Thanks for the replies.
I was successful in sending an mouse press event to the widget.
But I have noticed only the GDK_BUTTON_PRESS is sent to the button.
And GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE is not sent at all.So as of now the button 
is just getting depressed and is not released,so now how can I make 
the release action to occur?
I have already tried sending the GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE event immediately 
after the PRESS event,like this:
                        gtk_widget_event(GTK_WIDGET(gPage),&eButtonPress);
                        gtk_widget_event(GTK_WIDGET(gPage),&eButtonRelease);
But the release event is getting lost somewhere!!!
Also I have even tried using gtk_main_do_event.
