Don't allow anyone to dictate your action: Dhankhar tells students
On 5 March, India's Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar advised students not to allow anyone to dictate their course of action, asking them not to be afraid of failure.
Dhankhar made these remarks while addressing a convocation ceremony of Jan Nayak Chaudhary Devi Lal Vidyapeeth (JCD) in Sirsa. Haryana minister Ranbir Gangwa, Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) leader Abhay Singh Chautala, who is president of the Devi Lal Memorial Trust; and INLD MLA Arjun Chautala, who is chairman of JCD Vidyapeeth, were among others present.
Dhankhar told the gathering to always put the nation first, saying, "There can be no interest higher than the national interest. Personal and political interests are insignificant."
Dhankhar called upon the students to choose a career in life according to their interests and aptitudes.
"Allow your life to go like a river and not like a canal... there was a time when a child was born and parents used to decide what career their child has to choose," he said.
