Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Minister of State in the PMO Jitendra Singh will pay tributes at the memorials of martyrs on August 21 as part of BJP's countrywide fortnight programme '70 Saal Azadi-Zara Yaad Karo Kurbani'.
"Arun Jaitley and Jitendra Singh will also come to Jammu on August 21 to visit the memorials of martyrs and pay tributes", BJP State President and MLA Sat Sharma told reporters here today.
BJP state president led the "Prabhat Pherri", which started from Ambphalla and culminated at Janipur after passing through New Plot, Pucca Talab, Sarwal, Vikas Nagar, Rehari and Patoli.
Sharma said the nation is completing 70 years of independence this month on August 15 and the party has decided to celebrate the event for 15 days from August 9 to 23, wherein different programmes will be organized with Prabhat Pherri to be led by local MLA, senior leaders and women workers to celebrate the Quit India Movement.

He further said that from August 10 to August 14 torch and national flag rallies will be organised by Yuva Morcha, while the Mahila Morcha shall organise a programme to tie the rakhi to the army jawans, including those posted on the borders.
The party workers will also reach out the families of martyrs and honour them.
Likewise, all the MPs will take up Tiranga Yatra on motorcycles and cycles with national flags from August 15 to 22 and other programmes shall also be organised.
The objective of organising different events under "Azaadi 70" is to make the young generations aware of the freedom struggle, the role of the great patriots and the responsibility on youth to contribute in inculcating patriotic and national feelings among the masses and pledge to meet the challenges posed against unity and integrity of the country, he said.
