Join politics after completing studies: Omar to students ‘All politicians aren’t same’ Srinagar, Sep 16: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah Monday said his political agenda is not focused on obtaining the chair but to serve people and steer the State towards peace, prosperity and development. He said some politicians may have the political aim of obtaining power but his politics revolves round the public service. “All the politicians are not with motivated interests but they are with aim to serve their people. Like in other fields of life there may be some bad politicians in political field but the majority of them are good people committed to the service to the people and the Nation”, Omar in a statement issued to GNS said and asked the students not to shun the desire of entering politics after completing their studies by getting disappointed with the performance and actions of some politicians. Describing youth future of the country, Chief Minister told them to nurture themselves into best possible human resource to lead the State and the country as capable, qualified and astute leaders. “All of us have to leave the field for younger generation.

Replying the questions of the students after addressing them at the ‘Pratiba Samman Samaroh 2013’ at Gandhi Nagar here organized by Amar Ujala newspapers group, the Chief Minister said that respecting each other, spreading love and affection and making public service benchmark in all sphere of life makes a person an ideal citizen. “We may not resemble each other in colour, creed and caste. Our religion, ideology, region, language, culture may be different. But we can live together in an atmosphere of amity and brotherhood and prosper jointly”, Omar said and added that India is abode of different cultures, religions, languages, regions and an ideal citizen would respect his fellow citizens and extend help without having consideration. Chief Minister said the society and democracy stand on four important pillars of legislature, judiciary, executive and media. “All are equally responsible to build principle based society where justice, rule of law and inclusive development will be the guiding principle for all.” In reply to another question, Omar Abdullah said his government has created so many opportunities for youth to take up self-employment ventures and be members of the MSME sector. “Investors from outside have not shown encouraging trend to venture in the State. However, we have created good opportunities for our educated, skilled and trained youth to generate employment and economic activities not only for themselves but others”, he said and mentioned the unique employment generation and skill up-gradation programmes of Himayat and Udaan launched in the State to expand job market for J&K youth. “Many States are craving for such initiatives implemented by the Union Government in Jammu and Kashmir. Youth should take best advantage of such initiatives and come forward to prove their mettle,” Omar added. (GNS)
