One day early in the morning Mr. Narendra Arora, a resident of Karnal district of Haryana province, was reading the newspaper. Suddenly his eyes fell on the news which was published in detail about the pathetic condition of the statues of revolutionaries, and how the statues of martyrs have become like orphaned children. As soon as you read this news, your heart and mind became numb and started thinking that this is the condition of the martyrs, about whom I used to read a lot since childhood. For many days the same news used to play in my mind like a movie, always while sleeping. The mind was always worried about what to do, in this confusion, other works also started getting affected. Now, wherever Shri Narendra ji used to walk in the streets, intersections, parks, wherever the statues of great men were seen, he used to feel as if those statues are being deceived in the name of freedom, development, democracy, governance and administration, they are being ridiculed. Now and then, when he used to see the cleanliness of those idols, he would get upset seeing this gimmicky act. This pain of Narendra Arora ji was increasing instead of decreasing. You have started maintenance and cleanliness of the statues of revolutionaries on a personal level. In the beginning, Narendra Arora ji used to go to the idols installed at different places and clean them, gradually it became an essential part of his lifestyle. In the beginning, people did not take Shri Narendra Arora’s work seriously, some people did not hesitate even to make fun of him, but you remained a brave son. You are the true sons of Mother India. Now you had started walking on your path, like a Samaras Saint. Beyond derision, there was no selfishness, no desire, the only desire was that the memories of the great freedom fighters should be cherished in every heart and the statues kept in their memory should be raised in a better way. After some time you thought of adopting an organizational method for this work and in the year 2003 established a committee named Pratima Raksha Samman Samiti, you are its founder and president. With the establishment of this committee, now your work has gained momentum. Slowly people also started taking your work seriously. Now whoever sees, one gets compelled to think that a young man has left his business and is engaged in this work, then something is different from all of us, otherwise in today’s era of selfishness and selfishness, man is busy in glorifying himself. Gradually other people also started coming forward to support you in this work. You all are warmly welcomed. In this way gradually a small team started forming, and now you started thinking of increasing your work from small scale to large scale.
When people’s support for this holy work of yours started, it kept on increasing, yes even a drop of a small stream of government aid was probably not considered capable of this work. Mr Narendra Arora ji did not limit his work to the cleanliness of the statues of the martyrs, now he has done the pious work of taking it to a more sacred form. You also tried to take care of the families of the martyrs. In the name of the martyrs, various welfare schemes are run by the administration, and a budget of crores of rupees is also spent, but no one’s attention is drawn to the care of the families of the martyrs. Today, the relatives of many martyrs are living in very shabby economic conditions. No one can see the pathetic condition of the families of the martyrs in whose name the administration spends a huge amount of money to celebrate their birth anniversaries. Shri Narendra Arora ji started the very pious task of honouring the families of these martyrs by inviting them on his own instead of crying out to anyone. You have established a powerful organization called Anti Corruption Foundation, now you have taken up the task of cleaning and protecting the statues of martyrs spread across the country, not only at the local level. Anti Corruption Foundation not only does this work but also honours the talents engaged in the upliftment of society in the whole world by organizing a program in a dignified manner every year. Today, people belonging to every community and profession feel proud to associate themselves with this pious work. All this has been possible only because of the magical personality and tyagi great man named Shri Narendra Arora. Mr Narendra Arora’s extraordinary dedication is the result of the true feeling that you have so far honoured not 100-200 but more than 5000 such persons whose links of morality, humanity and truth are still present in their social concerns and works. You not only took care of those people whose forefathers got hanged laughingly. And there is no one to take care of their family members, but those family members were made to realize that our brave sons may be forgotten even if the big pontiffs sitting in power forget them. But the echo of great men including Sardar Bhagat Singh, Udham Singh, Khudiram Bose, Chandrashekhar Azad, Yatindra Nath, and Durga Bhabhi is still heard in the heartbeats of the people of the country.
