AMRITSAR, APRIL 24
With the view to create awareness about using right to vote, the students of Khalsa College Amritsar today organized a rally and stated a play, asking the voters, especially the youth to exercise their right to franchise as duty. The programs were organized by the NSS Wing of the College and students, carrying the banners and placard asked the masses that to strengthen the democracy they must go to vote to elect their representatives to the Parliament.
Khalsa College Principal Dr.Daljit Singh said the aim of the rally was to make the general public aware about how important it is to use the right to vote. He said huge gathering was witnessed when the students performed the `Nukad Natak’ (street play) outside the College at Kot Khalsa Road, enacting the message of not being lured by the worldly things but using the voting right as sacred one. He said more than 100 students participated in the event, organized as per the directions from the district electoral authorities.
While addressing the students Dr.Daljit said that India is largest democracy in the world but it was unfortunate that at an average only 60 percent of the eligible voters cast their votes. `Using the right of adult franchise is sacred and all must go to polling stations to caste their votes’’, said he. NSS Program Coordinator Dr.Jaspreet Kaur Randhawa and Program Officer Prof.Zorawar Singh led the students during the rally.
