In the 91st episode of “Mann Ki Baat”, his customary radio address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged the people of the country to build an India of the dreams of the freedom fighters on the 75th anniversary of Independence Day. Mr. Modi said the biggest message that emerges from the events being organised for the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is that all countrymen should follow their duty with full devotion. “Only then will we be able to fulfil the dream of those countless freedom fighters… and to build the India of their dreams. That is why this amrit kaal of our next 25 years is kartavyakaal, a period of duty for every countryman. To liberate the country, our brave fighters had given us this responsibility, and we have to fulfil it fully,” Mr. Modi said.
The Prime Minister said that all are going to be witness to a splendid and historic moment during this Independence Day. He said he was very happy to see that the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is taking the form of a mass movement. "People from all walks of life and from every section of the society are participating in different programmes connected with it. One such event took place in Meghalaya earlier this month. People remembered the brave warrior of Meghalaya U. Tirot Singh on his death anniversary. Tirot Singh- ji fiercely opposed the British conspiracy to control the Khasi Hills and destroy the culture there. Many artists gave beautiful performances in this programme," Mr. Modi said in the radio address.
