“Leave self-centered attitude; go beyond I, Me and Myself and let’s vow for building a strong, self-respecting, sovereign, self-sufficient, self-reliant nation which could spread peace, harmony and universal brotherhood in the world.” This clarion call was given by the Sarkaryavah of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Suresh Sadashiv alias Bhaiyaji Joshi while inaugurating the 66th session of National Conference of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) at Smruti Mandir Premises, RSS Head Quarters in Reshimbagh on Friday.

 

In his inspiring speech, Joshi appealed to the youths and executive committee members from across the country attending his historical conference, “Come out of the inferiority complex, guilt, psychological inhibitions and emerge as a powerful citizens of Bharat to rebuild the nation again as ‘Vishwa Guru’. Bharat is now no more a developing country. Though the country is facing a lot of challenges, the youths are its real strength. This nation has become a largest nation having a large population of youths. Despite of facing five wars after the independence, the country has achieved self-sufficiency in many fields like Agriculture, Security Forces, Information Technology, Atomic Energy, Power, Transportation, Health, Education etc. The country has shown its competency in these fields and now it is a time to respond to the leadership who had dreamed to built Atmanirbhar Bharat.”

 

Joshi mentioned, “The entire global world is considering India as a big market, a country of large population producing cheap labour to other countries etc. You as the youths should prove the world wrong. Build courage, strength, set your own goals, see higher dreams, work hard to fulfill all your dreams, develop inner wisdom and take a challenge to lead the world to follow righteous path.”

 

“The country grows only when the power of the common man is concentrated. India’s strength lies in the strength of the weaker section and common man. When empowerment of common man, poor, weaker section, will be done, then our country will be on the path of becoming a world leader. The common man should stand with the country with all his strength to fulfill this dream of India,” appealed Bhaiyaji Joshi.
