The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi paid tributes to Pujya Sant Shri Sewalal Maharaj Ji on his birth anniversary.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“पूज्य संत श्री सेवालाल महाराज जी की जयंती पर उन्हें मेरा शत-शत नमन! उन्होंने अपना पूरा जीवन गरीबों और वंचितों के कल्याण के लिए समर्पित कर दिया। अपनी पूरी क्षमता के साथ उन्होंने निरंतर सामाजिक अन्याय के खिलाफ लड़ाई लड़ी। समानता, सद्भावना, भक्ति और निस्वार्थ सेवा के मूल्यों के प्रति भी महाराज जी का सदैव समर्पण रहा। उनके संदेशों ने समाज की हर पीढ़ी को संवेदनशील और करुणामयी जीवन के लिए प्रेरित किया है। उनके सद्विचार एक न्यायप्रिय, सौहार्दपूर्ण और मानवता की सेवा में समर्पित समाज के निर्माण के लिए सदैव मार्गदर्शन देते रहेंगे।

जय सेवालाल!”
