Today, the contributions of Maharaja Hari Singh ji are being recognized and the credit goes to every resident of Jammu & Kashmir, said Dr. Nirmal Singh while he congratulated every resident of J&K for the holiday on the birthday of Maharaja Hari Singh ji.

"Maharaja Hari Singh ji is a national hero. His role in history is unparalleled. His timely decisions saved us from a ruinous turn of events and today enabled us to become a part of the largest democracy of the world. This was a historical step taken by Maharaja Hari Singh ji" said Dr. Singh.

Dr. Nirmal Singh, former Dy. CM accompanied by former Minister Sat Sharma, former Minister Sham Choudhary, senior leader Th. Narain Singh and BJP Media Incharge Dr. Pardeep Mahotra was addressing media persons at party headquarter, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.

"Former PM Jawahar Lal Nehru and former CM Sheikh Abdullah hatched a conspiracy against people's Maharaja Hari Singh ji", said Dr. Nirmal Singh.

"Today, Congress leaders are trying to create several controversies over the holiday. I must remind them that their black deeds forced the Maharaja to live the rest of his life in exile who could not return alive to his native state but in ashes. They must answer that where were they for the long 72 years, in which they could have done justice with the Maharaja" said Dr. Singh.

Dr. Singh criticized the parties like Congress, NC, PDP for demeaning the contributions of Maharaja. He said that the leaders of these parties hatched conspiracies against the Maharaja and his significant contributions to the society and the nation. He said that the Jammu residents struggled continuously to get his services recognized.

Dr. Singh expressed his gratitude to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and others who ensured to correct the historic blunder by removing Article 370 and gave due recognition to the true heroes of the state. He also thanked PM Modi, Amit Shah, BJP National President JP Nadda and LG Manoj Sinha and every resident of Duggar Pradesh for ensuring the holiday on the birthday of Maharaja.

"Maharaja Hari Singh ji was very progressive in nature, who undertook essential social reforms to modernize the society. He opened the gates of temples for every section including the SCs but did not bend before the dictates of the time. He took several steps to educate the entire population. He engaged Moulvis into the government education system to break the stereotypes in Muslims about education in modern schools.

"BJP passed a resolution in the Upper House as well as in the Municipality. We also tried to pass it in the Cabinet and this was one of the reasons why we pulled out of the BJP-PDP government in the past. These all made ground for the historic day of 5 August 2019", said Dr. Singh.

Dr. Singh further said that earlier the most important day in our history, the day of Accession, 26th October was recognized and declared a holiday. In addition, today the birthday of Maharaja Hari Singh ji is recognized and declared as a holiday.
