“We should take part in sports as recently even our prime minister campaigned for it, sports activities should continue as it gives us many things”, he elucidate.

“The governor sir talked about our appointments with the prime minister during the ‘Mann ki Baat’ program, Chandeep met with him we were outside”, he added.
“If we are given jobs then this step will motivate other parents to encourage their children to participate in sports, the process in going on”, he commented.

“The authorities have not made their promise how we can believe them. The govt told us that my son will be appointed as Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP), but they have not done anything”, she added.
“I want to ask local govt that if they have told my son that they will appoint him as DySP for his achievement, at least they should fulfill their vow”, she stressed.
“If they can’t provide him the job personally as promised then they should give him as per the govt policy as it is in existence now. I appeal to LG sir to find a solution of this and pay heed to children as they’re very disappointed”, she alleged.
“The matter is in pipeline but what’s the fun of this sports policy if it is not being implemented, we also have to marry our kids”, she accused.
“Sometimes it’s hurt and it feels that our children should not play from J-K, I appeal to PM sir also to pay heed to our matter”, she said.
