NAGROTA, Nov 14: Provincial President National Conference Devender Singh Rana today emphasised the significant role of opinion makers in building a harmonious society by preserving and strengthening its time-tested characteristics of amity, tranquillity and brotherhood.
He was addressing a gathering after launching macadamization of roads in Nagrota constituency.
The Provincial President lauded the role of civil society and men of letters in their respective fields for their role in acting as the guardians of the “Idea of India”, saying this reflects the societal urge to make this world a better place to live in. Such an idealistic set up is difficult to be created and sustained if hate and myopic tendencies take over the great values and spirit of tolerance, he added.
He said the proponents of trifurcation of the state are the enemies of the state, its people and the country. They need to be identified and isolated because trifurcation will sow the seeds of mistrust, hatred and disillusionment which will lead to a disenchantment which could lead to a direct challenge to the very “idea of a Great Country India”.
He exhorted the participants to work together to eliminate the menace of intolerance and help in creating an ecosystem for every individual’s free growth thereby challenging the elements inimical to tranquillity.
“We have to work towards creating a society which will become enviable abode for citizenry in terms of their vision and spirit of camaraderie”, he maintained.
On the cleanliness mission, the MLA observed that urban pockets needed it the most as these are alarmingly turning into slums. He referred to mountains of garbage accumulating in every neighbourhood with each passing day and said though the Government cannot absolve itself of its responsibility in maintaining high civic standards, the society to has a duty to keep the cities and towns clean.
