"Indian Democracy gives us opportunity to become leaders. Durga Oraon, made use of this opportunity under the banner,"PIL" to make a corruption free Jharkhand. In order to make our country free of corruption, we need not pick up weapons, need not become lawyers, need not become IPS officers. I need to become aware of my rights. I need to acquire knowledge. Then I become a leader to myself. Once I become a leader to myself, I become a leader to my family, my village, my state and my nation. Everybody cannot become PM, CM, professor or priest. This does not mean that we cannot live a secure and honourable life. Only those people can live an honourable life who honour the law and order. We need to wear helmet while riding motor bike not because the police fine you, but you need to wear for your own safety." These words were said by Mr. Indrajit Mahanta, the Superintendent of Police (SP)Saraikela-Kharaswan district. He was addressing in a "youth Leadership and community building seminar" at Chandil Parish in Jamshedpur diocese, on Sunday, 15th September 2013.
