Death penalty to abettors of drug menace: Rana
8/7/2024 10:11:35 PM
Early Times Report
GHAROTA, Aug 7: Senior BJP leader Mr Devender Singh Rana today pleaded death penalty for drug peddlers, saying they cannot get away with their heinous crimes against the young generation.
"The abettors of drug menace should be dealt sternly", Mr Devender Rana said at a function after flagging off a grand awareness rally, for promoting the divine language Sanskrit and drug de-addiction, from Government Higher Secondary School Gharota to Jandyal Chowk in Nagrota assembly constituency as part of Sanskrit Month.
Organised by Shri Kailakh Jyotish avim Vedic Sansthan Trust, under the stewardship of Mahant Rohit Shastri, the rally was aimed at educating society about the importance of Sanskrit and dangers of drug addiction.
The event began with tree planting and distribution of saplings and concluded with a seminar after 3 km road rally.
Highlighting the significance of generating awareness against drug addiction, Mr Rana expressed concern over the younger generation largely getting affected by this malady, saying the rally in this regard organized by the Trust headed by Mahant Rohit Shastri is of crucial importance. Such efforts are certainly going to generate awareness about the evils of drug addiction, he added.
Rana, who was the chief guest on the occasion, said that only through drug de-addiction, families can achieve happiness, prosperity, and well-being. The ongoing awareness campaign is therefore a way forward to freeing individuals from addiction. Social awareness is essential to controlling drug addiction, leading to happy families and a better society, he added.
Rana called for collective efforts to promote Sanskrit, the mother of all languages, saying that learning this language holds the key to understanding the Indian worldview.
"Sanskrit, fundamental part of our traditions, helps us understand the soul of India", he added.
Rana referred to Prime Minister Yashasvi Narendra Modi's 'Mann Ki Baat' programme, emphasizing the importance of Sanskrit, noting that many world languages have developed from Sanskrit.
He also called for optimum use of technology in promoting the Sanskrit language.
Responding to local issues, Rana sought a Degree College in the 22 Panchayats of Mathwar and Amb Gharota area, saying this is the long pending demand of the people of the area and will cater to the remote population of Gorda, Rabta, Bhagani, Keri and adjoining areas.
In his discourse, Mahant Rohit Shastri said that Sanskrit carries forward the concept of Akhand Bharat and ensures unity in diversity, highlighting India's unique civilization and culture. He said the Trust is committed to the preservation and promotion of Sanskrit.
"The glorious heritage of ancient Indian knowledge and traditions is embedded in the Sanskrit language and literature", Shastriji mentioned and said that grand programs are being held to promote the divine language Sanskrit during the Sanskrit Month, concluding on August 19, Shravan Purnima.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Dil Bahadur Singh said that drugs are harmful in every form and lead individuals toward crime, as drug addicts often promote criminal activities.
"Therefore, we should stay away from drugs", he said and lauded the efforts of the Trust in this regard. He also appreciated the endeavours to promote Sanskrit by the Trust and said this language is uniting the world. Its literature is ancient, vast, and diverse, he observed.
The main highlight of the programme was the preparation of several slogans by young children to promote drug de-addiction campaign and Sanskrit, which they carried on placards while touring Gharota to raise awareness.
Students of the Government Higher Secondary School, Gharota, prominent citizens of the area including Ex- BDC Chairmen, Ex-Sarpanches, Panches and social & political activists were present in the event.
