Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said everyone should “rise above party politics” for the development of India from now till 2047, when the country celebrates 100 years of Independence.
Inaugurating a two-day conference of state culture and tourism department ministers and officers under the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav programme here, Mr. Shah said no one knew who the Prime Minister would be in 25 years, but the country would remain. The government had termed the 25-year period from this year till 2047 “amrit kaal”, or a time to work towards an India at 100.
If children today learnt about the Freedom struggle, then they would be devoted to the development of India for their whole lives, he noted and emphasised the need for all villages to be associated with the programmes under AKAM, especially those involving the youth.
