Strive for a common identity, Minister Kiren Rijiju tells youths

OUR CORRESPONDENT

YUPIA: Union Law & Justice Minister Kiren Rijiju on Sunday called upon youths to come out of the self-centred attitude and work for a pan-Arunachal Pradesh identity where every tribe gets equal opportunities.

He asked the youths not to think of only their community, but for others, too, so that the State moves ahead.

"Time has come for the people of the State to work for a united Arunachal where every tribe co-exists. The State cannot progress if all tribes are not united as a single identity, instead of working for self-interest," the Union Minister said in his address to the people on the occasion of 36th Statehood Day and celebrations marking 50 years of its naming.

Rijiju said many tribes in the State are still unknown to the rest of the country and efforts should be made to uplift them so that they equally progress with others.

"Conquer the world with your power and energy. Contribute to the State and society," he urged the youth.

The Union Minister also requested the business community to invest more in the State instead of others, so that the State progress equally with other parts of the country.

"Don't make Arunachal only as a place of festivals but showcase it as a major destination for investment by putting all-out efforts for outside investors," he said, and asked the people to shun donation culture during festivals and other recreational activities as it hampers development.
