| Sangharsh Samiti Installs Baba Jitto’s Name Board at Indoor Stadium | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 15: Shaheed Kissan Baba Jitto Sangharsh Samiti today installed a name board bearing Baba Jitto’s name at the Indoor Stadium located at Baba Jitto Devsthan, Jhiri.
It is noteworthy that the Indoor Stadium was constructed under the initiative of Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Shri Manoj Sinha Ji, who had dedicated the stadium in the name of Baba Jitto. However, despite nearly one year having passed, the local administration had failed to install a board displaying Baba Jitto’s name at the stadium.
The Samiti had repeatedly raised this issue with the local administration and had also brought it to the attention of the local MLA. Despite repeated requests, no concrete action was taken. This continued negligence had created considerable resentment among the local people. Eventually, taking responsibility for safeguarding the honour and historical legacy of Baba Jitto, the Samiti itself installed the name board at the stadium.
On this occasion, Partap Singh Jamwal, President of Shaheed Kissan Baba Jitto Sangharsh Samiti, said that securing due respect, recognition and honour for Baba Jitto and his glorious history is the Samiti’s firm commitment.
He stated that the Samiti’s primary demands include renaming SKUAST Jammu after Baba Jitto and incorporating his life, sacrifice and historical contributions into the school curriculum. He emphasised that the struggle for these demands would continue uninterrupted.
He categorically stated that any attempt by any individual or institution to suppress, ignore or undermine Baba Jitto’s honour, history and legacy would not be tolerated.
Partap Singh Jamwal further stated that the BJP’s election manifesto for Jammu had also mentioned giving due honour and recognition to Baba Jitto and his legacy. The Samiti had expected the 29 BJP MLAs of Jammu to come forward and fulfil this commitment. However, even after nearly one year, the expected action has not been taken.
Questioning the BJP MLAs, he said, “Baba Jitto is remembered during elections to seek votes, but why is his legacy forgotten once the elections are over?” He urged the elected representatives to take their manifesto commitments seriously and actively support the movement for Baba Jitto’s honour and recognition.
The Samiti President also appealed to Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha Ji to personally intervene in the matter and direct the concerned administration to make the Indoor Stadium functional at the earliest. He also urged the administration to take necessary steps towards renaming SKUAST Jammu after Baba Jitto and incorporating his life, sacrifice and glorious history into the school curriculum.
Concluding his statement, he said that the struggle for Baba Jitto’s honour is not for any political gain, but for preserving Jammu’s historical heritage, upholding the dignity of farmers and familiarising future generations with their glorious history. The Samiti will continue its struggle with full determination and commitment.
On this occasion, Shri Surinder Singh Gilli (Founder of Youth Rajput Sabha and Chairman of Umeed Foundation) openly came forward in support of the struggle for Baba Jitto’s honour and recognition. Expressing strong resentment over the continued negligence of the administration, he stated that it appeared that the administration was deliberately ignoring Baba Jitto’s honour and glorious historical legacy. |
