While addressing party workers, Lather emphasised his commitment to strengthening the party organisation by working in accordance with the ‘Sewa Hi Sangathan’ (service is organisation) principle. “The faith that the state leadership and party workers have shown in me is a huge responsibility. I will try my best to meet their expectations by ensuring unity and collective progress,” he said.

Lather highlighted his experience at various organisational levels and recalled his active involvement during the COVID-19 pandemic, serving people while adhering to the party's guiding principle of service.

Lather is a hardworking and committed leader who will undoubtedly take the party forward in Karnal,” he said.
