The BJP’s principles of politics are based on these qualities of Dr. Mukherji.

Hailing the sacrifice of life made by Dr. Mukherji for the cause of national unity Sh. Ram Madhav said that Dr. Saheb was the first Indian leader to sacrifice his life to protect the territorial integrity of the India divided in 1947.

He said all his life Dr. Mukherji fought against communal appeasement. He believed in integration of minorities in the political process and we feel happy that today two states Punjab & Jammu & Kashmir where the minorties are the majority population have BJP Coalition Government’s.

Sh. Ram Madhav said that today Dr. Mukherji’s soul must be very happy to see BJP in power in Jammu & Kashmir. We have formed the government there to strengthen India’s sovereignty.

BJP’s intention to form government with PDP was inspired by Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherji’s act of helping formation of a similar government in Bengal with a basic minimum programme & intent to prevent partition of Bengal then.
