JAMMU: Senior BJP leader and former minister Priya Sethi today led a plantation drive at the historic Mubarak Mandi complex in connection with the 125th Birth Anniversary of Bharatiya Jana Sangh founder Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee.
The initiative, organised by Distt President Jammu Rajesh Gupta, Vice president Distt Ramesh Gupta and convenor Arun Sethi as a tribute to the visionary leader who laid the foundation for “One Nation, One Constitution,” witnessed enthusiastic participation from party workers, local residents, environmental activists, and students.
Speaking on the occasion, Priya Sethi said, “Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee sacrificed his life for the complete integration of Jammu and Kashmir with the rest of India. It is our duty to honour his legacy not only by remembering his unmatched contribution but also by contributing positively to society.”
The former minister Priya Sethi highlighted that Dr. Mookerjee’s historic slogan “Ek Desh Mein Do Vidhan, Do Pradhan Aur Do Nishan Nahi Chalenge” was not just a call for integration but a movement that shaped India’s unity. “The abrogation of Article 370 was the fulfilment of Dr. Mookerjee’s dream of ‘One Nation, One Constitution’. It ensured equal rights, equal opportunities, and a common national identity for the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” she said. She further added that this constitutional integration brought an end to decades of discrimination and paved the way for development, dignity, and democracy in the region.
Highlighting the importance of environmental protection, the senior BJP leader added that the plantation drive is a symbol of commitment towards a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable Jammu. “Let us plant more trees and nurture them as Dr. Mookerjee nurtured the spirit of nationalism and unity,” she remarked.
Priya Sethi also called upon the youth to follow Dr. Mookerjee's ideals of nationalism, integrity, and service, and to actively participate in such initiatives that combine social responsibility with national pride. The event concluded with the pledge to continue such drives across Jammu & Kashmir in the coming weeks as part of the 125th Birth Anniversary celebrations of Dr. Mookerjee. Prominent among those present during the plantation drive were BJP leaders, members of civil society, and representatives of local organizations.
