I am happy that the workers of Bharat Tibbat Sahyog Manch are doing the work of public awareness with great enthusiasm.
Addressing the meeting, Dr Indresh Kumar said that China is such a country which has nothing to do with humanity. It keeps on giving tension to many countries of the world in some form or the other. Nothing can be expected of humanity from China. He further mentioned that from 5 May 2023, 25 years of the establishment of Bharat Tibbat Sahyog Manch are about to be completed, and from this day, the silver jubilee year of the forum will begin.
