Hyderabad, Aug 14 : Lok Satta Party President Jayaprakash Narayan today called upon all right thinking people to join hands transcending their differences to root out the seven scourges plaguing the country, make India great and prosperous, and realise the freedom fighters' dreams.In a message on the eve of Independence Day, he said despite many flaws, Indians could legitimately be proud of preserving the unity and integrity of the country, maintaining freedom and democracy and strengthening federalism in a diverse and complex country.''What is more heartening is that for the first time in nearly three centuries, India has been back on the road to economic prosperity for the last two decades.''If we do the things mandated by the Constitution and for which freedom fighters staked their all, we have the potential to make up for all the lost opportunities and make India a super power in the next two decades in which everybody enjoys equity and justice.'' Dr Narayan said the seven scourges hobbling India's potential for growth and greatness were growing inequalities and abject poverty; persistent tendency to divide people on grounds of caste and religion, language, and region; ever-widening rural-urban divide, resulting in de-population of villages, choking of towns and cities; monumental corruption; overcentralisation of power and enfeeblement of people; absence of rule of law; and alcoholism and drug abuse.
