NEW DELHI: Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra today underscored the need for good governance and honest administration for the development of country even as he decried clash of erstwhile ideologies and traditions with new ideas and perception.

Noting that India is a large, populous country with many religions, old orientations, diverse socio-religious and socio-cultural elements, Vohra said clashes of ideas is not a very good mixture in terms of management and governance.

“In our totally free environment of democracy that we have, some of these erstwhile ideologies, traditions, come to clash with new ideas and perception, some of which emanate from electoral politics. This leads to not a very good mixture in terms of management and governance,” he said speaking at the launch of his book ‘Safeguarding India’.

His comments came against the backdrop of the hotly debated issue of nationalism and right to dissent in the wake of the JNU controversy. (AGENCIES)
