"We respectfully extend our best wishes to Pujya Govind Dev Giri Ji Maharaj as he assumes the responsibility of General Secretary. We are confident that his leadership will serve as a guiding light for us all," he said.
Kumar also welcomed the appointment of Shri Mahesh Bhagchandka Ji as a Trustee and Treasurer of the Trust.
He said Bhagchandka had been a frontline soldier of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi movement and had subsequently continued advancing the mission of Pujya Ashok Singhal Ji and the cause of Hindutva through the Shri Ashok Singhal Foundation.
"His appointment as a Trustee and the Treasurer of the Trust will be highly beneficial for the organisation," Kumar said.
