“Humble tributes to Dr. Syama Prasad Mukherjee Ji on his Balidan Diwas.
Dr. Syama Prasad Mukherjee’s death anniversary, observed as Balidan Diwas on June 23, commemorates the tragic passing of the visionary nationalist and founder of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh (precursor to the BJP). He passed away on June 23, 1953, under mysterious circumstances while in detention in Jammu and Kashmir. He had entered the state to protest the contentious permit system and advocate for the complete integration of Jammu and Kashmir into the Indian Union. His powerful call, “Ek desh mein do vidhan, do pradhan, do nishan – nahi chalega!” (Two constitutions, two heads, two flags will not work!), laid the ideological groundwork for the eventual abrogation of Article 370. Served as India’s Minister for Industry and Supply in Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s cabinet before resigning in protest of the Liaquat-Nehru Pact. Became the youngest Vice-Chancellor of Calcutta University at the age of 33 in 1934. Across the country—from social media platforms like Facebook to national leaders—citizens pay their respects to his sacrifices for national unity and integrity.
