New Delhi :
Under the aegis of the All India Jaiswal Sarvavargiya Mahasabha and the Jaiswal Sarvavargiya Mahasabha Delhi-NCR, a grand Diwali Milan and Unity Celebration was organized at the residence of Hon’ble Shri Shripad Yesso Naik, Union Minister of State for Energy. The event was coordinated by Advocate Shailendra Jaiswal, President (Delhi-NCR) and National General Secretary of the Mahasabha.
The Chief Guest of the ceremony was Shri Ravindra Jaiswal, Minister of State (Independent Charge), Government of Uttar Pradesh. He inaugurated the event by worshiping the idol of Rajrajeshwar Sahasrarjun Bhagwan and lighting the ceremonial lamp. Participants from across the country lit diyas together, symbolizing unity, brotherhood, and social harmony.
The Chief Guest was accorded a grand welcome with a shawl, turban, floral garland, and a ceremonial sword—a symbol of valor. All dignitaries on the dais were also traditionally honored with shawls and turbans.
Chief Guest’s Address
In his keynote address, Shri Ravindra Jaiswal stated:
> “The community must unite at the national level—not only for its own upliftment but also to contribute actively to the progress of the nation. Every section of society should extend a helping hand to uplift those at the lower levels. Without unity, we cannot remain secure.”
He further proposed the construction of a community dharmashala (guesthouse) for the Jaiswal community in Delhi and appealed for the formation of a committee for the same—a suggestion that received a standing ovation from the gathering.

The event was presided over by National Patron Shri Ashok Jaiswal, who said that the greatest strength of any community lies in its organization, and it must be further strengthened at every level.
From Tamil Nadu, Shri Atal Kumar Gupta highlighted the importance of collective action during elections, particularly in Bihar, urging that the community should unite to ensure the victory of its own capable candidates.
In his address, Advocate Shailendra Jaiswal, National General Secretary, asserted:
> “Active participation of our community in politics is essential. All political parties should provide tickets to our capable representatives, and our people must stand united to ensure their victory. Our motto remains — ‘If we stay united, we stay secure.’”
