JAMMU: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Jammu & Kashmir, today observed the 627th Parkash Utsav of Shiromani Sant Kabir Ji Maharaj with great reverence and enthusiasm at the party headquarters in Trikuta Nagar, Jammu. The event was marked by devotional tributes, enlightening speeches, and a reaffirmation of commitment to the timeless values propagated by Sant Kabir Ji.

The event was presided over by J&K BJP President Sat Sharma, who was joined by prominent party leaders including General Secretary and MLA Dr. Devinder Manyal, MLAs Prof. Gharu Ram Bhagat, Rajeev Bhagat, and Surinder Bhagat. BJP Vice-President Faqir Chand Bhagat and SC Morcha Prabhari Jagdish Bhagat also addressed the gathering.

In his address, Sat Sharma highlighted the enduring relevance of Sant Kabir Ji’s teachings in today’s era of materialism and social divisions. He emphasized that Kabir Ji’s message of universal brotherhood, truth, and equality is more crucial than ever and must guide societal and political conduct alike. "Sant Kabir Ji transcended caste, religion, and dogma to spread the message of love, humility, and devotion to God," he said.

Dr. Devinder Manyal stressed upon Kabir Ji’s role as a reformer who challenged social evils like casteism and hypocrisy. He called upon the youth to draw inspiration from Kabir Ji’s fearless voice and adopt a life of simplicity, integrity, and compassion. He noted that BJP has always stood by the values of social harmony and upliftment of the marginalized, which echo Kabir Ji’s mission.
