eautiful atmosphere, their young children will create. Spend a little money to create
peace in this country, to strengthen goodwill in this country. Once the railway ministry
had given me, Shri Jafar Sharif is sitting here, he was Railway Minister, Arjun Singh Ji
and Jafar Sharif, they gave me a whole train of 14 bogies, come on, preach goodwill in
this country. So, goodwill trains ran 3 phases and what a beautiful atmosphere it had
created. Where is the money for all these things. Because all our money is spent for
Guns, Gun, Gun, Gun. Well, I don’t say, stop the Gun, we have to use it, but then let us
discourage the use of gun also. Now, next week is Diwali and what is the biggest toy
that is being sold in the market – Gun, Gun. So this Gun culture has to go and there, Mr.
Ram said media – Oh yes, wonderful, our media is wonderful because I am just back
from the United States, I see all computers, all the papers that the United States produce.
Indian papers are wonderful but then please don’t, don’t celebrate crime. Why
should we print the photograph of rapist, they do it because next day he is in the papers,
why do we encourage them. So let us, let us change our ways, our directions that is
very important. Media can play a very big role. I admire Dr. Ramdoss, no cigarette, no
smoking but then people say well, you are coming in the way of freedom. Is that the
freedom. In fact, suicide is a crime in India and nobody can say well how can you
punish me because I am trying to commit my suicide. Attempt to sucide is a crime.
Sucide is no crime, because the man is gone. Similarly, cigarette. Yesterday I was in my
centre in Bhopal, we have a de-adiction centre and these days young people come there
with some new injections and they say once these injections are inside you, then you
have no way at all. How difficult it is for them to overcome from there. So the media
must help there. Hence in prevention of all these evils in our country, media can play
great role. I hope they will. The Central Government is doing right things. The UNESCO
has a beautiful sentence in its charter “war begins in the minds of men”. I don’t know
why it did not say men and women. Anyway that is what is printed. Hence the defence
of peace must be constructed in the minds of men. If it is the minds of men that create
all the problems we will do something - Some programme for creating better human
beings in our country. Unfortunately, our schools, our colleges, our media are not doing
this, at least to the extent that is needed. Some of us are doing that, so in all my camps,
I have 500 people, 100 people, 1000 people, young people, they come spending their
own money, and I hope the government will someday start helping me. They used to
help me. In fact, in Bhagalpur, 2000 people were killed. It is the Government of India
who came after me. Please come, help Bhagalpur and one camp. Bhagalpur had been
divided into India and Pakistan. Hindus this side, Muslims that side. But then 700 young
men and women marching through them with beautiful song and Bhagalpur had a new
life and when we visited there with my train, Bhagalpur friends told me we see
because of that camp, 4-5 years ago, even after Babri Masjid, there is no problem in
Bhagalpur. This is possible, there is so much potential in our young people. Please
find out that potential. And may be the last point. There was one Prime Minister
named Indira Gandhi in our country. She took up this programme as a part of
