MUMBAI: Sunil Sharma, Jammu & Kashmir BJP General Secretary and Leader of Opposition in the J&K Legislative Assembly, participated as the Chief Guest in a tribute programme organized by the Deep Kamal Foundation at Bandra, Mumbai, on the occasion of Balidan Diwas of Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookerjee.

The event was held at a historically significant location, the very site where the first session of the Bharatiya Janata Party was convened. Speaking on the occasion, Sunil Sharma said, “It was a matter of great pride and honour for me to pay tribute to the great patriot, thinker, and martyr Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee at this sacred venue. Dr. Mukherjee’s life is a timeless inspiration of patriotism, principles, and ultimate sacrifice. His dedication continues to guide every true patriot of this country to remain firm in their duty towards the nation.”

Sunil Sharma expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Deep Kamal Foundation for extending the invitation and providing an opportunity to remember and honour Dr. Mukherjee’s unmatched contributions to national unity and integrity. He further added that the ideals of Dr. Mukherjee serve as a guiding force for the youth and leadership of the country, especially in Jammu & Kashmir.

On this significant day, Sunil Sharma also had the privilege of honouring Veer Mata Smt. Jyoti Bhai Nayak ji, the proud mother of Shaheed Murali Nayak, who sacrificed his life for the nation during Operation Sindhur. “Touching her feet was a moment of profound emotion and pride. The nation bows in gratitude to such families whose sacrifices remain etched in our collective memory,” Sharma said.

Also present at the occasion was Maharashtra’s Minister for Information Technology, Ashish Shelar, who lauded the legacy of Dr. Mukherjee. “Dr. Mukherjee laid the foundation of national integrity and ideological clarity. His struggle against Article 370 is a chapter of courageous resistance that continues to inspire generations,” Shelar stated.

The programme concluded with a deep sense of reverence, reaffirming the commitment of BJP leaders to uphold the legacy of Dr. Mukherjee and honour the sacrifices made for the unity and sovereignty of the nation.
