JAMMU, Oct 29: J&K BJP will hold Unity Marches across all districts on October 31 under the “Sardar@150 – Unity March” to commemorate Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s 150th birth anniversary. J&K BJP president and MP (Rajya Sabha), Sat Sharma (CA) will join the Jammu March.
This was stated by BJP general secretary and programme in charge, Baldev Singh Billawaria while talking to reporters here, today along with Dr. Pardeep Mahotra, J&K BJP Media in charge, and Anil Masoom, district convenor of the programme.
Baldev Singh Billwaria said that the “Sardar @ 150 Unity March” aims to spread his message of unity and national integration through Padyatras, youth activities, and cultural events, inspiring citizens to contribute to the vision of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat and Viksit Bharat 2047.
Billawaria said “Sardar Patel’s belief that ‘India is one, India is indivisible, and India will remain indivisible forever’ continues to inspire the nation. Prime Minister, Narendra Modi is carrying forward that same spirit through his vision of Viksit Bharat 2047,” he said.
Billawaria stated from October 31 to November 25, Padyatras will be held in every district covering 8 to 10 kilometres each, and three Padyatras will take place in every Lok Sabha constituency.
He added that debates, essay competitions in schools and colleges, seminars on the life and ideals of Sardar Patel, and youth pledges for a Nasha Mukt Bharat, Swadeshi Melas are being organized where people are taking Swadeshi pledge. Yoga and health camps, large-scale cleanliness drives, and the Ek Ped Maa ke Naam plantation campaign will also be conducted to promote environmental awareness.
Billawaria said just as Sardar Patel united the princely states into one India, these Padyatras will unite the hearts of the people.
He said that after the district-level Padyatras, select participants will travel by road to Karamsad, Gujarat, joining representatives from across the country. “From November 26, which is Constitution Day, Padyatris from all over India will march 152 kilometres from Karamsad to the Statue of Unity in Kevadia, symbolising India’s unity,” he added.
Billawaria appealed to the people of Jammu and Kashmir to participate in the massive numbers in these Padyatras (Unity Marches), inspired by the message of unity and patriotism.
