JAMMU, Jan 1: Team Jammu today released the "Calendar -2021" and declared September 23, the birth anniversary of Maharaja Hari Singh as the State Holiday.
A simple function of volunteers was organized at Team Jammu, headquarter office at Shakti Nagar, here today during which, Zorawar Singh Jamwal, Chairman of Team Jammu presided over the function while, newly elected youngest DDC, Member and volunteer of Team Jammu, Jasvir Singh was the chief guest.
While formally releasing annual calendar, Chairman, Team Jammu, Zorawar Singh Jamwal reiterated demand of declaring September 23rd, the birthday of last Dogra ruler, Maharaja Hari Singh as State Holiday.
"We had welcomed the UT Government's previous year decision of declaring Accession Day (October 26) as the State Holiday, but regretted that there was no similar gesture for September 23, the birthday of Maharaja Hari Singh, who was instrumental in accession of J&K with the Indian Union.
"It is highly unfortunate that the UT Government has failed to recognize the contribution of visionary and revolutionary Maharaja Hari Singh in accession of J&K State with the Indian Union. Maharaja Hari Singh will remain a role model for the generations to come. He was a visionary far ahead of his times and the contribution rendered by him would be remembered for ever," Zorawar Singh said.
The Team Jammu chief made a fervent appeal to the people of Jammu and Kashmir to observe holiday on the birth anniversary of late Maharaja whose contributions were phenomenal as he immensely contributed in every sphere of life which is remembered today as well.
Reiterating the resolve to carry forward messages and teaching of Maharaja Hari Singh, DDC, Member from Pancheri-Mongri, Yasvir Singh regretted that the last Dogra ruler was a victim of the "malicious and vicious" campaign launched by Kashmir Valley based ruling elites to undermine revolutionary steps taken by the late Maharaja.
"The visionary Maharaja abolished unsociability and sacked the priest of Shri Raghunath Temple when he found that the later had refused entry to the lower castes despite his explicit orders," Singh recalled. |
