Anurag Thakur, the Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, stated today that India had been subjected to the “mentality of western countries” for 70 years, but that things had changed recently.
He also cautioned the youth to remain alert against the forces trying to break up the country using “a report, billionaire and other means.”
Thakur was speaking at Yuva Samvaad India @2047 organized by the Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan Chhattisgarh unit at Rawatpura Sarkar University in Dhaneli village.
“We should be proud of our heritage, history, art, culture and tradition. The mentality of western countries was imposed on our country for 70 years. The work of changing this thinking has been done in the last eight years,” the BJP leader said. “Today, we can say with pride that the magnificent Somnath Dham, Kashi Dham, Kedarnath Dham and Mahakal Dham were built, and next year the construction of Ayodhya Dham will be completed.”
According to the minister, the development of these locations has increased visitor traffic and created jobs for people. Youth should be on guard against “forces trying to split up the country using a report, billionaire, and other tactics,” Thakur said. He did not, however, specify which “report” or “billionaire” he was making reference to.
Thakur stated that it was important to be vigilant against those who propagate misinformation and propagandise against the nation.
