71st Independence Day Speech: By P.M Narendra Modi
Summary of the Independence Day speech by Prime Minister Narendra Modi NEW DELHI: As India is celebrating its 71st Independence Day today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his Independence Day speech from the ramparts of the iconic Red Fort, called for a "New India" that will be free of casteism, communalism, terrorism and corruption. Dressed in his trademark half-sleeved kurta and a turban, the Prime Minister arrived at Red Fort after paying tribute at the Gandhi Samadhi at Rajghat. Thunderous applause greeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi as his motorcade arrived at the Red Fort this morning, with thousands of people who had assembled there rising to catch a glimpse of him. PM Modi received a guard of honour before he unfurled the national flag. He went on to deliver a speech that lasted for almost an hour, before he celebrated with some children gathered at Red Fort. The celebrations were even more due to Janmashtami coinciding with Independence Day. We will create an India where the poor owns a house and has access to electricity and water. An India, where the farmer sleeps in peace and grows his income two-fold by 2022. An India, where the young women get opportunities in every field. An India, which is free of terrorism, corruption, dynasty politics, communalism and casteism. And finally, an India which is clean and healthy. Let's move together in this path of development. We are taking the nation on a new track (of development) and are moving ahead with speed. We are fighting corruption - for the bright future of India and the wellbeing of our people. We are devoting significant attention to eastern India - Bihar, Assam, West Bengal, Odisha and the Northeast. These areas have to grow further. Corruption will not be tolerated in the country. Everyone will be answerable. Black money worth Rs 2 lakh crore was recovered post demonetization. We have also cancelled the registration of as many as 1.75 lakh companies. We will not tolerate violence in the name of faith. Before freedom, the slogan was 'Bharat chhodo (Quit India). Today, it should be 'Bharat Jodo' (Bring India together). I want to mention those women who have to suffer due to 'Tripe Talaq'- I admire their courage. We are with them in their struggles. We are nurturing our youngsters to be job creators and not job seekers. We will continue our fight against black money, corruption and use technology to bring in more transparency. Neither gaali (abuse), nor goli (bullet) will bring a change. The change will take place when we embrace every Kashmiri. There is no question of being soft on terrorism or terrorists. India's stature in the world is rising. The world is with us in fighting the menace of terror. I thank all nations helping us doing so. GST has shown the spirit of cooperative federalism. The nation has come together to support GST & the role of technology has also helped. Those who have looted the nation and looted the poor are not able to sleep peacefully today. We have to leave this 'Chalta Hai' attitude. We have to think of 'Badal Sakta Hai'- this attitude will help us as a nation. In our nation, no one is big or small...everybody is equal. Together we can bring a positive change in the nation. 1st January 2018 will not be an ordinary day- those born in this century will start turning 18. They are Bhagya Vidhatas of our nation. Our country showcased a collective power between 1942 to 1947, let us show the same power and commitment over the next 5 years. We have to take the country ahead with the determination of creating a 'New India'. 2017 is a special year - this year we are celebrating the 75th anniversary of Quit India, 100th anniversary of Champaran Satyagraha and 125th anniversary of Ganesh Utsav. People of India stand shoulder to shoulder with those affected due to natural disasters and the tragedy in Gorakhpur. We remember the great women and men who worked hard for India's freedom. From Sudarshan Chakradhari Mohan to Charkhadhari Mohan, today we are celebrating both our cultural and historical heritage. PM Modi concludes his speech with chants of "Bharat Mata Ki Jai ... Vande Mataram ... Jai Hind".
