JAMMU, Sept 7: Making a fervent appeal to the youth of Kashmir to understand the game plan of separatists and Pakistan and not fall prey to their anti-India tirade, BJYM State President, Dr. Suresh Ajay Magotra today said that youth is the future of every nation and they should not waste their time, talent and energy in activities like stone pelting but utilize the same for getting best education to become respectable citizens.
Addressing a press conference here at Trikuta Nagar party office, he welcomed Rs 200 crores package for sports in the State and said the same can prove to be beneficial for the youth as more infrastructure and related facilities can be added for sports activities. The financial assistance from the Central Government is going to boost the morale of the youth in all the three regions of the State, who have enough talent in various sports but lack required infrastructure, he added.
“The talents of youth is like a pearl, which needs to be discovered and further polish to shine and it is possible when the Government provides an environment full of facilities and future avenues of security for survival”, he said.
BJYM State president said that Modi led Government is pro- youth and since the day it came to power at the Centre, youth got a lot of packages for J&K from Government. All the previous successive Governments in the State had done nothing special in their policy for the youth. He, on behalf of youth, thanked Central Government & Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitely, for allotting separate Rs. 200 crore for development of sports infrastructure in Jammu & Kashmir, which includes Rs. 88 crore for renovation of Bakshi Stadium, Srinagar and MA Stadium, Jammu, Rs. 52 crore for upgradation of existing stadiums at Poonch & Rajouri and much more.
Dr. Magotra recalled the mega package in which Prime Minister announced Rs. 80,000 crore economic package, double than the one sought, which included Rs. 2600 crore, towards Human Resource Development, Skill Development and sports for the youth of the State.
Others who were present in the press conference were State general secretaries Vikas Choudhary and Tarun Sharma, State vice-presidents Munish Khajuria and Ajay Vaid.
