New Delhi: As India celebrates 75 years since Independence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday hoisted the Tricolour at the Red Fort and addressed the nation on the occasion.
While addressing the nation for the ninth time from the historic ramparts of Red Fort, Prime Minister Modi paid tribute to freedom fighters and COVID-19 warriors. He also addressed issues of corruption, dynasty politics, and respect for women in the country.
Corruption and dynasty politics: Modi while indirectly hitting out at the opposition’s nepotisim addressed the issue of ‘parivaarwad’ and ‘bhai-batijawad’ in his speech and asked the people to help eradicate this.
Modi said that the talent will be the basis for the progress of new India. “To cleanse every institute of India, let’s shift our mentality from ‘bhai-bhatijawad’ and ‘Parivaarwad’ and give an opportunity to the citizens who deserve it,” he said.
“Corruption and dynasty politics are two of the biggest challenges before India. We need to fight against corruption with full might”, said PM Modi in his speech.
