• BJP J&K holds workshop on ‘Tiranga Yatra’ campaign at party headquarters

JAMMU: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Jammu & Kashmir unit, organized a one-day workshop at the party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, to mobilize and strategize for the upcoming ‘Tiranga Yatra’ campaign under the broader initiative of ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’.

The workshop was addressed by J&K BJP President Sat Sharma, General Secretary (Org.) Ashok Koul, National Secretary and MLA Dr. Narinder Singh, along with General Secretaries Sanjeeta Dogra, Baldev Singh Billawaria, and Gopal Mahajan. BJP State Office Bearers, Morcha Presidents, District Convenors and Co-convenors of the campaign, and other senior leaders participated in the workshop.

Sat Sharma, in his keynote address, emphasized the importance of full commitment from every BJP leader and worker to ensure the success of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign. Stressing upon the instructions of BJP National President JP Nadda, he urged the cadre to carry the symbol of national pride ‘Tiranga’ to every rooftop in their respective areas. He called for detailed planning and effective training of workers through workshops at various levels.

He invoked the call of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for active public participation, stating that the 15th of August should reflect a nation bathed in the colours of the Tiranga. Cautioning against those who once raised arms against patriotic citizens waving the Tiranga, he said that the campaign should also serve as a strong message of unity and strength to those safeguarding the nation.

Ashok Koul, while addressing the workshop, shared a comprehensive outline of the forthcoming events under the campaign. He stressed the need for grassroots planning from the booth level to mandal and district levels to ensure that the Tiranga adorns every household. He also announced the organization of grand Tiranga Rallies and Padyatras as part of the celebrations. Importantly, he called upon all to remember the tragic aftermath of India’s Partition and observe 14th August as ‘Vibhajan Vibhishika Diwas’ to honour the victims of the holocaust.

Dr. Narinder Singh urged for massive public participation, especially from the youth, underlining that these programmes are meant to instill a deeper sense of patriotism. He stressed the importance of connecting with security personnel and their families, recognizing and honoring their sacrifices for the nation. Highlighting the historic success of Operation Sindoor, Singh stated that this Independence Day carries special emotional and patriotic significance across the nation.

Gopal Mahajan conducted the proceedings and gave a detailed introduction to the workshop's objectives. Baldev Singh Billawaria extended the vote of thanks and encouraged all leaders and workers to ensure the grand success of the Abhiyan.
