Bhaiyon aur behno ye English mein hai .. yahan par bhi aisey bohot hain. Unhe encourage karo exploit nahi.” (If you don’t support such kids, then what are you even doing? Brothers and sisters, this is in English. We have many here too. Encourage them, don’t exploit them.) His words underlined the importance of encouragement over exploitation.
