Beginning the New Year on a bright note, here’s presenting the wish-list of well-known personality from the region
Amarinder Singh, CM, Punjab
Manpriya Singh
Powerful, poor, ordinary or significant; who doesn’t have a long list for the open-ended sentence starting with ‘I wish…’ so much so that it’s hard to differentiate between wishes and wishful thinking! And, what better time to wish than the start of a new year? For this ‘if’, we get talking to all the right people, who tick off all the fields for us.
One for the state
Amarinder Singh, CM, Punjab
Top of the wish-list: Religious tolerance and communal harmony tops my wish-list for India
It is absolutely surprising and very reassuring that out of his very long wish-list for the state, Chief Minister, Punjab, Amarinder Singh starts with the wish of communal harmony and religious tolerance for the coming year. “I am hopeful that we, as a nation, will become more tolerant towards one another,” he says.
He adds, “I also hope that at the dawn of the New Year, we achieve the much-needed freedom from pollution to make our country more live-able for the future generations. Peace with the neighbours is another desire I hold dear to my heart.” While particularly for the state of Punjab, “It is the safety of all citizens.”
Well, he is not missing anything! “Industrial development, freedom from debt for the farmers and clean drinking water for everyone in the state is also my wish. I want our youth to be free from drugs and unemployment, and prosper in an environment of social equality.” How we wish him luck with all of that!
