Lucknow,

02 June (HS): Om Prakash Rajbhar, chief of the Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party,

said on Monday that his party will commemorate Maharaja Suheldev's triumph over

invaders on June 10 as 'Vijay Diwas'. While lauding Suheldev's bravery, he

accused Congress and the SP of wiping the king's legacy from history.

During

a press conference here, Rajbhar stated that years ago, Maharaja Suheldev

Rajbhar defended Indian culture and identity by defeating the invading forces

of Salar Masud Ghazi, the commander of Mahmud of Ghazni, who had marched into

India with a three lakh-strong army, spreading loot and destruction. Rajbhar

described the event as not just a military success but also a symbol of India's

spiritual and cultural defense, and announced that a great celebration will be

staged on June 10 in Bahraich, the site of the final fight.

Chief

Minister Yogi Adityanath ji will also attend the function. A 'Shaurya Mela' (valour fair) will be held,

with participants from all groups.

Rajbhar stated that it will be an opportunity to celebrate and maintain

our strong cultural history. He questioned political parties' intentions for

supposedly ignoring Maharaja Suheldev's contribution.

I'd

want to question Samajwadi Party head Akhilesh Yadav and the Congress: Did you

strive to remove the legacy of a national hero like Maharaja Suheldev Rajbhar

in order to get votes? Why was his tale

left out of textbooks? Why did the

Samajwadi Party hold ceremonies in commemoration of invader Salar Masud Ghazi

in Bahraich but never commemorate Suheldev's valor on the same land? he said.

Maharaja

Suheldev was a Shravasti ruler who defeated and killed Ghaznavid commander

Ghazi Miyan at Bahraich in 1034. Rajbhar accused the Congress and SP of

concealing the accomplishments and valor of great individuals.

Throughout

history, there have been conflicts with the Mughals. He said that SP and

Congress did all the 'dramebaji' to get votes from their (Mughal) 'vanshaj'

(heirs). Rajbhar attributed his party, the SBSP, with advocating for the

installation of Suheldev's statue, the foundation of a university in his honor,

the inclusion of his tale in educational curriculum, the issuing of

commemorative stamps, and the erection of memorials. I applaud Prime Minister

Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Adityanath for acknowledging Maharaja

Suheldev's efforts. His statue has been put in Bahraich, a memorial park has

been built near Chittaura Lake (Bahraich), and a university has been founded in

Azamgarh in his honor. Rajbhar also said

that a postage stamp has been prepared to commemorate his legacy.

He

stated that Maharaja Suheldev was more than simply a Rajbhar community hero; he

was also a guardian of the Indian country and its principles. Rajbhar lashed

out at the Congress, claiming that the party has always worked against the

country. He accused its leader, Rahul Gandhi, of bringing the nation into

disrepute during his foreign visits.
