SP Mookerjee’s birth anniversary observed
The Yuva Morcha of the Ganjam district BJP observed the 113th birth anniversary of the BJP’s founder late Syama Prasad Mookerjee here with pomp and gaiety.
A seminar on “Jammu & Kashmir is an integral part of India: Why Article 370IJ” was held over which Morcha district president Prabhat Kiran Sadangi presided. BJP district president Bijaya Kumar Swain declared the seminar open. While State VHP vice-president Prof Ramesh Chandra Tripathy participated as the chief speaker, Nagar VHP president Satyanarayan Panigrahi joined as another speaker.
Former Yuva Morcha president Bibhuti Jena, State executive members Saroj Sabat, KC Pati and K Padhi, State Yuva Morcha secretary N Rajendra Kumar, coordinator Sushant Jena and Zilla Parishad member N Damburu Reddy were also on the dais.
Prof Tripathy spoke on the contemporary relevance of Article 370 of the Constitution. If the country needs a balanced and equitable growth of all its regions without any discrimination, Article 370 needs to be struck down from the Constitution, he said, recaling that Dr Mookerjee had struggled hard against the Article 370. Among others, BJP district general secretary Sunil Sahu and senior party leader Gopinath Panda attended the seminar. On this occasion, former Assistant Executive Engineer Uma Charan Muni and veteran social worker Kamini Panigrahi joined the BJP.
