Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday addressed the 109th edition of the monthly radio show ‘Mann Ki Baat’, the first this year (2024). He hailed women’s power in various fields including sports, self-help groups, defense forces, etc.
“This time the parade of 26th January was very amazing, but the most talked about thing was seeing Women Power in the parade, when on the duty path, women contingents of Central Security Forces and Delhi Police started marching, everyone was filled with pride,” he said.
The Prime Minister also talked about Lord Ram and how the Ram Mandir inauguration in Ayodhya touched millions of hearts in India.
He said, “Everyone’s feelings are the same, everyone’s devotion is the same, Ram is in everyone’s words, Ram is in everyone’s heart. During this time, many people of the country sang Ram Bhajan and dedicated themselves at the feet of Shri Ram.”
“The rule of Lord Ram was also a source of inspiration for the makers of our Constitution and that is why on January 22 in Ayodhya, I had talked about ‘Dev to Desh’, ‘Ram to Nation’,” PM Modi added.
Additionally, PM Modi also lauded women forces for their contribution to the Republic Day parade this year. “This time 13 women athletes have been honored with the Arjuna Award. These women athletes participated in many big tournaments and hoisted the flag of India.”
“…This year marks 75 years of the Indian Constitution, as well as the Supreme Court… The Constitution of India is made after such intense brainstorming, that it is called a ‘Living Document’. In the third chapter of the original copy of the constitution, the fundamental rights of the citizens of Bharat have been described,” he added.
In his broadcast, Modi said many people honored with Padma awards recently were those who worked at the grassroots and away from the limelight to make big changes.
“I am very happy that the system of Padma awards has transformed completely in the last decade. Now it has become people’s Padma,” he said.
