New Delhi, June 25 (SocialNews.XYZ) Bharatiya Janata Party National President Nitin Nabin on Thursday expressed condolences on the demise of Naresh Chaudhary Chahal, father of Rohit Chahal, National General Secretary of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, and elder brother of NDMC Vice Chairperson Kuljeet Singh Chahal.
Nabin visited Naresh Chaudhary Chahal's residence and offered his condolences to the bereaved family.
Paying tribute to the departed soul, he said that Naresh Chaudhary Chahal had earned a distinct identity in society through his simplicity and valuable contributions. His demise is a deep loss to the BJP family.
Naresh Chaudhary Chahal died of a heart attack in Vrindavan at the age of 62 on June 18. His last rites were performed at the Nigam Bodh Ghat in Delhi on June 19.
Earlier in the day, Nabin said that for decades, attempts were made to erase the dark chapter of the Emergency from the nation's collective memory.
He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, justice has been done to history by deciding to observe June 25 as 'Samvidhan Hatya Diwas’.
Taking to social media platform X with the hashtag #SamvidhanHatyaDiwas, Nabin said the observance serves as a reminder of the events that unfolded during the Emergency and reinforces the country's commitment to protecting democratic values.
"On June 12, 1975, the Allahabad High Court declared the election of then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi null and void. Following this, priority was given to retaining power rather than the national interest. To save the position of one individual, the freedom of the entire nation was held hostage, and an attempt was made to crush the constitutional values and democratic principles established by Babasaheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar," he said.
Nabin further claimed that many leaders and activists who raised their voices in defence of democracy were arrested during the period.
"A large number of leaders and activists who raised their voices for democracy were arrested. Thousands of 'Democracy Warriors', including Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and L.K. Advani, were thrown into prison," he said.
