Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], September 21 (ANI): Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, Sunil Sharma, on Sunday hailed the 'Namo Yuva Run' campaign, saying that Kashmir's youth were associating with this marathon with the dream of 'Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat' with the belief that India's progress implies Kashmir's progress.
Pointing to one of the goals of this marathon, Sharma added that such sports events inspire the youth to stay away from the menace of drugs.
Speaking to the media on the 'Namo Yuva Run' campaign, Sharma says, "Various programmes took place under the Sewa Pakhwada, organised from the 75th birthday of the Prime Minister. First blood donation camps, then medical camps, cleanliness programmes, and now a marathon is being organised to instil enthusiasm in youth under 'Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat'. Kashmir's youth is associating with this marathon. This also gives a direction to the youth and encourages them to stay away from addiction. The drug business is trying to enter India from various countries, and under the various policies made by the government of India, there will be strictness, which will keep our upcoming generations safe."
