Silence of state, central govt over accession day intriguing: Harsh 10/25/2016 11:33:02 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Oct 25: As a part of its itinerary, the JKNPP took out a massive 'Vijay Divas' rally in Samba today which was led by Harsh Dev Singh Chairman JKNPP, Balwant Singh Mankotia State President JKNPP and Yash Paul Kundal State President Young Panthers. The rally comprising hundreds of vehicles including two wheelers started from Chichi Mata Temple and after passing through link road and main Bazaar culminated at Maharaja Hari Singh Chowk Samba where the gathering was addressed by several party leaders. Calling upon the people to celebrate the Accession day with Jubilation, exultation and fulfilment, Harsh Dev Singh reprimanded the BJP for its failure to take a stand for celebration of the day as an official function despite its jingoistic harangues in the past. He said that while the panthers party had embarked upon an 'Accession week' and organized Vijay divas' rallies in various district headquarters which was to culminate in Jammu on Oct. 27, the Saffron Party had displayed an utter lack of commitment with feeble noises made by some of its leaders to organize some functions on Oct. 26, which too in reality did not qualify as the day of Accession. He said that offer of acceding to Indian union having been made on Oct. 26 by Maharaja Hari Singh with its acceptance having been given on 27th Oct, 1947 by the Governor General of India; it was 27th Oct. which legally made J&K integral part of India. While addressing a huge gathering at Maharaja Hari Singh Chowk, Singh lambasted the BJP for abandoning its previous stand and distancing itself from the demand for declaration of holiday on the Accession Day. Prominent among those who spoke on the occasion included Rajesh Padgotra, Shiv Charan Singh, Arun Khajuria, Rajeshwar Singh, Mohinder Singh, Udheyveer, Luxmikant Khajuria, Vishav Singh, Mohan Lal, Puran Chand, Chajju Singh besides others.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
