Modi’s Address To The Nation

The Prime Minister addressed the nation at 2 PM after the multi-faith prayer meeting.  He expressed his happiness after laying the foundation stone for the new Parliament building.

He said that this will mark the beginning of a self-reliant India. As India got independence in 1947 but the decision-making process of the country was still held from the old parliament building which was made by the British.

Therefore this new building will remind everyone that India is truly independent now. Modi added that every work that is being done now should be envisioned to 2047 when we will mark 100 years of independence. He added that it should be everyone’s vision to see India reaching several milestones by 2047 so that it can stand as completely independent, self-reliant and thus prove to be the ideal example of the biggest and the most successful democracy.
