Sat Sharma, while paying tributes said that Dr. Mookherjee laid down his life while strongly opposing the permit system that restricted free entry and exit to Jammu and Kashmir, an anomaly not found in any other Indian state. He emphasized that it was because of Dr. Mookherjee’s supreme sacrifice that J&K today stands fully integrated with the rest of India. "He never compromised on principles and questioned the provision of separate symbols and laws for Jammu and Kashmir. His sacrifice is a cornerstone in India’s journey toward true unity," Sat Sharma said.

Ashok Koul described Dr. Mookherjee as the ideological architect whose vision continues to guide the BJP. “The foundations of our party are rooted in the ideas of Dr. Mookherjee and Pt. Deendayal Upadhyay. Leaders like him lived not for personal gain but for a greater cause, for the welfare of all and the vision of a strong, unified nation,” he said.

Yudhvir Sethi highlighted that Dr. Mookherjee’s life is an embodiment of unwavering courage and selfless nationalism. “Such individuals are rare, and his legacy will continue to inspire not just the BJP cadre but generations of Indians.”

Priya Sethi recalled Dr. Mookherjee’s martyrdom for the full constitutional integration of Jammu and Kashmir. “He firmly opposed having two constitutions, two flags, and two sets of laws in one nation. His protest and ultimate sacrifice are etched in the foundation of a unified Bharat,” she added.

Adv. Rajesh Gupta said that Dr. Mookherjee foresaw the dangers of separatism and his martyrdom motivates every activist of BJP to uphold the unity, integrity, and sovereignty of India.

Naresh Singh Jasrotia stressed that today, J&K owes its full constitutional and political integration with India to the fearless stand and ultimate sacrifice of Dr. Mookherjee.
