Maharashtra : HJS’ Respect National Flag campaign continues

Nation, Dharma and culture is preserved due to HJS’ efforts ! – Tehsildar Nandkumar Bhoite

Tehsildar appreciates HJS activities

Phaltan (Dist. Satara) : All activities undertaken by Hindu Janajagruti Samiti are very good. Present generation has got independence on platter; therefore, they don’t realize its value. Activities undertaken by Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) related to nation and Dharma are commendable. In fact, people should join such activities in large number; but it is not happening. People are ready to come in large number only when they are sure of getting something from the Government in their personal interest. People were good during the era of Mahabharata; therefore, our nation, Dharma and culture was preserved. HJS is also similar; although they are few in number, our culture has been preserved owing to them. My best wishes to HJS activities ! The above views were expressed by Shri. Nandkumar Bhoite, the acting Tehsildar as he accepted the representation in the absence of Tehsildar Shri. Vijay Patil. HJS demanded to prevent abuse of national flags on the occasion of 26th January. HJS members viz. Shri. Ashish Kapase, Shri. Mangesh Khandare, Shri. Abhijit Kapase, Shri. Pradip Jadhav, Shri. Sandip Kashid, Sou. Manisha Bobade and Smt. Doiphode were present on the occasion.
