"Honorable Mayor, Sir
With your kind permission I move the following resolution in the house and hope that all honourable members of this house would support the cause forgetting their party affiliation.
" As all of us are aware that there is long pending demand of nationalist people of Jammu including the family members of Late Maharaja Hari Singh ji, former ruler of the state to declare 23rd September as State Holiday in J & K.
I am sure none of us sitting in this August house or outside can forget the brave role of Late Maharaja Hari Singh ji in unification of this state with union of India despite the fact that many forces external as well as internal were against his decision to join Indian union.
Late Maharaja was a progressive and visionary ruler who had enacted several landmark public welfare laws that brought significant changes in lives of people of his State.
Declaring 23rd Septmeber as State Holiday would be a tribute to the great noble Soul.
Let this resolution be passed in the house requesting the government to declare 23rd September, the Birthday of Maharaja as State Holiday.

Maharaja Hari Singh’s Grandson and Congress Leader Vikramadiya Singh also welcomed this resolution.
