Here are some key quotes from Prime Minister Modi’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ address:
- “During the freedom movement, countless people from all walks of life came forward, even though they had no political background. They devoted themselves entirely to India’s independence. Today, to achieve the vision of a Viksit Bharat, we need to rekindle that same spirit once again.”
- “On the 23rd of August, the country celebrated the first National Space Day. I am sure that all of you must have celebrated this day. Once again you all must have celebrated the success of Chandrayaan-3. Last year on this day, Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed at Shiv-Shakti point on the Southern part of the Moon. India became the first country in the world to achieve this feat.”
- “Every house is a tricolour and the whole country is a tricolour’ This time the campaign was at its peak. Amazing pictures related to this campaign have emerged from every corner of the country…Tiranga rally was taken out in Jammu and Kashmir with a 750 meter long flag and this rally was taken out on the world’s highest Chenab Railway Bridge.
- “We celebrated Raksha Bandhan on 19th August. On the same day, ‘World Sanskrit Day’ was also celebrated all over the world. Even today, people in India and abroad have a special attachment towards Sanskrit. Various kinds of research and experiments are being conducted on Sanskrit language in many countries of the world.”
