JAMMU: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Jammu Kashmir held a significant workshop in Rajouri aimed at making the Tiranga Yatra more impactful by fostering patriotism among party workers and local residents. The event was organised under the presidentship of its BJP District Rajouri, President Dev Raj Sharma and featured prominent attendees including members of various social organisations.

Baldev Singh Billawaria, BJP Jammu Kashmir general secretary, addressed the gathering, emphasising the importance of the Tiranga Yatra in strengthening national unity. He detailed the party’s initiative to distribute national flags door-to-door under the “Har Ghar Tiranga” campaign. Billawaria urged citizens to rise above political differences, honour the national flag, and proudly display it at their homes and establishments. “The Tiranga Yatra not only honours our national flag but also reinforces the spirit of unity, integrity, and patriotism.

Our goal is to awaken pride in every citizen for their country and collectively drive Jammu Kashmir towards development and prosperity,” said Billawaria. Highlighting the significance of patriotism among the youth, Billawaria stated that motivating the younger generation to contribute to building a strong India is a BJP priority. He also acknowledged the continuous efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in promoting patriotism and social harmony through various government schemes.

Additionally, Billawaria announced the party’s decision to observe August 14 as the “Partition Tragedy Remembrance Day” (Vibhajan Vibhishika Smriti Diwas) to reflect on the painful consequences of India’s partition. He called for a silent procession and seminars at the mandal level on this day to honor the sacrifices of ancestors who upheld unity and brotherhood despite great challenges.

“Through the silent procession, we will remember the victims, and the seminars will help pass their stories to future generations,” he added. The workshop concluded with renewed enthusiasm among participants to uphold the spirit of nationalism and contribute to the Tiranga Yatra’s smooth execution.
