Maharashtra may be miles away but Youth United vows to make themselves heard
It8217;s not just about feeling the heat, it8217;s about standing up and making a difference. 8220;India8217;s beauty and strength lies in its diversity, when one part of the country burns in 8216;hate crime8217; every region is bound to be affected,8221; tells Jyotindra Nath, President, Youth United. The group is holding a signature campaign 8216;United we Stand8217; at the Sukhna Lake on November 7, 5.30 pm onwards. This will be followed by a candle light vigil. 8220;The idea is to extend our support in favour of the people who are suffering in Maharashtra due to regionalism,8221; Love Upadhayay shares.
8220;We urge people to join this campaign to bring peace in Maharashtra and other parts of country. We are not raising our voices against any particular section of society but a specific attitude that leads to hate crimes. Our constitution allows us to move freely in the country and seek employment. When the law is supporting free movement, such politically motivated actions hamper national integrity,8221; chips in Aman Ahuja. Youth United has also written to letters to the Chief Justice of India, the Prime Minister and President of India requesting them to bring harmony and fraternity back to the state. As students, the group8217;s concern is all the more stronger. They feel that such activities will limit the growth of youngsters all over the country who look up to certain career destinations. Himanshu Gupta believes, 8220;It8217;s illegal to curb freedom this way, more than that it8217;s unnatural. But the sad part is that the Maharashtra government is doing little for change, we do hope our efforts will make a difference.8221; Join the cause.
