REASI, May 11: The historic initiative of training the party cadre at the mandal/ Block level by conducting more than 50 training camps in the entire Jammu province took off at Arnas, the peripherial Mandal of Reasi District, which was addressed by BJP State president Shamsher Singh Manhas, National Executive Member & chief spokesperson, Dr Jitendra Singh, who is also Prabhari for Reasi District, State secretary Yudhvir Sethi and district president Kabla Singh.
Shamsher Singh Manhas, in his inaugural address, said that inner party democracy is the hallmark of BJP and every party worker has a say in the party and he can approach highest level without any hindrance and will be heard.
There is total democracy in the Party and all the office bearers from the mandal level to the national level are elected through an electoral process.
The basic purpose of organizing these training programmes is to inculcate in the rank and file of the party, the spirit of nationalism and social service and treating the political work as a means of serving the nation and making it strong and vibrant.
Dr. Jitendra Singh, while addressing the training session said that BJP is not a mere political party but a nationalist-cultural movement aimed at keeping alive the thousands year old civilization of India with all its ethos of humanism, brotherhood and uncompromising commitment to motherland”. He, while dwelling on the history, growth and ideology of BJP, cited references to disapprove the false propaganda unleashed against the party by the Congress and some other pseudo-secularists.
He said that Mahatma Gandhi is on record of having appreciated the good work done by the Sangh Parivar and reminded that Bapu had addressed the Sangh Sammelan at Wardha in 1934 and the Sangh workers at Delhi in September 1947.
Describing the BJP a truly secular political party in the country with equal concern for Hindus, Muslims, Christians and Sikhs, Dr Jitendra Singh said that the Party could not have captured power in Goa State Assembly recently without the support of minority Catholic Christians.
Dr Jitendra Singh said that Shyama Prasad Mukherjee had founded Bharatiya Jan Sangh not for any political ambitions but because he felt that a political arm was essential to achieve the goals of Indianhood envisaged by the Sangh “Sangathan”. Referring to special challenges in Jammu & Kashmir, Dr Singh said Kashmir is the “Balidaan Bhoomi” of Mukherjee and it is because of steadfast stand of the party during the recent years of terrorism that separatists and separatist friendly forces in the State could be kept under check.
Yudhvir Sethi threw light on the qualities required of an ideal worker. Kabla Singh focussed on election scenario in the area in respect of BJP.
