Due to the natural calamity in Uttarakhand, the Chandigarh unit of BJP on Saturday decided to cancel all its political activities for the next 10 days in Chandigarh. Due to this, the Jail Bharo Andolan scheduled for Sunday and State Executive meeting on June 30 were cancelled.
The decision was taken in an emergency meeting of senior BJP leaders. All party workers have been requested to assemble on Sunday in State BJP Office in Sector 33 to pay tributes to the departed souls in Uttarakhand and to pay respects to Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, founder of the Jan Sangh, on his 61st Martyrdom Day.
Sanjay Tandon, President of the city BJP, has also requested the people to send their contribution for the relief and assistance of people suffering in Uttarakhand in the name of Bharatiya Janata Party Calamity Relief Fund.
