Punjab (The Stellar News) Saksham Kalia: one of five states where assembly elections are going to held in next month and administration is using every method to encourage and motivate people to vote. In a bid to motivate youth, Jalandhar administration used Aamir Khan’s; character of Gajni who has short term memory loss health problem.
The painting painted on the flyover walls showcase the image of Gajni written with, “Is baar vote pauni nhi bhulanga” (In Punjabi). Administration chosen reel hero to encourage people, but why don’t they used real heroes of India.
Calling sportsman, scientists, Toppers in studies the real heroes in public speeches is really common but showcasing them in such important messages is hard to find in society.
Big questions that arise after noticing the image of Gajni are, why not Indian hockey team players painting used to encourage people, why not freedom fighters or martyred soldiers images used to motivate people, why not students who did top in their studies are used for this purpose?
Questions are common but the answer is same, psychological updation in system working. When administration will start doing such nominal changes in their working, whole country will take inspiration from real heroes and not just encourage to vote but also encourage to become like the real heroes.
