Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 11: Chief Spokesperson BJP Mahila Morcha J&KUT Ritika Trehan today appealed well-off people to celebrate Deepawali by sharing the festive joy with the poor and the under-privileged. She had a really good time today with the with inmates of Bal Niketan and the weaker sections of society. It took them some time to open up to me, but later on we had a blast bursting crackers. Every anaar that we lit, they would shout on top of their voices in excitement. Unko dekh ke hi asli Diwali ka mazaa aa gaya," said Ritika. Recalling how she used to celebrate Diwali as a kid, she said, "Just like everyone living in India, Diwali for me too has been really huge since childhood.
Ritika along with other leaders of Morcha Spokesperson Geetanjali Mahajan, Program incharge Monika Khosla, Deepali Handa principal & director Tiny tots school & many other ladies today visited the Bal Niketan and distributed crackers, sweets and gifts among the inmates, thereby bringing a smile on innocent faces. Ritika interacted with children, enquired about facilities. She said while celebrating festivals, we must remember the poor and needy and share joy with them. "While we celebrate Diwali with much fanfare, we must also remember those living in orphanages and old-age homes who are unable to celebrate the festival for lack of resources, if we are able to bring a smile on their face, then I think our celebrations are doubled", she said.
Speaking on the occasion, Ritika asked concerned departments to ensure the inmates of Bal Niketan were provided adequate facilities. She highlighted the need for the children to explore avenues to keep them engaged in productive activities. "Diwali is all about giving, sharing, and spreading happiness. On this auspicious day, everyone tries to do their best to make their loved ones happier. Normally, the poor and destitute do not have a chance to celebrate the festival. Celebrating it with destitute and orphans will be a great humanitarian gesture," said Ritika. "Everyone can share some joy during the festive season. It also gives the underprivileged some hope and respite from their monotonous lives, said Ritika. "I am extremely happy to celebrate my Diwali with these children ," added Ritika.
