“How many times the interviews were conducted but the jobs are not provided. We have social problems. Lakhs of our educated youth are unemployed. Their parents had invested whatever they had for the education of these youth. We have to come out of these economic and social crisis. We cannot come out with mere sloganeering or through lectures and speeches but with proper planning and the execution of the plans.” Bhalla said.
Bhalla also expressed serious concern over the increasing drug addiction problem among the youth and urged for a joint fight on all levels against this menace.
He said the main reason for drug addiction is unemployment among the youth. The former Minister advocated stringent punishment for those who earned wealth by smuggling drugs.
Bhalla referred to the contributions of Congress party towards upliftment of downtrodden in every sphere including political empowerment from top to bottom right upto panchyats. He said it was Congress which framed the reservation Act for Reserved categories in 2004 which was earlier regulated by an SRO in J&K.
