Pradeep from Alirajpur says Govt has caught liquor worth Rs 80 lakhs this month in Alirajpur district in MP. It is just tip of iceberg as this border district is used for supplying liquor to Gujarat from MP and Maharashtra. Similarly subsidized ration meant for adivasis in Maharashtra is smuggled to businessmen in MP using speed boats on Narmada. He urges Govt to get serious about this smuggling which is creating lots of hardship for adivasis in Maharashtra. Pradeep@8085902811

हमें अपनी ज़िन्दगी खुद बनाने दो
हमारी ख्वाहिशों को कोई न छीन लो
आज अपना बचपन हम मांगते हैं
आज अपनी हिम्मत हम बांधते हैं
एक साथ कदम बढ़ाते जाएंगे
कहीं किसी के बल से टूट न पाएँगे
काम और वेतन बढ़ाके ही रहेँ
हम तो काम के बन्धन से मुक्त ही रहेँ
हमें अपनी ज़िन्दगी खुद बनाने दो
हमारी ख्वाहिशों को कोई न छीन लो
घर की रोशनी मे अब रहेंगे हम
चलो उठो अंधेरों से बचेंगे हम
स्वप्न ये हमारे हमे साथ दीजिए
पढ़ेंगे और लिखेंगे नई आरजू लिए
