Thanking Haryana Chief Minister, Mr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda for inviting her to deliver Third Ch. Ranbir Singh Memorial lecture, Mrs. Kumar said that Mr. Ranbir Singh was a man of values. He had full faith in the ideals of truth, love and non-violence as propagated by Gandhiji. Just at the age of 15 years, he jumped into the freedom struggle on the call of Mahatma Gandhi. He went to jail and was the last person to be released from the jail, after India had got freedom. Soon after, he was made member of the Constituent Assembly where he played an important role. |

Paying her tributes to Ch. Ranbir Singh Hooda, Mrs. Kumar said that in December 1985, when she went to Parliament for the first time as M.P., Ch. Ranbir Singh blessed her by placing his hand over her head. It was his hand of blessing that has guided my way to success and like Mr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda, I also revere him as a fatherly figure. She reiterated that society has become a victim of conflicts and these can pose serious problems before a nation that is still on the path of development. It is time we realised the importance and relevance of the message of the Bhagvadgita, which can help solve several problems confronting society. |
