राहुल गाँधी ने किया देशद्रोहियों का समर्थन : श्री अमित शाह

कुछ दिन पहले जवाहरलाल यूनिवर्सिटी (जेएनयू) परिसर में जिस तरह से राष्ट्रविरोधी नारे लगाए गए, भारतीय जनता पार्टी उसकी कड़ी निंदा करती है और इस प्रकार की गतिविधियों पर चिंता भी व्यक्त करती है। भारतीय जनता पार्टी का मानना है कि देश की जमीन पर या इसके किसी भी हिस्से पर इस तरह की देशद्रोही गतिविधियों को सहन नहीं किया जा सकता। कांग्रेस पार्टी के राष्ट्रीय उपाध्यक्ष श्री राहुल गांधी ने जेएनयू जाकर जिस तरह से इस घटना का समर्थन किया है, वह सबसे बड़ा चिंता का विषय है। भारतीय जनता पार्टी देश की रक्षा करने वाले शहीद जवानों और उनके परिवारों के साथ खड़ी है और हमारा मानना है कि हर राष्ट्रभक्त व्यक्ति एवं संस्थाओं को देश की सीमा की सुरक्षा करनेवाले जवानों के संवेदनाओं की चिंता करना चाहिए।

लंबी कानूनी प्रक्रिया के बाद देश के सर्वोच्च न्यायालय द्वारा संसद पर हमला करनेवाले आतंकी अफज़ल गुरु को फांसी की सजा दी गई। उसके बाद आतंकी अफज़ल गुरु के समर्थन में देेश को तोड़ने के लिए ‘पाकिस्तान जिंदाबाद’, ‘भारत की बर्बादी तक जंग रहेगी – जंग रहेगी’, ‘अफज़ल हम शर्मिन्दा हैं तेरे कातिल ज़िंदा हैं’, ‘हर घर में अफज़ल होंगे – भारत तेरे टुकड़े होंगे’, जैसे जो नारे लगाए गए, अगर कांग्रेस उपाध्यक्ष, अभिव्यक्ति की आजादी के नाम पर इसका समर्थन कर रहे हैं तो मैं कांग्रेस पार्टी से पूछना चाहता हूँ कि इससे बड़ा देशद्रोह का सबूत और क्या हो सकता है। इतना होने के बावजूद, न तो कांग्रेस अध्यक्षा, न कांग्रेस उपाध्यक्ष और न ही कांग्रेस का कोई प्रवक्ता इस घटना के लिए माफी मांगने को तैयार है। आज भी कांग्रेस के प्रवक्ता आतंकी अफज़ल गुरु को अफज़ल गुरु ‘जी’ कहकर सम्बोधित कर रहे हैं।

मैं कांग्रेस पार्टी से पूछना चाहता हूँ कि क्या वह राहुल गांधी द्वारा जेएनयू परिसर में देशद्रोही नारे लगाने वालों के समर्थन में दिए गए बयानों का समर्थन करती है? कांग्रेस पार्टी को इसपर जवाब देना चाहिए। मैं श्रीमान राहुल गांधी से यह भी पूछना चाहता हूँ कि क्या आपको देशद्रोही गतिविधियों का समर्थन करते वक्त देश की संसद की सुरक्षा करनेवाले शहीद जवानों और उनके परिवारों की संवेदनाओं का ख़याल नहीं आया? आखिर कब तक वोट बैंक की राजनीति की खातिर आप देश के जवानों की शहादत का मजाक उड़ाते रहेंगें? क्या आपको इस बात की चिंता है कि आप अभिव्यक्ति की आजादी की आड़ में देशद्रोही प्रवृत्तियों को प्रश्रय देने से भी नहीं चूक रहे? इस पूरे मामले पर कांग्रेस पार्टी और कांग्रेस अध्यक्षा श्रीमती सोनिया गांधी को अपना रुख स्पष्ट करना चाहिए।

देश की जनता यह जानना चाहती है कि आखिर अभिव्यक्ति की आजादी की कांग्रेस की व्याख्या क्या है। देश की जनता यह जानना चाहती है कि अभिव्यक्ति की आजादी के नाम पर छात्रों को अपनी बात कहने देने का मतलब हिन्दुस्तान को टुकड़े करना है क्या? देश की जनता यह जानना चाहती है कि अभिव्यक्ति की आजादी का मतलब आतंकी अफज़ल गुरु का समर्थन करना है क्या? देश की जनता यह जानना चाहती है कि कांग्रेस देश के सर्वोच्च अदालत के फैसले को मानती है या नहीं? भारतीय जनता पार्टी यह मांग करती है कि कांग्रेस पार्टी को इन सब बातों का स्पष्टीकरण देना चाहिए। यदि कांग्रेस के दिल में शहीदों के परिवारों के प्रति थोड़ी सी भी संवेदना है और उसे यदि लगता है कि देशद्रोहियों का समर्थन नहीं करना चाहिए तो कांग्रेस अध्यक्षा श्रीमती सोनिया गांधी और कांग्रेस उपाध्यक्ष राहुल गांधी को देशवासियों से अविलंब माफी मांगनी चाहिए।

राष्ट्रविरोधी ताकतों का समर्थन कर रही है कांग्रेस : श्रीकांत शर्मा

भारतीय जनता पार्टी के राष्ट्रीय सचिव श्री श्रीकांत शर्मा ने गुरूवार को अभिव्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता की आड़ में राष्ट्रविरोधी ताकतों का समर्थन करने के लिए कांग्रेस और उसके सहयोगी दलों तथा वामपंथी पार्टियों पर करारा प्रहार करते हुए कहा कि ये लोग जेएनयू जैसे प्रतिष्ठित शिक्षण संस्थान के माहौल को दूषित करने का प्रयास कर रहे हैं।

भाजपा सचिव श्री शर्मा ने कहा कि देश के संविधान ने देश के प्रत्येक नागरिक को अभिव्यक्ति की आज़ादी दी है लेकिन साथ ही, इस आजादी की एक लक्ष्मण रेखा भी तय की गई है। उन्होंने कहा कि 09 फरवरी, 2016 को जवाहरलाल नेहरू विश्वविद्यालय परिसर में जो देशद्रोही नारे लगे, वह स्पष्ट रूप से हमारी एकता और अखंडता को चुनौती है और इन नारों का समर्थन सरासर देश के साथ गद्दारी है।

श्री शर्मा ने कहा कि जेएनयू परिसर में अभिव्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता की आड़ में जिस तरह से राष्ट्र विरोधी गतिविधियों को अंजाम दिया गया, वह वास्तव में एक गंभीर चिंता का विषय है। उन्होंने कहा कि इन देशविरोधी नारों के खिलाफ देश भर में जबर्दश्त जनाक्रोश है। उन्होंने कहा कि ये नारे कठिन परिस्थितियों में भी देश की सीमा की सुरक्षा करनेवाले देश के जांबाज सिपाहियों और तिरंगे का अपमान है, ये नारे अपने प्राणों की आहुति देकर भी देश की एकता और अखंडता को अक्षुण्ण रखनेवाले देश के वीर शहीदों और उनके परिवारों का अपमान है, ये नारे देश के संविधान और महामहिम राष्ट्रपति का अपमान है।

भाजपा सचिव ने कहा कि देश को तोड़नेवाली इस विचारधारा के खिलाफ दलगत राजनीति से ऊपर उठकर एक साथ लामबंध होने की जरूरत है, समवेत स्वरों में इसकी कड़ी भर्त्स्ना की जरूरत है और इस तरह के राष्ट्रविरोधी तत्त्वों को कुचलने की जरूरत है। उन्होंने कहा कि इसके बजाय, कुछ निजी स्वार्थ के चलते वामपंथी पार्टियां, कांग्रेस और उसके सहयोगी दल राजनीतिक दुर्भावना से ग्रस्त होकर इसपर घृणित राजनीति कर रहीं हैं।

श्री शर्मा ने कहा कि कुछ मुट्ठी भर हताश और निराश लोग देश के प्रतिष्ठित शिक्षण संस्थानों के माहौल को खराब कर गरीब परिवार से आये छात्रों के भविष्य के साथ खिलवाड़ कर रहे हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि ये वही लोग हैं जिन्होंने वोट बैंक के लिए हमेशा देश को बांटने का काम किया है, ये वही लोग हैं, जो मोदी सरकार की सफलता को पचा नहीं पा रहे हैं, ये वही लोग हैं जो गरीबों के उत्थान और देश की तरकी के लिए अनवरत काम करनेवाली मोदी सरकार के खिलाफ लगातार झूठा दुष्प्रचार करते आ रहे हैं, ये वही लोग हैं जिन्होंने पुरस्कार वापसी का झूठा नाटक करके दुनिया भर में भारत की छवि को खराब करने की कोशिश की थी। उन्होंने कहा कि यह असहिष्णुता की पराकाष्ठा नहीं तो और क्या है? उन्होंने कहा कि इन लोगों की नीयत ही यही है कि देश को कैसे बांटा जाए और राजनीति की जाए।

भाजपा सचिव ने कहा कि भाजपा के ऊपर लगाए गए तमाम आरोप निराधार साबित हुए हैं और विपक्षियों को मुंह की खानी पड़ी है। श्री शर्मा ने कहा कि मोदी सरकार एक ‘विज़न’ को लेकर चल रही है जबकि गरीब विरोधी एवं विकास विरोधी कांग्रेस एंड कंपनी ‘टेलीविजन’ और ‘डिवीजन’ की राजनीति कर रही है। उन्होंने तमाम विपक्षी पार्टियों को चुनौती देते हुए कहा कि अगर आप में हिम्मत है तो आप देश के विकास और योजनाओं पर प्रतिस्पर्धा कीजिये जो आप करना नहीं चाहते। उन्होंने कहा कि भाजपा शासित तमाम राज्य विकास एवं तरक्की के रास्ते में दूसरे राज्यों से कहीं आगे हैं।

श्री शर्मा ने कहा कि जब जेएनयू में नारा लगता है – ‘पाकिस्तान जिंदाबाद, पाकिस्तान जिंदाबाद’ और ‘भारत तेरे टुकड़े होंगें – इंशा अलाह इंशा अल्लाह’ तो राहुल गांधी कहते हैं कि सबको अपनी बात कहने का हक़ है, जब नारा लगता है – ‘भारत की बर्बादी तक – जंग रहेगी, जंग रहेगी’ तो राहुल गांधी कहते हैं कि छात्रों ने जो महसूस किया, वो बोल रहे हैं, जब नारा लगता है – ‘तुम कितने अफज़ल मारोगे, हर घर से अफज़ल निकलेगा’ तो राहुल गांधी कहते हैं कि छात्रों की आवाज दबानेवाला देशद्रोही है। भाजपा सचिव ने कहा कि ऐसे देशद्रोही तत्त्वों को समर्थन देने के बावजूद राहुल गांधी कहते है कि मेरे खून में राष्ट्रवाद है। उन्होंने राहुल गांधी के इस वक्तव्य पर पलटवार कहते हुए कहा कि कांग्रेस का ये कौन सा खून है जो आतंकवादियों की मौत पर रात भर आंसू बहाता है और उसके प्रवक्ता व नेता आतंवादियों को ‘जी’ और ‘साहब’ कहकर सम्बोधित करते हैं। श्री शर्मा ने राहुल गांधी पर निशाना साधते हुए कहा कि ‘कांग्रेस दर्शन’ तो कहता है कि आपके खून में तो फासीवाद है और आप कहते हैं कि आपके खून में राष्ट्रवाद है।

भाजपा सचिव श्री श्रीकांत शर्मा ने कांग्रेस अध्यक्षा श्रीमती सोनिया गांधी और उपाध्यक्ष राहुल गांधी को आगाह करते हुए कहा कि आप देश के प्रतिष्ठित संस्थानों को राजनीति का अखाड़ा बनाने का कुचक्र ना करें, अपनी जहरीली राजनीति के लिए इन प्रतिष्ठित शिक्षण संस्थानों को दूषित करने का प्रयास न करें और छात्रों के भविष्य के साथ खिलवाड़ न करें। उन्होंने कहा कि कांग्रेस अध्यक्षा श्रीमती सोनिया गांधी और उपाध्यक्ष राहुल गांधी को अपने घृणित कार्य के लिए अविलंब देश से माफी मांगनी चाहिए।

Shri Narendra Modi

THE COMMON MAN WHO BECAME THE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA – NARENDRA MODI

Born on September 17th , 1950 at Vadnagar, a small town in Mehsana district of North Gujarat, Shri Narendra Modi grew up in a culture that instilled in him the values of generosity, benevolence and social service. During the India-Pak war in the mid sixties, even as a young boy, he volunteered to serve the soldiers in transit at railway stations. In 1967, he served the flood affected people of Gujarat. Endowed with excellent organizational capability and a rich insight into human psychology, he served in Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and played a prominent role in various socio-political movements in Gujarat.

Right from his childhood days he was confronted with many odds and obstacles, but he transformed challenges into opportunities by sheer strength of character and courage. Particularly when he joined college and University for higher education, his path was beset with tough struggles. But in the battle of life he has always been a fighter, a true soldier. Having put his step forward he never looked back. He refused to drop out or be defeated. It was this commitment which enabled him to complete his post graduation in political science. He started with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a socio-cultural organization with a focus on social and cultural development of India and imbibed the spirit of selflessness, social responsibility, dedication and nationalism.
While serving in the RSS, Shri Narendra Modi played several important roles on various occasions including the 1974 Navnirman anti-corruption agitation and the harrowing 19-month (June 1975 to January 1977) long Emergency when the fundamental rights of Indian citizens were strangled. Modi kept the spirit of democracy alive by going underground for the entire period and fighting a spirited battle against the fascist ways of the then central government.

He entered mainstream politics in 1987 by joining the BJP. Just within a year, he was elevated to the level of General Secretary of the Gujarat unit. By that time he had already acquired a reputation for being a highly efficient organizer. He took up the challenging task of energizing the party cadres in right earnest. The party started gaining political mileage and formed a coalition government at the centre in April 1990. This partnership fell apart within a few months, but the BJP came to power with a two-thirds majority on its own in Gujarat in 1995. Since then, the BJP has been governing Gujarat.

Between 1988 and 1995, Shri Narendra Modi was recognized as a master strategist who had successfully gained the necessary groundwork for making the Gujarat BJP the ruling party of the state. During this period, Shri Modi was entrusted with the responsibility of organizing two crucial national events, the Somnath to Ayodhya Rath Yatra (a very long march) of Shri L.K. Advani and a similar march from Kanyakumari (the southernmost part of India) to Kashmir in the North. The ascent of the BJP to power at New Delhi in 1998 has been attributed to these two highly successful events, substantially handled by Shri Modi.

In 1995, he was appointed the National Secretary of the party and given the charge of five major states in India – a rare distinction for a young leader. In 1998, he was promoted as the General Secretary (Organization), a post he held until October 2001, when he was chosen to be the Chief Minister of Gujarat, one of the most prosperous and progressive states of India.?During his stint at the national level, Shri Narendra Modi was given the responsibility to oversee the affairs of several state level units, including the sensitive and crucial state of Jammu and Kashmir and the equally sensitive north-eastern states. He was responsible for revamping the party organization in several states. While working at the national level, Shri Narendra Modi emerged as an important spokesman for the party and played a key role on several important occasions.

During this period, he travelled extensively across the world and interacted with eminent leaders of several countries. These experiences not only helped him develop a global perspective but also intensified his passion to serve India and lead it towards the socio-economic supremacy in the comity of nations.

In October 2001, he was called upon by the party to lead the Government in Gujarat. When Shri Modi ‘s government was sworn in on October 7, 2001, the economy of Gujarat was reeling under the adverse effects of several natural calamities, including a massive earthquake in January 2001. However Shri Narendra Modi, a master strategist, who was enriched by national and international exposure and experience, decided to take the bull by its horns.

The biggest challenge that he had to face, when he took over as the Chief Minister, was the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the areas affected by the massive earthquake of January 2001. Bhuj was a city of rubble and thousands of people were living in temporary shelters without any basic infrastructure. Today Bhuj is proof of how Shri Narendra Modi has turned adversity into an opportunity for holistic development.

Even when the reconstruction and rehabilitation was going on, Shri Narendra Modi did not lose sight of the bigger picture. Gujarat had always focused on industrial growth. Shri Narendra Modi decided to correct the imbalance by focusing appropriately on social sectors for an integrated socio-economic growth. He conceived the Panchamrut Yojana – a five-pronged strategy for an integrated development of the state.

Under his leadership, Gujarat is witnessing massive transformation in several sectors including education, agriculture, healthcare and several others. He developed a clear vision of his own for the future of the state, launched policy-driven reform programmes, reoriented government’s administrative structure and successfully put Gujarat on the road to prosperity. His intentions and capacity were noticed within the first 100 days of his coming to power. Little wonder that these skills coupled with his administrative acumen, clear vision and integrity of character translated into a landslide victory in the December 2002 general elections and the Modi government was voted back to power with a massive majority of 128 seats in a house of 182. The spectacular performance continued in 2007 when in yet another election Shri Modi led the BJP to a record win.

Shri Narendra Modi completed record 4000 days in service of the people of Gujarat on 17th September 2012. He has been blessed by the support of the people of Gujarat in three successive elections. After leading the party to victory in 2002 and 2007 (117 seats) elections, Shri Modi led the BJP to another victory at the hustings during the 2012 Gujarat Assembly Elections. The BJP emerged victorious in 115 seats and Shri Modi was sworn-in as the CM of Gujarat for the 4th consecutive time on 26th December 2012.

Today, people’s expectations have been more than fulfilled. Today Gujarat is leading the nation in a variety of sectors be it e-Governance, investments, poverty eradication, power, SEZs, road development, fiscal discipline and many more. Its growth story is not based on the development of any one sector but on the development of all three sectors (agriculture, industry and services). Behind the robust growth of Gujarat is Shri Modi’s Mantra of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and his emphasis on Pro-people, pro-active good governance (P2G2) where he has made the people of Gujarat active partners in the state’s progress.

Fighting against all odds, he ensured that the Narmada dam reached 121.9m. Height – He even observed a fast to counteract those obstructing the construction. “Sujalam Sufalam” – a scheme to create a grid of water resources in Gujarat is yet another innovative step towards water conservation and its appropriate utilization.

Certain novel ideas like introduction of Soil Health Cards, Roaming Ration Cards and Roaming School Cards show his concern for the most common man of the state.

His initiatives such as Krishi Mahotsav, Chiranjeevi Yojana, Matru Vandana, Beti Bachao campaign (save the girl child), Jyotigram Yojana, and Karmayogi Abhiyan, E-Mamta, eMPOWER, SCOPE, iCreate etc. aim at multi-dimensional development of Gujarat. The vision, concept and time-bound implementation of such initiatives is what makes Shri Narendra Modi stand out as a true statesman who thinks of the next generation against the backdrop of politicians who can only think as far as the next elections.

Widely regarded as a youthful and energetic mass leader with innovative thoughts, Shri Narendra Modi has successfully communicated his vision to the people of Gujarat and has been able to impart faith, trust and hope among more than 6 crore people of Gujarat. His outstanding memory of addressing lacs of people, even common men, by their first name has made him the darling of the masses. His immense respect for spiritual leaders has helped build bridges across religions. A wide cross-section of the people of Gujarat, cutting across income groups, religions and even political affiliations, continue to adore Shri Narendra Modi as an able and visionary leader who is transparently and convincingly uplifting the quality of their lives. A skilled orator and a deft negotiator, Shri Modi has earned the love of people from villages and cities alike. His following encompasses people belonging to every faith and religion and every economic section of society.

It is under his able leadership that Gujarat has bagged several awards and accolades from all over the world – including UN Sasakawa Award for disaster reduction, Commonwealth Association for Public Administration and Management (CAPAM) award for innovations in governance, UNESCO award, CSI award for e-Governance etc. The very fact that Shri Narendra Modi has been ranked as the number one Chief Minister by the public for three consecutive years speaks volumes for his achievements.

His masterstroke of putting Gujarat on the global map essentially is ongoing campaign called the Vibrant Gujarat that truly transforms Gujarat into one of the most preferred investment destinations. The 2013 Vibrant Gujarat Summit drew participation from over 120 nations of the world, a commendable feat in itself.

Gujarat has been registering double digit growth rates for the past several years. While Gujarat continues to accelerate on the path of growth and development, the voyager continues to walk tirelessly, leaving behind his footprints on the sands of time, transforming milestones into milestones, step by step.

Even an overview of his journey in politics from grass-roots to the helm will speak volumes of his ever rising stature as a leader.

If one looks for the ideas and ideals of leadership, here is a classic role model showing how the youth, endowed with strength of character, courage, dedication and vision at once flowers into creative leadership. It is not quite common to see, in public life, a man with such profound spirit of service and fixity of purpose; loved so well by the people whom he loves so deeply. He has, in not so long span of time, emerged as the man of destiny.

PRACTICAL DREAMER

Shri Narendra Modi is a great dreamer, who has the remarkable ability to transform his dreams into reality. His supreme dream is the regeneration and transformation of Gujarat, and eventually his motherland emerging as a developed and powerful nation. His dream for India encompasses an extensive range – one that vitally fosters agricultural research, protection of the environment, infrastructure as the lifeline of industry and global investments. In short, the emergence of a new and happy society celebrating the endless festival of life! Shri Narendra Modi has a reputation for being a hard taskmaster and strict disciplinarian but at the same time he is an embodiment of strength and compassion.

Here is a man who has great faith in education as a means of integral human development and progress to take society far beyond the encircling darkness, gloom and poverty. He emphasises the spread of education especially that of girls which has so far been largely neglected.

Shri Narendra Modi’s love for education is revealed in his respect for teachers and in Kanya Kelavani Yojana, an initiative which is very close to his heart, ushering in an era of enlightenment and empowerment right at the grass root level. Where else will you find a chief minister camping in remote villages in the heat and dirt to encourage parents to educate their daughters?

With a profound interest in technology and science, Shri Narendra Modi has sculpted Gujarat into an e governed state and has fostered several innovative applications of technology. Initiatives such as Swagat Online and Tele Fariyad have brought in e-transparency and put the citizens in direct contact with the highest office in administration. It is so rare to find a chief minister lending such an attentive ear to the grievances of the common man and ensuring that the issues get resolved in a definite time frame.

Shri Narendra Modi, a big believer in people, has skilfully led the half a million strong team of government employees into new realms of a proactive work culture through a ‘continuous learning’ initiative called Karmayogi Maha Abhiyan. Gujarat has a chief minister so concerned about transforming Sarkari Karmacharis into Asar Kari Karmayogis (a band of effective workers).

Shri Narendra Modi is both a realist and an idealist with robust optimism. He has imbibed the noble view that not failure but low aim is a crime. He values clarity of vision, sense of purpose and diligent perseverance as essential qualities for achievement in any walk of life. Concern for his land and people has been uppermost in his mind.

FOUNDER:

Syama Prasad Mookerjee (1901-1953)

Founder of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh

The BJP is the successor party of the BJS, which merged itself into the Janata Party in 1977. The BJP was formed as a separate party in 1980 after internal differences in the Janata Party resulted in the collapse of it’s government in 1979.

A brief life-sketch

Dr. Mookerjee’s mother Jogmaya Debi exclaimed, on hearing of her son’s death.
“Proudly do I feel that the loss of my son is a loss to Mother India !”

Born on 6th July 1901 in a famous family. His father Sir Asutosh was widely known in Bengal. Graduated from Calcutta University he became a fellow of the Senate in 1923. He enrolled as an advocate in Calcutta High Court in 1924 after his father’s death. Subsequently he left for England in 1926 to study in Lincoln’s Inn and became a barrister in 1927. At the age of 33, he became the world’s youngest Vice-Chancellor of the Calcutta University and held the office till 1938. During his tenure, he introduced a number of constructive reforms and was active in Asiatic Society of Calcutta as well as was a member of the Court and the Council of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and Chairman of the Inter-University of Board.

He was elected as member of the Legislative Council of Bengal as a Congress candidate representing Calcutta University but resigned next year when Congress decided to boycott the legislature. Subsequently, he contested the election as an independent and got elected.

He became the opposition leader when Krishak Praja Party – Muslim League coalition was in power 1937-41 and joined the Progressive Coalition Ministry headed by Fazlul Haq as a Finance Minister and within less than an year resigned. He emerged as a spokesman for Hindus and shortly joined Hindu Mahasabha and in 1944, he became the President.

After the assassination of Gandhiji, he wanted the Hindu Mahasabha not to be restricted to Hindus alone or work as apolitical body for the service of masses and broke away from it on this issue on November 23, 1948.

Pandit Nehru inducted him in the Interim Central Government as a Minister for Industry and supply. On issue of Delhi pact with Likayat Ali Khan, Mookerjee resigned from the Cabinet on 6th April 1950. After consultation with Shri Golwalkar Guruji of RSS Shri Mookerjee founded Bharatiya Jana Sangh on 21st Oct. 1951 at Delhi and he became the first President of it. In 1952 elections, Bharatiya Jana Sangh won 3 seats in Parliament one of them being that of Shri Mookerjee. He had formed National Democratic Party within the Parliament which consisted 32 members of MPs and 10 of Members of Rajya Sabha which however was not recognised by the speaker as an opposition party.

To voice his opposition he turned outside Parliament and on Kashmir he termed the arrangement under Article 370 as Balkanisation of India and three nation theory of Shaikh Abdullah. Bharatiya Jana Sangh along with Hindu Mahasabha and Ram Rajya Parishad launched a massive Satyagraha to get removed the pernicious provisions. Mookerjee went to visit Kashmir in 1953 and was arrested on 11th May while crossing border. He died as detenu on June 23, 1953.

A veteran politician, he was respected by his friends and foes alike for his knowledge and forthrightness. He outshined all other Ministers in the cabinet except perhaps Pandit Nehru by his erudition and culture. India lost a great son at a very early stage of Independence
