Lucknow, 06 July (HS): On the occasion of the birth

anniversary of the revered Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Ji, the founding president

of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath participated at the

floral tribute program organized in Lucknow.

In Lucknow, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath paid tribute to

Bharatiya Jana Sangh founder Shyama Prasad Mukherjee on his 125th birth

anniversary on Monday. The Chief Minister paid homage to him by laying a wreath

at his statue at Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Hospital on Park Road. Deputy

Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, Minister Swatantradev Singh, and several others

were present on the occasion.

On this occasion, CM Yogi said that if today's West Bengal

is a part of India, then among the leaders who dedicated themselves and made it

a part of that movement, the name of Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee comes

prominently. As the Food and Industry Minister of the country in independent

India, he implemented the Food and Industry policy in the country with

prominence. The CM said that when the Nehru government became a threat to the

integrity of the country, Dr. Mukherjee gave up the power. After this, as the

founding president of Bharatiya Jana Sangh, he opposed the permit system of

Kashmir by proclaiming two constitutions, two heads, two flags in one country.

For this he was arrested and he died in Kashmir itself.

In a post on X, he mentioned, “On the occasion of the birth

anniversary of the great son of Mother India and the founding president of the

Bharatiya Jana Sangh, the revered Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee ji, today in

Lucknow, floral tributes were offered at his statue and homage was paid. It is

a matter of great fortune for us that the Bengal which Dr. Syama Prasad

Mookerjee ji saved from the 'bloody clutches of Pakistan' and kept as an

integral part of India, today that same Bengal is witnessing the good

governance of the Bharatiya Janata Party, which follows his principles and

ideals. Salutations to his sacred memories.”

“Visionary Politician of a Powerful India. Today, we are

celebrating the 125th birth anniversary of Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Ji. His

life is an inspiring example of courage and unwavering dedication to Mother

India. His personality was a remarkable confluence of scholarship, public

service, and high moral values. Only a few leaders of modern India possess such

a multitude of qualities together,” he added in another post.

Similarly, he also mentioned, “On the birth anniversary of

the great nationalist thinker, educationist, and founding president of the

Bharatiya Jana Sangh, Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee, humble tribute. Proclaiming

One country, two constitutions, two heads, two symbols, will not

do..., he infused new life into the resolve for the nation's unity and

integrity, and by offering his sacrifice, awakened the entire nation. His

dedication to 'Undivided India' fills us all with new inspiration, new energy,

and new strength.”
