Dehradun, Nov 4 (NationPress) The halls of the Uttarakhand Vidhan Sabha resonated with applause on Tuesday as this hill state made history during its silver jubilee special session.

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami took the floor to deliver a speech that officially acknowledged the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's century-long commitment to the nation, marking the Assembly as the first constitutional body in India to do so.

Standing in front of a portrait of Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who created Uttarakhand from Uttar Pradesh exactly twenty-five years ago, CM Dhami stated, “Through its century of dedication, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has unleashed a divine wave of cultural revival, social unity, self-esteem, and patriotic service across India.”

“It has sparked the eternal flame of national awareness in every corner of the nation.”

The assembly, filled with legislators, responded with applause. Dhami painted a vivid image of an India that once suffered from a colonial mindset, now proud of its cultural heritage, scientific advancement, and ancient traditions.

“This self-esteem is the outcome of the Sangh’s century-long discipline,” he remarked, crediting the organization for eliminating the remnants of colonial inferiority from the national consciousness.

He reminded the assembly of how Devbhoomi has endured challenges in its twenty-five-year journey yet continues to progress with unwavering determination.

“With your support, Uttarakhand will soon emerge as the finest state in India,” he vowed, receiving cheers from the treasury benches.

As the clock struck four, the Chief Minister’s tone turned lyrical.

He recited verses from a beloved Shakha song: “Yeh uthal-puthal uchhal lehar, path se na digane paayegi, patwaar chalaate jaayenge, manzil aayegi, aayegi” (This turmoil and surge won’t divert us from our path; we’ll continue steering the boat, and our destination will arrive).

The opposition, typically quick to interrupt, remained in unusual silence, the words lingering like incense in the cool winter air.

Speaker Ritu Khanduri Bhushan then called for a voice vote on the motion. “All in favor?” A deafening “Aye” echoed through the hall.

The resolution was unanimously approved, engraving the tribute to the RSS into the official records of India’s youngest hill state.

Outside, schoolchildren waved tricolors as veterans from the 1994 statehood movement wiped away tears.

Inside, a century of silent nation-building received its loudest constitutional acknowledgment.
