Later he was called for his duties in BSF. In the words of Dr B.B.Sharma “real bravery is the supreme sacrifice of the life” according to him we consider our self so great when we work late hours or work hard for our college and office life, but real bravery is giving up your life for your country without thinking twice. In all the year of being the principal of this college, it was the first time govt started this scheme,Which is a great way to remember our Martyrs, for their supreme sacrifice.The only reason we feel safe in our country is thanks to police of India, BSF,Army, Navy and Airforce. The reason peace has prevailed in the country is because of them. Later Principal Dr B.B.Sharma thanked parents of Mohinder Raj and BSF team and asked for two minute silence in the memory of our Martyr.
While answering the question about the decrease in level of patriotism in our country Sh Mohan Lal(Father of Mohinder Lal) said” I won’t say it has decreased but certain factors are playing major role in bringing the bad consequence like low pay grade, less media focus, difference between Army and BSF. But still level of patriotism is touching the sky in our country”. In the end Sh Mohan Lal ji gave an inspirational message to the youth that his main concern is on the vivid increase in use of drugs, until or unless their is no stopping of drug abuse, our country won’t grow. Students must realise that only way to make your life better is to focus on their studies and make better out of themselves. One must always contribute to our country in way or another.
