Sikar, September 25 (HS). Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar said that we should understand the thinking and philosophy of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya. Keep national interest and service to the country above personal and political interests. Those who harm our country are not our well-wishers.
The Vice President was addressing the unveiling ceremony of the statue of Deendayal Upadhyay at Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Shekhawati University on Wednesday. He inaugurated the Gyan Udyan here and also planted saplings under the campaign 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam'. Governor Haribhau Bagde and Deputy Chief Minister Premchand Bairwa were also present at the event. Talking about the Emergency, the Vice President said that I would tell the youth that you should never forget the dark period of the Emergency. Keeping this in mind, Constitution Day is celebrated on 26 November. You should understand the dignity and importance of the Constitution. What happened to us during the Emergency. What a big mess was created and where the country reached from where. How much darkness it went and how people went to jail. A particular person had thrown the rights of millions of people into the dustbin in a way only to fulfill his wishes and to save his position.
He said that Samvidhan Hatya Diwas is celebrated on 25th June. We will have to think that in a democracy like India, how India, which is rich in thousands of years of culture and heritage, bowed down in front of one person that no one came to protect him. 'Never fear failure.' If Chandrayaan-2 had failed, there would have been no need for Chandrayaan-3. Chandrayaan-2 was successful to a great extent. Some people called it a failure too. Any failure is a partial success. It is a ladder to success. Today there is a competition everywhere. People are going to coaching centers and there is no option other than government jobs. Your opportunity basket is very big. IMF says that India is a favorite destination for investment and opportunity. It is not saying this because of government jobs. Earlier, everyone was not equal in front of the law. Some people were above the law and the law could not harm them. If such a perception was formed, then what will the law do? Now that perception has collapsed.
He said that earlier no work was done without corruption. Now middlemen have disappeared. Technology has played a huge role in this. The India we see today is the one that is progressing at a rapid pace. All around us we see that our progress in water, land, sky and space is beyond expectations and imagination. I have seen that era when I used to feel scared. When I became a member of Lok Sabha and a minister at the centre in 1989, the economy was smaller than even London. Now in the next two years, we are going to become the third superpower of the world, going ahead of Japan and Germany. Now this country is not going to stop but some people want to create obstacles. You should not remain silent and keeping nationalism in mind, ensure that we remain completely dedicated to the nation. We are Indians and Indianness is our identity. Rashtra Dharma is our biggest Dharma.
