who'e-heartedly

COMRADES
Today,
we
cannot
ask
the
youth
to
take
to
pistols
and
bombs.
Today,
students
are
confronted
with
a far
more
important
assignment.
In
the
coming
Lahore
Session
the
Congress
is to
give
call
for a
fierce
fight
for
the
independence
of
the
country.
The
youth
will
have
to
bear
a
great
burden
in
this
difficult
times
in
the
history
of
the
nation.
It is
true
that
students
have
faced
death
at
the
forward
positions
of
the
struggle
for
independence.
Will
they
hesitate
this
time
in
proving
their
same
staunchness
and
self-confidence
? The
youth
will
have
to
spread
this
revolutionary
message
to
the
far
corner
of
the
country.
They
have
to
awaken
crores
of
slum-dwellers
of
the
industrial
areas
and
villagers
living
in
worn-out
cottages,
so
that
we
will
be
independent
and
the
exploitation
of
man
by
man
will
become
an
impossibility.
Punjab
is
considered
politically
bockward
even
otherwise.
This
is
also
the
responsibility
of
the
youth.
Taking
inspiration
from
the
martyr
Yatindra
Nath
Das
and
with
boundless
reverence
for
the
country,
they
must
prove
that
they
can
fight
with
steadfast
resolve
in
this
struggle
for
independence.
