cm Kalam asks children to fight corruption at home 16 Nov 2007, 2127 hrs IST,PTI KANPUR: Former President APJ Abdul Kalam on Saturday asked children to begin their fight against corruption at home by inspiring their guardians to put an end to the menace so that a developed, prosperous and corruption-free India emerges by the year 2020. "If children inspire their parents to weed out corruption, it will be automatically eliminated from the country paving the way for a developed and corruption-free India by the year 2020", Kalam said addressing children at a function. He also asked children to take the pledge to eliminate corruption and build a country where everything was perfectly transparent. He said he had visited many parts of the country where children asked him how corruption could be wiped out. "I gave all of them just one answer that they would have to take the initiative for this", he said. Observing that the youth was on the right path in the country today, Kalam said all they needed to do was channelise their energy towards nation-building. The former President was in Kanpur to attend the silver jubilee function of Sir Padmapat Singhania Education Centre. When he asked the children present at the function how many of them wanted to become 'netas' (politicians) no hands were raised. However, when he asked them how many of them wanted to visit the Mars all of them raised their hands instantaneously. Children also jostled with each other breaking the security cordon several times to have Kalam's autograph. The former President later visited an exhibition where models made by children were put on display. _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
