Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday unfurled the national flag and addressed the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort.
While addressing the nation PM urged the citizens to “change the mentality towards women” in everyday life.
“I have one request to every Indian. Can we change the mentality towards our women in everyday life? Pride of Nari Shakti will play a vital role in fulfilling the dreams of India. It is important that in our speech and conduct, we do nothing that lowers the dignity of women. Respect for Women is an important pillar of India’s growth. We need to support our Nari Shakti,” PM Modi said.
PM Modi further said, “Be it education or science, women of the country are at the top… Be it sports or the battlefield, India’s women are stepping forward with a new capability and confidence. I see the immense contribution by women in 25 yrs to come, much more than that in the 75-year journey.”
Meanwhile, PM Modi also stressed duties and disciplined life while mentioning those who achieved something in life.
” The country which have achieved something or even the individuals who have achieved something, some things come to the fore. One is a disciplined life. The other is dedicated towards duties. We will have to stress on duties. It is the duty of the administration to make effort to provide 24-hour electricity. But it is the duty of the citizens to save as much electricity as possible,” PM Modi.
“Giving water to every field is the duty of every government, but per drop more crop voice should rise from every field, saving as much water as possible, PM Modi added.
Moreover, PM said if every citizen will fulfill his duty then the country can achieve the target.
“Be it police or people, nobody is untouched with duties. If every citizen fulfills his duty, I believe we can achieve our desired target before the designated time,” PM Modi said.
However, on the occasion of 75th Independence Day, BJP President J.P. Nadda greeted the people on Independence Day. Nadda also paid tribute to the great revolutionaries and freedom fighters who dedicated their lives to the freedom struggle.
