New Delhi: Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid can be sources of entertainment for the youth but never their ideals, says BJP President Rajnath Singh.
"Earlier even students of primary classes knew about freedom fighters like like Bhagat Singh, Khudiram Bose and Baba Jatin but today they can only recall the names of film stars and cricketers like Ganguly and Dravid," Singh said.
The BJP President was addressing the national executive meeting of the party's youth wing, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM).
"Film stars and players can be sources of entertainment but never ideals. It is people like Chandrashekhar Azad and Bhagat Singh who should be the ideals", the party Chief said.
He said while the youth were interested in film heroines, they should not forget the people who fought for the nation's self-respect.
