(SUBHEAD)He said that youths should stay away from drugs and concentrate on sports. They should serve the society by doing religious and social work. He demanded from the Punjab government there should be a separate track for running and walking in the Nehru Stadium of Abohar and financial help should be given to the poor players. Youths have talent but somewhere due to lack of management and money, they are not able to move forward.
After limiting himself to sports, he won many medals at state, inter-state and national athletic championships, this helped in winning the love of hundreds of youth.
