CELEBRATION OF BABA JANG ON HIS REAL BIRTHDAY
Though I know a book is being written on you, which will provide details on your legendary life, I felt duty - bound , as one of your sons to publicly state your real birthday which is today .
You were born exactly 75 years ago on the 15 th of March, 1946. The official date of 13 th March , 1944 was based on the information supplied by your elder brother, Da Pam Jang who took over the responsibility of fathering you after your Dad’s death in 1956.
However, a few years ago precisely in 2015, the then SUBEB Chairman, Late Dr Lyop Mang brought your Primary School Certificate to you. That Certificate has has your Date of birth of 15-03-1946 which was the date given by your Dad who took you to school and got you enrolled.
In spite of loosing your Dad at that humble age and your humble background , God has so blessed you that today, you are one of the respected statesmen in the Country.
Years after leaving public Office, you are still a crowd - puller to confirm your charisma and popularity .A bold and patriotic leader , your position on public issues is within the public domain as you always speak for the people on critical issues , never shying away by playing safe .
Age has not dimmed your clear vision on national issues. It has not weakened your resolve. It has not diminished your faith . You still have confidence in the younger ones many of whom you mentored including my humble self.
I can only offer prayers on this day for the Almighty to bless you with good health and longevity. Thank you for all the good things you have done for me . Happy birthday Sir, and age gracefully .
