Opposition’s Test
The latest gathering of opposition parties in New Delhi offered a reminder that the central challenge before India's non-BJP political forces is no longer one of arithmetic. It is one of credibility.
The Rajasthan unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has decided to observe August 14 as Partition Horrors Remembrance Day (Vibhajan Vibhishika Smriti Divas) to commemorate the tragic consequences of the Partition of India, state party president Madan Rathore announced.
Rathore said that the Partition, which came into effect on August 14, 1947, brought immense trauma and suffering to countless citizens, displacing lakhs of people.

“Many citizens lost everything they had and were forced to live as refugees. Numerous people even lost their lives in the violent clashes that followed the Partition,” he stated.

“By remembering the suffering and sacrifices of countless Indians, we will pay heartfelt tributes to all those patriots and reaffirm our commitment to safeguarding national unity, integrity, and strengthening communal harmony and brotherhood,” said Rathore, a sitting Rajya Sabha MP.
He added that on the following day, Independence Day (August 15), BJP workers will strive to distribute the national flag to every household so that all families can hoist the tricolour, contributing to the success of the “Har Ghar Tiranga” campaign.
“Our workers will reach out to people from all communities and backgrounds, irrespective of their faith, ideology, or political affiliation, to distribute the flag and encourage everyone to hoist the tricolour, rising above party lines,” the BJP state president said.
