BJP State Vice President Yudhvir Sethi, while addressing media persons along with State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, said that the recent “Tiranga Yatra” initiated on the directions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP National President Amit Shah, has not only received overwhelming response but also succeeded in bringing enthusiasm and inducing the feelings of patriotism among the people. He said that it happened for the first time that BJP celebrated the 70th Independence Day by organising different events and programmes spread over a fortnight with a motive of reaching the people in every nook and corner to remember the martyrs of Independence struggle and make public aware about the honour of the nation tricolour.
Yudhvir Sethi, who was Overall Incharge of the recently concluded “Tiranga Yatra” for Jammu-Poonch Parliamentary Constituency, said that it was led by Lok Sabha MP Jugal Kishore Sharma, who continuously devoted ten days and covered every area of his constituency on two wheelers which passed through Samba, Jammu, Jammu West, R.S.Pura, Akhnoor, Nowshera, Rajouri and Poonch Districts. This yatra was given rousing reception not only in urban areas but the people, youth in particular, were seen feeling pride to join and get associated with the yatra even in rural areas.
He expressed gratitude to the people as well as MP Jugal Kishore Sharma, District, Mandal and Booth level teams of BJP and its morchas for contributing in making it successful.
Making a fervent appeal to the youth of Kashmir, who has been misled by a handful of separatists and are being used for stone pelting, said that they should first understand that the own children of the so-called leaders of valley are pursuing their studies away from valley for a better career and none of them is on roads in Kashmir. He said that it a boy from a poor family who gets injured or killed in such incidents and it hardly matters for separatists and Pakistan. He asked the youth to not fall prey into the trap of these leaders and rather come under the national tricolour and hold it to make it clear that Kashmiri youth is as nationalist as that from Jammu, Ladakh or any other state of the country and will not allow to disturb the social fabric and give a befitting replay to all such forces which are posing threat to the unity and integrity of the country. he said that the peace and development in J&K is not possible without the participation of Kashmiri youth and hence, they should be part of Modi’s Mission for the state.
