Dear Friends,
At the outset of the speech, I would extend my well- wishes to you all on this auspicious occasion of 65th Independence Day of India. Our country is a very big country with lot of diversities like religion, caste, creed, region and language. This day is celebrated by every Indian irrespective of his religion, caste, creed, region, and lingual group. This spirit of 'unity in diversity' was at the root of getting freedom from the British rule. This is the spirit that kept our country as a unit for last 64 years. This is the spirit which is making our country an economic power and a super power to be reckoned with. This spirit did not build in a day. But, it is the hard work of our foresighted leaders during the period of freedom struggle. Mahatma Gandhi and his followers instill the confidence in the people from all the diversities that their unity is the foremost requirement of freedom and independence. Our unity worked and the British rule ended on 15th of August 1947. I take this opportunity to salute these freedom fighters who put their lives at stake for the country and lived up to the spirit of unity.
After achieving the independence, our great leaders cherished the ethos of freedom movement in the Constitution of the nation. We are secular democratic republic and our constitution guarantees the dignity of the individual to strengthen the unity and integrity of the nation. Our constitution is the document respected by every Indian.
We have to remain cautious from the disruptive plans of some corrupt politicians and persons of vested interest who are raising the parochial issues to damage the national fabric of unity and integrity. Some anti-national forces are using corruption and terrorism as the tools to retard our economic development and prosperity of the country.
Today is the most opportune day to redeem our pledge for unity and integrity of the nation. We also pledge to stand united against corruption and terrorism.
Jai Hind!
