11 October 2020, Hazaribagh: The followers of Loknayak Jay Prakash Narayan have celebrated his 118^th birth anniversary at JP Memorial place near Gandhi Ashrama, Parnala (Kumhartoli) and paid him their rich tribute. They garlanded the photograph of JP and organized a meeting on this occasion.

Mr. Girija Satish (National President, Lok Samiti) headed the program and expressed deep concern over little or no knowledge upon great persons among new generation. He explained a short life history of JP and suggested for suitable modifications in school syllabus. Mr. Girija Satish said that political parties or governments support status quo but socio-political thinkers like Gandhi-Vinoba-JP bring changes. He appealed the people to get rid of social evils in the name of religion & tradition.

Mr. Swaroop Chand Jain described JP as a magnificent personality who led a life full of renunciation & austerity and he denied even PM’s post with courage. Mr. Satyendra Kumar was in favor of a people’s movement again against injustice & exploitation. Dr. Vishwanath Azad has remembered few memoirs of JP as the leader of Chhatra Yuva Sangharsh Vahini and said about the mass movement of 1974 in Bihar that made people aware in other parts of India too.

Also Mr. Krishna Ram, Mr. Shankar Rana, Mr. Rahul Kumar, Ms Sonali Prabha, Ms Pinki Kumari, Mr. Rohit Sony, Mr. Rahul Shekhar and Mr. Satyendra Sony were other speakers. At last all the participants have offered flowers to the statue of Mahatma Gandhi in the Ashrama.
