Chandigarh (Haryana) [India], July 6 : Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar paid tribute to the founder of Bharatiya Jana Sangh Syama Prasad Mookerjee on his birth anniversary.

In his tweet, Haryana CM wrote, "Two constitutions, two leaders and two marks in one country - will not work, will not work," referring to Syama Prasad Mookerjee's vision on Kashmir.

Haryana CM wrote, "Humble salutations to Syama Prasad Mookerjee on his birth anniversary, who sacrificed his life to make Kashmir an integral part of India by giving this immortal slogan with the resolve to remove Article 370."

"The seed that he sowed in 1950 in the form of Bharatiya Jana Sangh, today it is firmly moving forward on the path of 'cultural nationalism and Antyodaya goal' by taking the form of a banyan tree in the form of Bharatiya Janata Party," he further added.

"The country will always be indebted to him!" he added.

Mookerjee, who was a politician, barrister and academician, served as the Minister for Industry and Supply in Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's cabinet.

Syama Prasad Mookerjee was the founder of Bharatiya Jana Sangh.

Bharatiya Jana Sangh, founded in 1951, is the ideological parent organisation of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

According to the BJP's official website, on the issue of the Delhi pact with Likayat Ali Khan, Mookerjee resigned from the Cabinet on April 6, 1950.

Later on October 21, 1951, Mookerjee founded Bharatiya Jana Sangh in Delhi and became its first President. Mookerjee went to visit Kashmir in 1953 and was arrested on May 11. He died as "detenu" on June 23, 1953.
