Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday said that anniversaries of great personalities should be commemorated by organising programmes based on their life and teachings in educational and other institutions so that youths could draw inspiration. "This way we can pay them tribute in a real manner," he said at a programme organised to commemorate the birth anniversary of Swami Dayanand Saraswati in Panchkula.
He said that Swami Dayanand was a multifaceted personality and had taken initiatives in the fields of religion, education, spirituality and women empowerment. "He had played a vital role in the freedom struggle of the country. Other great personalities like Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and Veer Savarkar had also acknowledged his contribution in awakening the flame of freedom among the people with their speeches," he said.
He said that great personalities hold a special significance in the society and their birth anniversaries are commemorated so that the young generation could take inspiration from their life.
