Vijay Darda stresses during Nagpur Durga Utsav inauguration

 

Lord Krishna is the one who weaved the whole nation into the thread of unity, equality, and brotherhood, said chairman of Editorial Board of Lokmat Media and former member of Rajya Sabha Vijay Darda.

He was addressing the inauguration of Nagpur Durga Utsav 2022 on Friday. To mark the occasion, a Dahi Handi Utsav was also organised by Rani Laxmibai Durga Utsav Mandal at Volley Wall Ground in Laxmi Nagar. The bhoomipujan of Nagpur Durga Utsav 2022 was also performed.

Darda said that Krishna does not belong to any one religion. He belongs to all sects and cults. He belongs to the entire nation. His personality is reflected in the spiritual, cultural, and material progress of the country, he said.

“When we were young, we used to participate in Dahi Handi festival with great zeal. It fills minds and hearts with energy even today,” he said adding that the Dahi Handi festival organised by the Rani Laxmibai Durga Utsav Mandal symbolises this energy.
