On the 26th of December, BJP Meghalaya marked the supreme sacrifice of Shri Zorawar Singh and Shri Fateh Singh, the young sons of Guru Govind Singh ji, with a sparkling program ‘Veer Bal Diwas’ at the state party office. Following this event, ‘Good Governance Day’ which is meant to mark the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee was also celebrated.
Veer Bal Diwas was jointly hosted by BJP Meghalaya Mahila Morcha and BJYM, the party’s youth wing. Speaking on the occasion, President of state BJP Mahila Morcha Sukhi Pariat said, “today as we observe Veer Bal Diwas, we look back at our history with pride and gratitude towards our ancestors and we gaze at the future with hope, confidence and strength. The ideals of a great India are now being realized under the leadership of our honourable Prime Minister, Narendra Modi Ji and we all must be ready to contribute towards creating a powerful, prosperous India.”
President of BJYM, Mr. Mewakar Lyngdoh said, “I urge those youths who have fallen prey to drugs to continue to fight back with courage and that we are here to support your fight to come out of it. We shouldn’t lose hope and give up easily, we should draw inspiration from these two martyrs to have the courage to fight our own individual battles and continue to spread positivity around us.”
At the end of the program, children were taken for a visit to the Gurudwara by the Mahila Morcha members.
The gathering for Good Governance Day was addressed by prominent citizens and party members including Cabinet Minister Mr. A.L. Hek, Chief Spokesperson Mr. Mariahom Kharkrang, National Council Member Mr. David Kharsati and Dr. Fenella Lyngdoh Nonglait.
Mr. A.L. Hek while speaking on the occasion reflected back on the G-20 theme and said, “One earth, one family, one future encapsulates the very essence of good governance. We must look upon every person as a family member and work towards promoting wellness at an individual and society level.”
Mr. Kharkrang talked about how good governance is not limited only to Govt. servants but every citizen must participate in it to ensure a better India, a swach Bharat or clean India. “Every BJP karyakarta must take give in-depth information about central schemes to those who need them and thereby contribute to good governance,” he added.
Mr. David Kharsati reminded the gathering about the special Christams program that the Prime Minister attended. He said, ‘this example of true secularism where every religion and culture is respected and there is progress for all communities is what Good Governance signifies.”
