led by its President Ravinder Raina and other senior leaders celebrated Accession Day (Vilay Diwas) with vigour, at Maharaja Hari Singh Ji Park, near Tawi River, Jammu. Union minister Rao Inderjit Singh also joined the BJP leaders on the occasion and paid tributes to Maharaja Hari Singh ji. The national flag was also hoisted on the occasion while paying glorious tributes to the great Maharaja. Speaking on the occasion, Ravinder Raina accused PDP president Mehbooba Mufti of having ”Talibani ideology” and said anyone who celebrated Pakistan’s recent win over India in a T20 World Cup match would be jailed for ”conspiring” against the country. He said ”Some leaders need security cover and are protected round-the-clock by our forces but their heart beats for Pakistan. Mehbooba is of Talibani ideology and she is answerable to the people for supporting an enemy nation which is pushing armed terrorists, conspiring against us and bleeding J&K. She has committed a grave sin”. Raina said that whole J&K is celebrating this day as it has come after many sacrifices by Nationalist workers of Bharatiya Jana Sangha and Praja Parishad. Rao Inderjit Singh paid rich tributes to the last Dogra ruler of J&K Maharaja Hari Singh. He recalled the historic movements of the signing of accession and the defeat of Pakistani raiders who tried to control the Srinagar airport and said the work started by the maharaja was completed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi by revoking the Article 370 on August 5, 2019. Jugal Kishore Sharma thanked everybody for their active participation and said that the Accession Day marks the signing of the instrument of accession by the maharaja with the governor-general of India, Lord Mountbatten, on October 26, 1947 to join the then dominion of India. Chander Mohan Gupta provided insight on the historic events during the accession of J&K with Union of India.
Yudhvir Sethi highlighted the contribution of the maharaja and said Jammu and Kashmir was and will remain the integral part of India. He managed the whole programme with the Vinay Gupta and Munish Khajuria.
