Underling the importance of youths in politics and calling for removal of disenchantment among youth towards politics, Senior Congress Leader and MLA Inderwal, Ghulam Mohammed Saroori on Wednesday stress on the youths of the state to join the political process and play its part in nation building.While addressing the youths during a program organised by NSUI, Saroori said that though there is a perception among some sections of people that politics in its present form does not attract educated youth. He said on the contrary, it is the twin force of politics and legislative affairs that articulate our national priorities and credible strategies to reflect them in our programmes and policies.
Saroori said that the youth of Jammu and Kashmir are confident and passionate about bringing about a change in their state and added that the same passion can be best served in sincere, pro-people politics. “Politics is no doubt seen with cynicism and skepticism by a lot of educated people, especially in urban areas. However politics is an indispensable and unparalleled tool to change what we find unacceptable in our society or state,” Saroori said.While stating that Congress party has reposed faith in educated young leaders, Saroori added that Congress party respects not just the passion of J&K’s youth but also its disgruntlement with the political system.
"We should, therefore, appreciate that as politics is an effective tool to shape the future of the people, it is necessary to change this perception," Saroori said, adding that "disenchantment among the youth towards politics should be removed as it limits their capacity to contribute purposely in the process of nation building".He called upon the youth to join political process so that their boundless energy could be utilised in growth and prosperity of the nation.Saroori also exchange various thoughts with youths during an interaction with the students of Government Degree College Kishtwar at his residence.He stressed that the youth should make every effort to carry the benefits of democracy to the poor and those who stand at the margins of the society.
