1857 Revolution hero
Honour sought for Raja Nahar Singh
Faridabad, January 15
The demand to accord more honour to the local hero of 1857 Revolution, Raja Nahar Singh, the erstwhile king of Ballabgarh, which is now part of Faridabad distirct, gained momentum with senior leaders of the Congress coming out in support of it.
Speaking at a function held here on the 151st martyrdom day of the hero, several speakers underlined the need to propagate the values held by him.
Raja Nahar Singh was executed along with his four associates by British rulers for indulging in activities against them. All five were hanged to death at Chandni Chowk in Delhi on January 9, 1857.
Organising secretary of the state Congress Satbir Daggar demanded that the palace of the Raja in Ballabgarh, which had been converted into a restaurant-cum-bar by the Haryana Tourism, should be converted into a museum to propagate his ideology. He lamented that activities that were alien to the consciousness of the Raja were taking place in the restaurant.
Daggar and others also demanded that a statue of the Raja should be installed at the main entrance of Ballabgarh town as the Raja and his contribution to the freedom struggle had historical value and were part of national heritage.
They also demanded to add the word “Raja” to Nahar Singh Stadium, which was set up in Ballabgarh in the mid eighties and named after the hero. Besides, they also sought that a statue of the Raja should be installed in the stadium.
There were allegations that Congress MP from Faridabad Avtar Singh Bhadana had been trying to popularise his father whose name was also Nahar Singh through the stadium.
Bhadana, however, said although the general perception was that the stadium was named after his father, he wanted that the word Raja should be added to the name to emphasise the fact that it was named after the hero.
President of the Jat Samaj JPS Sangwan said Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda belonged to a freedom fighter family and he hoped that the CM would give consideration to the long-pending demands of the local people. President of the Faridabad unit of the Congress BR Ojha said they would take up the matter with the Chief Minister.
