After the female firefighters of Jaipur, Lady Sarpanch of Udaipur, Female hockey players of Shahbad and many more the angels head to Amritsar. With a heart full of gratitude, they visit the Golden Temple to thank the almighty for a fulfilling journey behind them. They also meet the women police force stationed in Amritsar and needless to mention were absolutely stunned by their sense of duty and determination. They even try a hand at horse riding as they take tour of academy. 

As they say save the best for the end, the angels had similar plans. Right after this they drive down to the iconic India Pak Wagah Border. As they reached, not only they were ecstatic but also it made the angels emotional to some extent. They also got the chance to witness a grand ceremony between the Indian and Pakistani soldiers. The sight of them performing at the border was not only full of grandeur but also filled the girls bubbling with patriotism. The feeling one experiences when the air is echoing with ‘Bharat mata ki jai’ and energetic soldiers performing at the border is beyond words and that is exactly what the angels went through when they were present at Wagah Border.

Commenting on this, Shalmali Kholgade said that our journey was coming to an end and we were getting emotional thinking about it. Our visit to the Wagah Border was a mix of emotions for her. There was an undoubted feeling of patriotism as we found ourselves amidst a vibrant crowd cheering for both India and Pakistan. But she was also overcome with a feeling of anger seeing as the soldiers who protect our country were a sort of "entertainment" to the public by way of the parade. Then again, she is too emotional and make a mountain out of a mole hill at times.

By Tricitynews Reporter

Ralegan Siddhi/New Dehli 22^nd September:- A newly formed political party- National Freedom Party (NFP), being spearheaded by New Delhi-based social organization Vivekananda Foundation, today got blessings of great social activist and crusader Anna Hazare. The Foundation’s Managing Trustee Amlan Biswas called on Hazare at his village Ralegan Siddhi today to seek his blessings and support for the new political party. The NFP is all set to bring in big and revolutionary changes in political landscape of the country. The party will take on all big ones in Assembly elections in coming two years and then go for general elections in 2019.

In a statement issued here after the meeting, Amlan Biswas said that the Foundation is fighting against corruption and other social ills in society. We follow noble principles of Swami Vivekananda and Mahatama Gandhi. Hazare sahab is our living guiding force. He added that that is why, before formally launching the party on October 1, we met him to seek his blessing and support. We ask him to join our party,but  as he is against the present party system, so politely declined.

He further said that however, Hazare sahab assured us to give full support and said ‘India against Corruption’ will certainly work hand-in-hand with Foundation & NFP. We are highly motivated with this meeting and assured guidance & support from him.

As Anna Hazare wants to do away with disturbing distance between Sansad (Parliatment) and Samaj( Society), the NFP would also struggle achieve this goal.

Amlan Biswas said that we are ready and the party will formally be launched on the eve of Gandhi Jayanti –October 1. We will declare our national and states executive committees along with complete roadmap on that auspicious day.

The Party, with its aim to provide a viable alternative to distraught youth and masses, will contest all Assembly seats of its own in states like Punjab, Goa, Gujarat and Tripura.

The Foundation is spearheading this political movement with the help of its youth cadre, intellectuals and support of those who seek real change in the system. The Mission is to mobilize youth of the country to join this movement which seeks to reform the system. The party, with support of the foundation, enjoys huge support base in many parts of the country. Leaders and members of the Party will continue to put their efforts to make India a nation as dreamed by our freedom fighters and martyrs Ram Prasad Bismil, Chandra Shekhar Azad and Shaheed Bhagat Singh. With these names, name of the party has been perfectly aligned. The party is dedicated to build a society free from corruption, poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, casteism, communalism and regional biases.
