Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated on Sunday that his government aims to establish a new India before the country's 100th anniversary of independence, after installing a hologram statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose at India Gate.
PM Modi also said “Netaji used to say 'Never lose faith in the dream of independent India. There is no power in the world that can shake India" “Today we have a goal to fulfil the dreams of an independent India. We have a target to build a new India before the 100th year of independence, 2047," he said
PM Modi expressed gratitude for his government's ability to declassify data connected to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. "Today, I pay tribute to all National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) personnel who lost their lives while serving the nation," he said.
He also encouraged people to continue forward in their lives by drawing inspiration from Netaji's "Can Do, Will Do" attitude, which he demonstrated by refusing to bow before the British. "Nothing could stop Netaji if he intended to do something. We also need to move further in our lives by taking inspiration from his 'Can Do, Will Do' spirit," he added.
Many citizens gave their lives in the war for freedom, yet efforts were made not to acknowledge their contributions in history, he said. "But today, the country is correcting those mistakes after decades of Independence," PM Modi added. Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, he stated, strives to revive India's identity and inspirations.
"It was unfortunate that efforts were made to erase the contribution of many great personalities in India after independence," PM Modi stated.
At India Gate, Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented a hologram of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. This hologram will remain in place until the Netaji statue is finished. The statue will be unveiled in the same location to commemorate Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's 125th birthday, which will be celebrated for a year.
