While addressing an impressive rally organised by the
National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) inside the Punjab University campus in
Chandigarh on Thursday, Congress General
secretary Rahul
Gandhi urged the youth to join politics to clean the political system.
Striking an emotional chord with the youth Rahul Gandhi said that the
twenty-first century was going to be the century of India with tremendous human
resource potential.
Rahul Gandhi said that recently he had met some of the
ambassadors of Europe who told him that while the twentieth century was the
century of Saudi Arabia as it controlled the oil, India will be the
twenty-first century’s Saudi Arabia as it had tremendous human resource
potential. “India is going to be the 21st century’s Saudi Arabia in
terms of human resources” he said.
Focussing the girls who were present at the meeting in large
numbers, the Congress General Secretary requested them to join politics by
saying “Wherever there is development, there are women in active politics”. “I
wish there would be a woman Chief Minister in Punjab within the next 15 years”
he added.
Referring to the opposition parties’ objection to the
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the retail sector, Rahul Gandhi said, “We
brought in FDI to ensure the right of the farmers to get adequate price for
their products. BJP and NDA were not against FDI when they were in power at the
Centre. When we implemented it, they oppose it”
“They also had raised objections when we brought in MNREGA
and talked about new land acquisition bill. They, in fact, want to create
obstacles. Because they know that if the Congress is allowed to go ahead with
these development policies, it will change the entire system” he said further
adding, “They want to oppose us just for the sake of opposition”.
“But no one can stop us. We have the support of the youth in
front of me. You are the strength and the future of our country. Take part in
development by joining us. The students who have just joined the NSUI are the
future of our nation,” said the Congress leader amidst cheers from the crowd.
