Pawan Kalyan participates in 'Sena Prasthanam for National Integrity', calls to 'discourage divisiveness'
New Delhi, June 15
Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan on Monday arrived in the national capital to participate in the 'Sena Prasthanam for National Integrity' programme, asserting that strengthening national unity and discouraging divisive forces remain central to his party's ideology.
Speaking to reporters, Kalyan said, "Janasena's commitment is that any kind of divisiveness should be discouraged. National integrity has to be strengthened. This was the main agenda today."
As part of the programme, Kalyan visited the National War Memorial in New Delhi, where he paid tribute to the personnel of the Armed Forces who laid down their lives in the service of the nation.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, the Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister said, "As part of Sena Prasthan - For the National Integrity (Sena Prasthanam - Desha Samagratha Kosam), I stood at the National War Memorial with profound humility and reverence, paying tribute to the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of Bharat."
He said that every name inscribed at the memorial symbolised extraordinary courage, selfless devotion and an unwavering commitment to the country.
"Their sacrifice has safeguarded our freedom, protected our sovereignty, and strengthened the unity and integrity of India," Kalyan stated.
Reflecting on his visit to the memorial, Kalyan said it served as a reminder that the nation's strength stems not only from its achievements but also from the sacrifices of those who placed national duty above personal interests.
"Standing before that sacred memorial, I was reminded that the strength of Bharat lies not only in its achievements, but also in the valour of those who placed the nation above self and duty above all else," he said.
Expressing gratitude to the fallen heroes, Kalyan added, "With deep gratitude, I bowed to our fallen heroes and drew inspiration from their legacy. May their courage continue to guide us, their sacrifice continue to unite us, and their spirit continue to strengthen our resolve to build a strong, secure, and united Bharat."

Honestly, while the sentiment is nice, I wish leaders would focus more on actual policy work rather than just photo ops and speeches. We need less talk about unity and more action on the ground - like better infrastructure, education, and healthcare that actually brings people together. Still, respect for paying tribute to our fallen heroes 🙏
Pawan Kalyan is doing what many politicians should do - remembering our real heroes, the soldiers who gave their lives for this country. His message against divisiveness is timely. We're seeing too much hatred spread on social media and in politics. National integrity should always come first, no matter which party you support. Well said, sir! 💪
As an outsider looking in, it's inspiring to see Indian politicians from different parties emphasizing national unity. This kind of bipartisan approach to patriotism is something many countries could learn from. The respect shown at the War Memorial is genuinely moving.
While I appreciate the gesture, I hope this isn't just political posturing before elections. Pawan Kalyan has taken strong positions against some policies in the past. Let's see if he can actually unite people across party lines, not just within his own supporters. Actions speak louder than words, yaar.
Very proud moment for Andhra Pradesh! Pawan Kalyan representing our state at the National War Memorial and speaking about national integrity is commendable. We need more leaders who remember that India's strength comes from unity in diversity. His call to discourage divisiveness is what every citizen should support. Well done, sir! 🙏
