Nehru’s statue found in garbage in Bareilly
Congress leaders in the city have been protesting and observing hunger strikes for the past four days after a statue of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was found in a garbage heap.
On the 133rd birth anniversary of the first Prime Minister of Independent India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) president Chaudhary Anil Kumar, along with a large number of Congress workers and leaders, offered floral tribute at the DPCC office, Rajiv Bhawan, on Monday.
DPCC president also went to the samadhi of Pandit Nehru at ShantiVan and offered floral tribute to him.
Addressing congress workers and leaders at the event, Chaudhary said that Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was a great visionary who foresaw the path the country should take for progress and development after gaining independence from the British.
He said that if India holds its head high among the comity of nations as a powerful country, it was due to the steps taken by the first Prime Minister of the country to create the facilities and infrastructure for development and progress.
Besides Chaudhary Anil Kumar, others who offered floral tributes at the portrait of Pandit Nehru were Netta D’Souza, Charanjit Rai, Rajesh Kaushik and Yogesh Jain.
Chaudhary said that it was just as well that Congress candidates filed their nomination papers for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections on Nehru Ji’s birthday, as he was a true role model and inspiration for generations of Indians.
He said that Congress gave representation to all categories of people, including women, minorities, the marginalized, with a mix of youth and experience being the hall mark of the party’s selection of candidates and their acceptability among the people.
