“He (Gandhiji) had said that he sees a ray of hope in this land. I pray that J&K emerges as a shining star to show the light to the entire country in these difficult times (1947 partition era).”

He urged the youth of J&K to make Gandhian ideals the basis of their lives and contribute actively to the welfare of society. “Our young generation must realize that Bapu’s J&K is one of peace and prosperity, and they have a responsibility to shape it with their energy and dedication,” he said.
