Maharashtra Navnirwan Sena supremo Raj Thackeray on Friday lauded spiritual leader Bhaiyyuji Maharaj for exceptional social works being done by him for the poor, economically backward people in the country.
Addressing a mammoth gathering at `Suryoday Manavta Sewa Samman Samaroh’ organized by Shree Sadguru Datta Dharmik Evam Parmarthik Trust under its two-day Guru Purnima Mahotsav, Thackeray said today every district and taluka in the country needs a social worker like Bhaiyyuji Maharaj as for every work we cannot afford to remain dependent upon Government.
`The way Bhaiyyuji Maharaj is helping the poor, the downtrodden, the underprivileged and the deprived people of the society in the countryside of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh is truely exceptional and every person of the society needs to learn a lesson from him and engage himself in social services, Thackeray said adding that it was primarily because of Bhaiyyuji Maharaj’s social works for the poor which prompted him to come to Indore. Thackeray who was on his maiden visit to Indore, said in Indore, he felt like being at home as if he was in some Maharashtrian city.
Earlier, Raj Thackeray presented the coveted `Suryoday Manavta Sewa Samman’ award to a young social worker Sarang Gosawi for the exceptional works done by him for the rehabilitation, welfare and development of strife-torn Kashmiri youths in the past 10 years. Under the award, Gosawi was presented with `shawl, shreefal, citation’ and a cash of ` one lakh eleven thousand one hundred and eleven. Gosawi is the seventh recipient of this prestigious award.
