BJP changes route of Parivartan rally

The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday had to take an alternative route for its ‘Parivartan Yatra’ in West Bengal’s Murshidabad after the police stopped its rath from venturing into some of the district’s “sensitive pockets”, a senior police officer said. District BJP leader Gourishankar Ghosh said the party had intimated the administration about the route being taken for the yatra well in advance, and no objection was raised then. The ‘Parivartan Yatra’ on a rath was flagged off by BJP national president JP Nadda from Nabadwip in Nadia district on February 6, as part of the saffron party’s outreach programme ahead of the assembly polls. It travelled through Nakasipara before entering Murshidabad on February 7. Members of the party are interacting with people and distributing pamphlets.

Dedicated to 400th Prakash Utsav of Guru Teg Bahadur, Uttar Pradesh Punjabi Academy organised a programme ‘dharam het saka jin keeya’ at Ravindrayala where 40 dignitaries from the state were honoured for their contribution in the growth of guruwani, mother tongue punjabi, Sikh history and social service. KS Abbott, chairman of Shri Sukhmani Saheb Sewa Society, was honoured for his contribution in the development of Guruvani and Punjabi along with head of KKNS Gurmat Sangeet Academy Sardar Harminder Singh Mindi for running free kirtan classes in seven city Gurudwaras.

His social services during lockdown were highly appreciated. Artists from Patiala presented a live laser show on the given topic where their performance was appreciated by one and all. Guru ka langar was distributed to all on the occasion.
