The Rajasthan Chief Minister urged people to use the internet cautiously.
"Using internet has become a habit of all of us that if friends sit together, they keep sitting for 3-4 hours and do not talk to each other. They talk to the internet and mobile. Such a time has come," Gehlot said.
“Without internet, no one is able to do work. Internet, in a way, has become just like opium. You can understand what situation arises, if those who take opium do not get it. Such a situation has occurred that if internet is suspended or signal is weak then it directly disturbs mind,” he added.
CM Gehlot emphasized that the internet is a source of knowledge if taken in the right spirit.
"In present times knowledge is power and internet has paved a way for young generation to fulfill their dream," he said.
