CM cautions people of nefarious designs of anti-social elements inimical to peace,communal harmony & brotherhood

Mohali, Aug 15 (UNI) Calling upon the people to take pledge on the solemn occasion of Independence Day, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today appealed to them to thwart the nefarious designs of anti-social elements, which were bent upon to jeopardise their hard earned peace, communal harmony and brotherhood.
Addressing a gathering at Sports Stadium in Government College after unfurling the national Flag during a state level function on the 70th Independence Day here, the Chief Minister said a few inimical forces were always envious of peaceful and development oriented congenial atmosphere in the state and thus constantly stoking fire to derail the process of growth and prosperity. He reiterated, “Let us rededicate ourselves to work collectively to build a strong and prosperous Punjab besides cementing the bonds of love, peace and communal harmony thus fulfilling the vision of our great freedom fighters and national heroes.”
Eulogizing the immense contribution of Punjabis in the national freedom struggle, the Chief Minister said,'' it is matter of sheer pride and honour that despite the fact that we were just 2.5 per cent of country’s entire population and have made more than 80 per cent sacrifices in getting our motherland free from the yoke of British imperialism.'' Our brave Punjabi patriots and great warriors, who spearheaded various movements like Babbar Akali, Gadar, Namdhari and Kamagata Maru during the independence struggle were either exiled or executed. Several national heroes who laid down their lives like Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev, Lala Lajpat Rai, Shaheed Udham Singh and Kartar Singh Sarabha would ever be remembered for their supreme sacrifices till eternity and act as a beacon to kindle the spirit of patriotism and nationalism amongst our future generations to come.''
