“Corruption and patronage are the worst killers of young innovative minds, and antithetical to merit and stability”, stressed the Vice-President, Jagdeep Dhankhar while addressing the 125th Founders Day celebrations of the Hindu College, University of Delhi today. He further emphasized, “Young people hate corruption because they feel cheated by nepotism, favouritism”.
Lauding recent reforms in the governance ecosystem, Dhankhar highlighted that power corridors have now been fully sanitized of corrupt elements, and a transparent, accountable system is in place. Now is a time when meritocracy prevails and youth can aspire and fulfill their dreams and fully exploit their potential, he added.
In his address, Dhankhar stressed that, “equality before law is the most inalienable feature quintessential to democratic governance”. Referring to recent developments, he said, “now no one is above the law, the long arm of law is reaching to everyone particularly to those who never thought they will be held accountable to law.”
Asserting the importance of respecting rule of law, VP stated “respect for law is respect for nationalism, respect for law is respect for democracy and respect for law is respect for meritocracy, respect for law is curbing corruption.”
