Jammu June 22: Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Devender Singh Rana on Saturday called for collective efforts to realise the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mission “Antyodaya” to ensure the upliftment of the last person in the societal pyramid.
“Social justice and inclusive growth remain core of the BJP’s philosophy with thrust on Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Prayas, Sabka Vishwas,” Rana said while addressing a congregation at Shri Sant Kabir Vandana Ashram Katalbattal, here, held on the auspicious occasion of Shri Kabir Jayanti.
He referred to various path-breaking initiatives taken during the past over a decade by PM Modi-led NDA government for the upliftment of all segments of society, especially weaker and marginalised sections. This is imperative for promoting harmony and strengthening the brotherhood, he added.
Greeting the people on Kabir Jayanti, Rana highlighted the great Saint’s love for humanity, saying his philosophy in verse will continue to guide society to overcome hate, animosity and bitterness. “Sant Kabir sought to alleviate the suffering masses by guiding them to the ocean of truth,” he said, adding that the best way of remembering the greatest Bhakti poet is to take a pledge to tread the path shown by him and work for the growth of harmonious society where people, irrespective of caste, creed or colour live a dignified life based on the well-defined principles of humanity.
The BJP leader said that great saints and sages have blessed humanity with their eternal messages of peace, harmony, love and compassion that have helped society to steer to light from the dark tunnel of ignorance and selfishness. “The path shown by Kabirji has helped the society to eschew the tendencies of hatred and intolerance, which will continue to inspire generations,” he said.
Devender urged the people to keep this spirit alive and work to cement the bonds of love and amity. This will be a real tribute to Sant Kabir, an epitome of peace, amity and brotherhood, he added.
In his enlightened discourse, Sant Sudershan Ji Maharaj dwelt upon the life and contribution of Sant Kabir Ji for the harmonious growth of the society. He hoped that people will follow the teachings of great gurus and work towards the betterment of society.
“The hallmark of eternal messages has been to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood between various communities so that this world becomes a better place to live in,” he said.
“There is a need for imparting values among the youngsters to foster amity between various sectors of the people,” Maharaj stressed.
