RS PURA: Shiv Sena Hindustan, under the leadership of Jammu and Kashmir President Pandit Rajesh Kesri, participated in the Kalash Yatra to mark the beginning of the Rakhi week in Jangwal village. The event witnessed a grand welcome for Pandit Rajesh Kesri and his team, with locals adorning them with garlands and showering flowers.

Kesri paid his respects to the saints and priests present at the event and extended heartfelt Maha Shivratri greetings to all attendees. Addressing the gathering, he highlighted the importance of participating in religious and cultural events, emphasizing that such activities play a crucial role in steering the younger generation away from the perils of drug addiction and towards a more spiritually inclined life.

Kesri urged the youth present in the audience to take a firm stand against drug abuse, calling it a "termite" that destroys individuals from within. He encouraged everyone to not only stay away from drugs themselves but also spread awareness in surrounding villages about the devastating effects of addiction. He pointed out that drug addiction is a tool used by Pakistan to weaken India's youth and destabilize Jammu & Kashmir.

Citing a recent example, Kesri referred to the seizure of 5.3 kilograms of heroin in Kureetana Khurd village, Nawanshahr, during a joint operation by the Jammu & Kashmir Police and BSF. He stated that such incidents clearly show Pakistan's malicious intent to push drugs into the region and destroy the future of the youth. However, he assured that Shiv Sena Hindustan, along with the people of Jammu & Kashmir, will never allow Pakistan's "narcoterrorism" to take root in the region.

Addressing the gathering, Kesri stressed the need for collective efforts to combat the drug menace. He called on the community to unite and work together to protect the youth and ensure a bright future for the region. He reiterated that Shiv Sena Hindustan is committed to safeguarding the cultural, social, and moral fabric of Jammu & Kashmir.

Prominent leaders present at the event included Vice Chairman Rajkumar, Border President Sanjeev Sharma, Arnia President Balwant Fauji, Jangwal President Goram Ram, Om Prakash, Satpal, and hundreds of Shiv Sena Hindustan members and supporters, who pledged their commitment to fighting against drug abuse and protecting the youth of Jammu & Kashmir.
