Jammu, June 08: Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Devender Singh Rana on Saturday said that the nation should above all.
‘Nation First’ encapsulates national security, economic development, inclusive growth, cultural nationalism, social justice, good governance and self-reliance, leading to Atmanirbhar Bharat, he said in a statement issued here.
Rana said, “For the BJP, the nation comes first and for the Congress and its INDI Alliance partners family remains above nation.
The BJP leader made these remarks while dedicating the Memorial of Martyr Ct Joginder Kumar at Lower Ranjan in Block Mathwar. Ct Joginder Kumar, son of Shri Ram Saran of 2nd Bn CRPF attained martyrdom on June 11, 2011, at Baghi Dant Bharda Chhattisgarh.
He said the ‘Nation First’ mission under Prime Minister Narendra Modi underlines the BJP’s commitment to making decisions that are in the best interest of India’s long-term stability, security and prosperity.
While a major headway has been made during the first two tenures of the Prime Minister, the third NDA tenure will witness the accomplishment of national urges and aspirations, he added.
Devender further said, “The Congress anthem of family above nation virus has infected INDI Alliance partners in a big way, which is why they are desperately struggling to promote and preserve this culture in the Indian polity.”
He held the Congress responsible for all ills across the country, saying the politics of deceit, deception and opportunism has cast bruises on the national psyche. Their continued attempts to undermine national pride are hurting the patriotic people of the country, he said.
Referring to the heroism of Ct Joginder Kumar, Rana paid a heartfelt tribute to the brave martyr who sacrificed his life for the nation. “The valour and dedication of the brave hearts, who have laid down their lives in the line of duty, makes every Indian proud,” he said, adding, “Remembering and honouring the sacrifices made by the martyrs to protect the sovereignty and integrity of our country is the best tribute to the national heroes.”
The BJP leader added, “The countrymen owe a debt of gratitude to these brave souls who have given their lives to ensure that we live in peace and security. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten, and it is our duty to uphold the values and principles they fought for. Most of the sacrifices have been offered in Jammu and Kashmir, especially during the most testing times of terrorism unleashed by the rogue nation.”
Rana said India stands united in its resolve to protect the nation and to honour those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. “The BJP remains dedicated to strengthening national security and supporting those in uniform in every possible way,” he added.
Earlier, Rana and others paid tributes to the brave heart and said his sacrifice will continue to inspire the generations to serve the nation in whatever way they can to the best of their capabilities.
