Prayagraj,

26 June (HS): On the birth anniversary of Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, the

composer of the Vande Mataram song, the BJP organized a mass singing of

Vande Mataram at the Circuit House on Thursday. On this occasion,

Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya, while addressing the workers, said that

Vande Mataram is not just a poem but the great mantra for the whole

of India, which freed us from the slavery of the British and increased the

value of the Indian tricolor.

The

Deputy CM said that the work that cannot be done with the edge of a sword can

be done with the tip of a pen and when Bankim Chandra Chatterjee used the same

pen, Vande Mataram was composed. Singing this great mantra, the brave

revolutionaries smiled and kissed the noose of the gallows. Vande Mataram was

on everyone's lips during the freedom struggle. The same Vande Mataram which

was tried to be erased during the British rule, the same Vande Mataram was used

to make the British run for their lives and drive them out of India.

Keshav

Prasad Maurya said that this event on the birth anniversary of Bankim Chandra

Chatterjee, the author of such a timeless creation, is a matter of pride for

all of us. Every year on 26 June, on his birth anniversary, Vande Mataram is

sung collectively. BJP's program begins with Vande Mataram and ends with Jana

Gana Mana.

BJP

Prayagraj Metropolitan President Sanjay Gupta said that Prayagraj is the only

district where every year a collective Vande Mataram song is sung on the birth

anniversary of Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay. Vande Mataram is our consciousness

and our strength. Before this, the Deputy CM paid homage by garlanding the

portraits of Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay and Bharat Mata.

Do not make the mistake of breaking the faith and devotion of the Kanwarias:

Keshav Prasad Maurya - In an informal conversation with the media regarding the

Kanwar Yatra, Keshav Prasad Maurya said that the government's clear message is

that no one should make the mistake of disrupting the faith and devotion of

Kanwar pilgrims. Otherwise, legal action will be taken if found out. When

illegal land occupation etc. of people associated with the Samajwadi Party is

investigated, they make baseless allegations. On the question of occupation of

government land by Atiq Ahmed's henchmen, the Deputy CM said that whoever is

doing this should leave the illegal occupation or else the government will do

its work.

During

this time, Kashi region vice president Awadhesh Chandra Gupta, BJP Prayagraj

Metropolitan President Sanjay Gupta, Gangapar President Nirmala Paswan,

Yamunapar President Rajesh Shukla, Mayor Ganesh Kesarwani, MLA Guru Prasad
