Harsh Sanghavi appeals to socially boycott children who send parents to old age homes

During the inauguration ceremony of Shri Bahuchar Patidar Wadi in Ranasan, Mehsana district, State Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi appealed to take a stern stance against children who send their parents to old age homes. According to a report by ABP Asmita, addressing the community, he stated that children who send their parents to old age homes should not be invited to any social occasion and no kind of relationship should be maintained with them.

Emphasising the matter on this occasion, Harsh Sanghavi said that to bring a large and positive change in society, it sometimes becomes very necessary to take strict rules and decisions at a social level. He stated that parents spend their entire lives performing hard labour and wearing out their footwear to raise their children. However, when the child grows up, moves to a city, and earns some money with the blessings of the Mother Goddess, they feel ashamed to live with their parents and send them to an old age home.

The Deputy Chief Minister added that when parents have raised children by working hard throughout their lives and those same children abandon them in old age, the society should unite and raise its voice against such a mentality. He called upon people not to invite such children to any village occasion. Sanghavi expressed confidence that if even two to five households can be reunited through such decisions, no religious deed could be greater than that.

Speaking at the felicitation ceremony of the donors of Shri Bahuchar Patidar Wadi, he described this new community hall as an important facility for social and family gatherings. He appealed to the community to maintain this hall for future generations, maintain cleanliness, and promote collective social welfare. Along with this, he emphasised the importance of showing respect and care towards elders.

Speaking about family relationships and values, Harsh Sanghavi noted the need to keep children away from excessive use of mobile phones. He emphasised increasing family connections, promoting traditional values, and involving children in social activities so that they become cultured.

Prior to this programme, Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi had visited Ghantakarn Mahavir Prabhu in Mahudi, Gandhinagar district. There, he extended New Year greetings to the devotees and local citizens who had arrived in Mahudi. He prayed for the increase in the happiness, peace, and prosperity of the state and for the lives of all citizens to be happy.
