We all understand the power of collective strength. With the resolution, hard work & sacrifices of 1.25 billion Indians, we can do anything. Hence, with the vision of New India, we have to help the country develop further. In this time our collective strength, hard work & determination, while remembering our brave freedom fighters can help us create a country par excellence. We still have 5 years till India completes 75 years. 70 years of Independence & 75 years unil 2022, from 1942 to 1947, Indians portrayed such show of strength, which not just gave sleepless nights to the Britishers, but they were also forced to leave the country and go back. It is a day in history, which inspires all of us to do something for the country. It is 125 years since the tradition of Ganeshotsav had started to inculcate the feeling of public sentiment. This also marks the time, when Lokmanya Tilak had said, ‘Swaraj is my birth right’. This year also marks 100 years of the Sabarmati Asharam. This year we are also celebrating 100 years of Champaran Satyagraha. Just last week, we recollected memories of 75 years of the Quit India movement. My dear fellow Indians, this year is an extremely important year for Independent India. And I assure all of you, in such times, we will leave no stone unturned to ensure your wellness & security. In these difficult times, the support of our fellow Indians keeps us going. We saw the loss of many innocent lives at the (Gorakhpur) hospital. For the last few days, there have been several pockets in the country, that had to face the brunt of this problem. But it is the effect of the changing air & water that natural disturbances can cause severe obstructions. Good rains highly contribute for the country to prosper on the whole. Sometimes, some problems become very big challenges for us. I, on behalf of 1.25 billion Indians salute those who’ve sacrificed for the freedom, honour & pride of our country. From Lord Krishna to Mahatma Gandhi, our country has a rich historical, cultural heritage. I can see in huge numbers in front of me some young Krishnas. The entire nation, along with the independence spirit, is celebrating Janmashtami as well. My dear Indians, on the auspicious occasion of Independence Day, my wishes to all my fellow Indians.
