While speaking on the occasion Balwant Singh Mankotia appreciated the efforts of the YRS to unite the Rajput community and promoting their cause. He said that collective efforts should be made to get the community united and prepare future plans for the welfare and development of the community in the state.
Ch. Lal Singh while criticizing the role of successive ruling parties in ignoring the role of Maharaja Hari Singh towards the welfare of the state said that it is highly discriminatory that the kashmiri dominated state govts used to observe death and birth anniversaries of so called kashmiri leaders with much fanfare and state holidays however the same treatment has been denied to the Maharaj Hari Singh as well as founder of the state Maharaja Gulab Singh only because the duo were hailing from Jammu. He urged upon the community members to get united as the time has come to snatch our due place and dignity which the Rajput community deserve since long.

Surinder Singh, State President YRS demanded the establishment of the Rajput Welfare Board on the pattern of other community welfare boards so that the Rajput community could be uplifted with special attention. He said that in other states the Rajput Welfare Boards are constituted by the respective govts and thus the same needs to be framed on priority in our state as well.
