Tata: What Rahul Gandhi has done is not open a window, but open a door

Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi on Friday kept his promise made to the students of Kashmir during his last visit that he would bring top industrialists to the state. He addressed a gathering of more than 700 students at the Kashmir University auditorium. Sharing the stage with him was an excellent panel of bigh business titans of our country including Ratan Tata and Kumarmangalam Birla.

While addressing the studentsMr Tata said, "It has been a real step forward to have a conversation with the great wealth of human capital that exists here. What Mr Gandhi has done is not open a window, but open a door."

While talking to the media after the interaction with the students, a visible happy Rahul Gandhi said, "The students had said they wanted to speak to the captains of industry and I had promised them this. I think we have some of the brightest children in the room behind us. They were very happy to talk to the business leaders. My aim is to develop trust with the youth of Kashmir."

Rahul Gandhi had talked about building a long term relationship with Kashmir on Thursday also. While attending the function to lay the foundation stone for a tunnel project in Srinagar Rahul Gandhi had said that it was his desire to forge a relationship with the people of Kashmir, to understand their pain and suffering and help mitigate the problems of the region. "I want to reiterate that my family also comes from Kashmir and I am also a Kashmiri. As Dr. Farooq Abdullah has said, his father and my grandfather joined hands for Kashmir. I am here to join hands with Omar Abdullah and the people of Kashmir," he had said.

When Rahul Gandhi had visited the valley last year Rahul Gandhi had promised students that he would bring industry leaders to Jammu and Kashmir after they complained to him about lack of jobs and investments in the state.
