Ludhiana, October 20, 2026: Former Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) president and Ludhiana MP Amarinder Singh Raja Warring attended the historic Dusserha celebrations at the Daresi Ground, here today. On this occasion, he performed the traditional ‘Jhanda Rasam’ (Flag Ceremony) and congratulated everyone.
In his brief address, Warring said, “People across the country and around the world celebrate this auspicious occasion as it symbolizes the triumph of good over evil.” He added, “Ravana was a great scholar but his arrogance led to his downfall. Ego has the power to destroy anyone. Therefore, one should always remain humble and never allow pride to overshadow wisdom and humanity.”
Warring said, “On this auspicious occasion, I would like to convey a message that we must unite to fight all forms of evil and work towards spreading awareness against social ills, while guiding society in the right direction,” while extending his heartfelt greetings to all.
Meanwhile, Warring urged the Deputy Commissioner to allow people to celebrate the festival without unnecessary restrictions, pointing out that shops across the venue area had been shut down. “People must be allowed to celebrate the festival. Regardless of whether any VIP is visiting, here should be no restrictions and people must be allowed to participate in the festivities with full enthusiasm,” he asserted.
Warring also applauded the Shri Ram Leela Committee (Regd.) for managing the occasion excellently. The Committee honoured Warring with a shawl and a Trophy (token of memento). On behalf of the Shri Ram Leela Committee, President Dinesh Marwaha honoured everyone. Those felicitated include former PPCC President and Ludhiana MP Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, former MLA Sanjay Talwar, former PPCC General Secretary Pawan Dewan, former MLAs Simranjit Singh Bains and Surinder Dawar, Happy Lali and Manraj Thakral.
