Hamirpur, Oct 18 More than 200 young women participated in a programme organised by the women wing of Vishva Hindu Parishad’s in Himachal Pradesh’s Hamirpur on Durga Ashtami, where speakers called for strengthening family values, empowering daughters and building an alert and educated society.
The programme, organised by Durga Vahini in Didwin town on Sunday, was held under the banner of Shakti Sanchalan. Participants pledged to build a strong, vigilant and literate society and make society free of jihad.
Neelam Nanda, district intellectual chief of the Rashtriya Sevika Samiti, was the keynote speaker at the event. She urged young people to take a leading role in society, alleging that conspirators were attempting to disrupt Hindu society from all sides and that the country’s youth were their target.
Nanda said various forms of jihad were being carried out against Sanatan society and described “love jihad” targeting young women as a major challenge and a conspiracy. She called upon the youth to help create an alert, literate and capable society.
She also urged parents to provide their children with good values and education to make them patriotic and religious.
Nanda called upon young women to join organisations such as Durga Vahini and the Rashtriya Sevika Samiti.
Chetna Sharma, head of the Hamirpur-based Pehchan organisation, thanked the Durga Vahini Aayam workers for successfully organising the programme.
Sharma said society needed organisations that could fight various social evils and added that Durga Vahini was working to inculcate values in society.
Describing the family as the first school of values, she said society would become cultured if families nurtured the right values. She added that empowering daughters within families could help strengthen society.
