BJP has demanded
the Chief Minister that she should declare the most important festival of 40
lakh Poorvanchalis Chhath festival on 2nd November, 2011 as public holiday so
that they may celebrate this festival with full dedication and enthusiasm.
In a Press Conference at the Pradesh
Headquarters, BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta has demanded that
arrangements should be made for additional water to be released in yamuna for
the Chhath worshippers at Wazirabad Ghat.
On this occasion all the roads leading to the banks of yamuna river in
Delhi should be made safe for the pedestrians.
Free parking and free health services should also be provided by
organising camps at all the Chhath Ghats.
BJP had demanded public holiday on the
Chhath festival last year also, but the Congress Government did not respect the
emotional of the Poorvanchalis and they had to celebrate their festival without
any leave for it. Hence this year BJP
Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta has in his letter to the Chief
Minister again demanded that Delhi Government should declare holiday on the
occasion of Chhath festival.
The Co-Incharge of Delhi Pradesh and
Legislator from Bihar Shri Rameshwar Chaurasia, Pradesh Vice President Mrs.
Poonam Azad, Poorvanchal Cell Incharge Dr. S.C.L. Gupta and President of the
Poorvanchal Cell Shri Abhey Verma were present in the Press Conference. Shri Rameshwar Chaurasia informed the press
persons that as Durga Pooja in Bengal and Dussehra and Ramlila in Delhi are
important for the people the same way Chhath festival is the most important
festival in entire Bihar Jharkhand and neighbouring areas and also in Delhi.
A
delegation of BJP will meet the Chief Minister of Delhi and Mayor and demand
for declaring holiday on Chhath festival every year and will submit a demand
letter for providing facilities to the Chhath worshippers (Annexed). This festival of sun worships is observed
for the happiness, peace and prosperity of the family, society, country and the
world. This is a very difficult kind of
worship because the worshippers fast for the day and night and pray standing in
rivers and other water bodies and also sing devotional songs the whole
night. This fasting is ended after
paying obeisance to the Sun God in the morning.
Following are the demands of
the BJP from Delhi Government for providing facilities for the Chhath
worshippers :-
