He added, “We want to build a new India, which would be free from crime, terrorism, injustice and corruption; an India where there is respect for creation of wealth; where private enterprise is promoted rather than restricted and where the government is a facilitator of fair business, rather than being an inefficient and corrupt agency for obstructing the growth.”

Others present on the occasion were Chief Observer S Surjeet Singh Sitara, Rajesh Manchanda Advisor and Kamal Mangotra District President.
