Haryana Chief Minister Manohar lal on Sunday invited the people of Rajasthan to participate in the ‘International-level Gita Jayanti Mahotsava’ to be organised at Kurukshetra from December 6 to 10.
The Chief Minister offered floral tributes to the martyrs at various memorials at Sikar in Rajasthan, under the ‘Azadi 70 – Yaad Karo Kurbaani’ – Tiranga Yatra organised to mark the completion of 70 years independence and 75th anniversary of the ‘Quit India Movement’.
Describing Kurukshetra as the divine land where lord Krishna delivered the celestial message of ‘Bhagvad Gita’ to Arjuna, the Chief Minister said that people from across the globe had been invited for the Gita Jayanti celebrations.
Expressing gratitude to the martyrs whom the country owes its freedom, the Chief Minister said that India is the largest democracy with 80 crore voters casting ballots to choose their Government.
As the martyrs made the ultimate sacrifice to attain freedom for the country, it is the duty of each person to honour them. The Tiranga Yatra has been launched in deference to the call given by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to make the youth aware of the sacrifices made by the martyrs, he said.
Earlier, the Chief Minister also flagged off the Tiranga Yatra from Katrathal in Sikar.
