BAMBOLIM: Assam’s Finance Minister Himanta Biswas Sarma on Sunday said that it was now time to develop that organic leadership, which respects our rich culture and not on dynasty.
“We need our future generation to believe the principles that are most sustainable principles towards humanity. It is now time to develop that organic leadership which is democratic, which respects our rich culture, tradition and which is not based on dynasty,” Sarma said at the India Ideas Conclave 2017
“Today we have seen what is happening in last few months or few days, few weeks, we have seen a particular section of media, a particular section of society is trying to invent and reinvent a particular leader who has come from a dynasty and it is as if that India cannot be India without relying on particular dynasty,” he said
He further said that he has seen a section of media, section of intellectual whose focus is more on a family then our culture or heritage.
“We need to develop a leadership in the country which do not believe that a particular family or particular dynasty is the answer to India’s problems but who believes that your roots, culture, philosophy has the answer to the problem which you are facing today,” Sarma said
He further informed that when we talk of our culture and philosophy, there is a section of liberal, so called secular people who start reticulating.
“When you talk of our culture and heritage you get ridiculed from that section of the people. But I believe that a time has come we need to create a strong movement of nationalism which is developed on the core value from our past,” Sarma added.
