Jammu, October 16:

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s unit in Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh will celebrate “Accession Day” of the state with the Union of India on October 26, the party’s state general secretary Ashok Kaul said.

Addressing the meeting, Kaul, said on October 26, 1947, Maharaja Hari Singh, the ruler of Jammu and Kashmir then, signed the instrument of accession of J&K with the Union of India, and as such this day forms a very important landmark in the history.

“The historic day forms an essential part of our lives and every resident of the state must celebrate it,” he said.
