राज्य ब्यूरो, पटना। पूर्णिया सांसद राजेश रंजन उर्फ पप्पू यादव ने गुरुवार को पार्टी नेताओं-कार्यकर्ताओं के साथ पटना में होली मिलन का आयोजन किया और इस दौरान फूल और रंग-गुलाल के साथ होली खेली गई। पप्पू यादव ने पार्टी कार्यकर्ताओं को टीका लगाकर पर्व के मौके पर हर धर्म के लोगों के बीच सद्भाव बचाए रखने की अपील की।

गंगा-जमुनी तहजीब वाली संस्कृति

यूपी-बिहार सहित कई राज्यों में होली-जुमा विवाद को लेकर सांसद ने कहा कि भाजपा के एजेंडे में फंसने से बचें। हमारे देश की संस्कृति गंगा-जमुनी तहजीब वाली है। ऐसे में सांप्रदायिक सोच कभी हावी नहीं होने दी जाएगी। होली और रमजान दोनों प्रेम और शांति से मनाएंगे। होली सभी बिहारवासियों के जीवन में खुशी लेकर आए।

बीजेपी नेताओं पर साधा निशाना

होली मिलन के बाद आयोजित संवाददाता सम्मेलन में पप्पू यादव ने कहा कि आज लोग अनर्गल बयान दे रहे हैं ताकि माहौल खराब किया जा सके। उन्होंने चेतावनी देते हुए कहा कि सभी दल अपने अनर्गल बयान देने वाले नेताओं पर रोक लगाएं।

अन्यथा जनता के इलाज को तैयार रहें। पप्पू यादव ने कहा कि भाजपा ऐसा माहौल बनाने के लिए एजेंडे पर कुछ ऐसे नेताओं को तैयार करती है, ताकि वह सांप्रदायिकता फैलाने पर काम कर सके।

बिहार के युवा नेताओं से जताई उम्मीद

• पप्पू यादव ने कहा कि बिहार चिराग पासवान, कन्हैया कुमार, तेजस्वी यादव जैसे युवाओं की तरफ आशावादी नजर से देख रहा है।
• पप्पू यादव द्वारा आयोजित होली मिलन समारोह में प्रेम चंद सिंह, राघवेंद्र कुशवाहा, राजेश पप्पू, राजू दानवीर ,हीरेंद्र तिवारी, मनीष, नीतीश सहित अन्य पार्टी नेता उपस्थित रहे।

विधानसभा अध्यक्ष ने दी होली की शुभकामनाएं

विधानसभा अध्यक्ष नंद किशोर यादव ने देश-प्रदेश के लोगों को होली की शुभकामनाएं देते हुए कहा कि होली आपसी सद्भाव और प्रेम का पर्व है। इस दिन लोग गिले-शिकवे को भूलकर गले मिलते हैं। आपसी संबंधों में स्नेह, सम्मान और प्यार का संचार होता है।

होली रंग और उमंग का त्योहार है। यह हिंदू धर्म संस्कृति को चटख रंगों के साथ नूतन रूप-स्वरूप प्रदान करता है। यह समरसता का प्रतीक है। यह असत्य पर सत्य का और बुराई पर अच्छाई की जीत का पर्व है।

भाईचारा ही होली का मूल मंत्र

समरसता और सद्भाव के इस पावन पर्व पर इस बात का हमेशा ध्यान रखना चाहिए कि ऐसा कुछ न करें, जिससे दूसरों को कष्ट हो। किसी की भावना का ठेस लगे। प्रेम और भाईचारा ही होली का मूल मंत्र है। कृत्रिम गुलाल की जगह लोगों को प्रेम और श्रद्धा के रंग और गुलाल से सराबोर करें।
