SRINAGAR, Nov 13: Paying rich tributes to former Prime Minister Pt Jawaharlal Nehru on his 128th birth anniversary today, the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president GA Mir described the departed leader as an architect of Modern India under whose leadership the nation made remarkable achievements in every field.
Recalling the selfless services and contributions of Pt Nehru in nation building, Mir while paying tributes to former Prime Minister said that every section of the country will continue to remain indebted to late Nehru for the services and sacrifices made by him for the nation.
“Right from the freedom movement to Prime Minister’s chair, Pt Nehru remained committed to safeguard the dignity and honour of the nation and never compromised on his stated position of uniting and serving the people to the best of his ability,” Mir said.
It was the dream of late Prime Minister to make the country self-reliant and progressing in every field for which late Nehru launched Prime Minister’s Five Year reconstruction plan, which proved as a turning point in the overall development of the nation.
The first Prime Minister of the country remained committed to safeguard the secular fabric of the country and never allowed any force to harm the secular image of India. There were certain groups like RSS, Bajrang Dal and VHP, which were against him for being secular, but he never bowed, rather he fought and defeated the communal forces damaging the secular identity of the nation. He was the man who ensured that every section was treated equally thereby ensuring development of people from grass roots level irrespective of their caste, creed or colour, Mir said.
On this occasion, Mir lashed out at BJP- RSS and held them responsible for the uncertainty and fear in the country saying that the secular India is in danger under BJP rule and cautioned the people of nefarious designs of BJP- RSS hell bent upon to divide communities for electoral gains, but at the same time, Mir felt confident that people in the entire country have realized that secular fabric of the country is being damaged by BJP for personal benefit.
Many PCC leaders and other functionaries joined Mir to pay tributes to Pt JL Nehru.
