The new generation of the post-independence period has now come into its own. A new adult generation has come into its own in our country and do not exactly know what we did 20 years ago. And even if we want to tell them that this was our struggle and these are the sacrifices that we made during the independence struggle, that does not make any impact on their minds. They take our contribution for granted and it is very natural that they should take it for granted. Every new generation stands on the shoulders of the previous generation. We shall have to tell them not only that we have done so much for them but also what is going to be done for them in future. I always tell the younger people whenever I meet them that, "We belong to that proud generation which fought for the independence struggle; we have made our contribution. We are happy that we are the soldiers who fought for freedom. Now it is your duty to come forward, accept the challenge and consolidate the freedom and take the fight further and further and further." If you aproach them in a proper way I have no doubt the younger people will come to us. If we adopt this attitude towards our youth, I do not think that there is any fear about the Congress being rejected.
Therefore, the last appeal that I would like to make is, let us not think in terms of politics of split, denigration, personal attacks and character assassination. Let us try to think in terms of politics of commitment and dedication to the people. If we do that I have no doubt that the country and democratic socialism will take care of themselves.
