The Chief Minister paid floral tribute to Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee on his 125th birth anniversary at Haryana Bhawan, New Delhi on Sunday. On this occasion, he also planted a sapling under the Prime Minister’s initiative ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign and also encouraged people to plant trees in the name of great personalities to help protect the environment. BJP Haryana State President, Sh. Mohan Lal Badoli was also present and paid his tribute to Dr. Mookerjee and also planted a sapling.
While interacting with the media after the event, the Chief Minister said that Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee, a strong nationalist, founder of Jana Sangh, and a freedom fighter, always worked in the interest of the nation. He said that we must follow the path shown by him and contribute to building a developed India. Dr. Mookerjee always prioritised service to society and worked for the welfare of the underprivileged, which is why he is remembered as a true well-wisher of the poor, he added.
The Chief Minister further informed that an important meeting regarding the SYL (Sutlej-Yamuna Link) issue will be held in New Delhi on July 9. Positive aspects will be considered unanimously in the meeting, and since Haryana shares a brotherly bond with Punjab, we hope a solution will emerge through communication, said the Chief Minister.
He said that a large-scale plan to build a jungle safari in Haryana is in progress and will be implemented soon. He recently visited the Vantara Centre in Jamnagar, Gujarat, where injured or abandoned animals and birds are rescued and treated. The centre also works to protect and preserve endangered species.
