He announced that 25 residential schools for minorities would be opened soon in the state.

    This is the most beautiful way our religious festivals can be made more beautiful by showing our respect and love for one another. You do not have to be a politician to display your diplomatic presence for any festive occasion, but there are so many events during the year we can meet and greet one another and share our joy of being together and share each one's personal celebration of a religious festival and share our happiness.

    India is a place where friends, families and neighbors can gather together and share so much of joy and show our love, respect and affection towards each other, where money does not come on the way. It is purely human respect and human goodwill.
