New Delhi, July 6 : On the birth anniversary of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee — founder of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, former Union Minister, and martyr for the complete integration of Kashmir with India — Delhi BJP today paid floral tributes at his statue located in Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee Park, Delhi Gate.

The floral tribute ceremony was held under the leadership of Delhi BJP President Shri Virendra Sachdeva. Union Railway Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, Delhi Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta, and Union Minister of State Shri Harsh Malhotra were the first to offer tributes and address the gathering.

All dignitaries viewed paintings from the art competition and participated in a tree plantation drive. On this occasion, Chandni Chowk BJP President Shri Arvind Garg performed a patriotic organizational song.

Other notable attendees included:

• Delhi BJP General Secretary Shri Pawan Rana

• Assembly Speaker Shri Vijender Gupta

• MPs Shri Manoj Tiwari, Shri Yogendra Chandolia, and Ms. Bansuri Swaraj

• State General Secretary Shri Vishnu Mittal

• Mayor Sardar Raja Iqbal Singh

• Former State Presidents Dr. Harsh Vardhan and Shri Adesh Gupta

• Former MP Shri Ramesh Bidhuri

• Party officials including Shri Gajendra Yadav, Shri Praveen Shankar Kapoor, Shri Rajiv Babbar, Smt. Sunita Kangra, Smt. Sona Kumari, Smt. Sarika Jain, Shri Sumit Bhashin, Shri Brijesh Rai, Shri Shubhendu Shekhar Awasthi, Shri Amit Gupta

• MLAs Shri Mohan Singh Bisht, Shri Abhay Verma, Shri Ajay Mahawar, Shri Kulwant Rana, Shri Ravi Negi, Shri Sanjay Goyal

• MCD leaders Shri Jay Bhagwan Yadav and Shri Pravesh Wahi

• All District Presidents

Painting Competition was coordinated by Delhi BJP's frontal organisations Incharge Shri Sumeet Bhasin.

The event was coordinated by Poorvanchal Morcha President Shri Santosh Ojha and organized by Morcha workers.

Union Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw said that Dr. Mookerjee made a monumental contribution to shaping modern India. His thoughts inspired thousands of workers engaged in nation-building. His ideology brought about policy changes that now drive inclusive development.

He highlighted three key contributions of Dr. Mookerjee :

1. Education: Dr. Mookerjee championed Indian languages at a time when English dominated. He believed that learning in one’s native language enhances comprehension. This vision is reflected in today’s National Education Policy, which includes Hindi and other regional languages.

2. Article 370: Dr. Mookerjee’s struggle against Article 370 eventually led to its abrogation in 2019 — a key milestone in his ideological journey. Today, efforts are ongoing in Kashmir to emotionally and economically integrate it with the rest of India, including road and rail development.

3. Delhi Development: As India’s capital, Delhi deserves world-class infrastructure. He urged all MPs from Delhi to inspect local railway stations and submit improvement plans. Under PM Modi, Delhi’s railway budget has increased tenfold, and masterplans have already been prepared to modernize Shakur Basti and Azadpur stations.

Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva said that Dr. Mookerjee’s life embodies nationalism. From his early days to becoming India’s youngest university vice-chancellor, and later standing up for Hindus during the Bengal crisis — he was a visionary leader.

The founding of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh in Delhi was rooted in nationalist ideology, which later flourished into the Bharatiya Janata Party — now the largest political party in the country. He recalled that during Dr. Mookerjee’ s journey to Jammu and Kashmir, he spent eight days with Kedarnath Sahni and addressed students at Jalandhar University in Hindi, affirming that Hindi is the language that unites the nation.

Dr. Mookerjee firmly believed that Kashmir is an integral part of India, and consistently raised this in Parliament. He declared that “one nation cannot have two constitutions”, a belief realized today.

Shri Sachdeva expressed pride in being part of a party that carries forward his ideology, now being nurtured by PM Modi.

Delhi CM Rekha Gupta said that while many freedom fighters sacrificed their lives for India’s independence, Dr. Mookerjee gave his life for India’s unity and constitutional integrity. He resigned from the Union Cabinet to launch a movement declaring “One Nation, One Constitution” during the Kashmir debate.

She added, “Today, when the Vande Bharat train crosses the Chenab River and India’s highest peaks in Kashmir, we feel a deep connection to every part of India. One constitution and one flag now represent the entire nation. Our duty as a political party is to carry forward the ideas and values shown by Dr. Mookerjee.”
