Pricey Fellow Indians,
Zindabad!
In latest many years, the place is witness to the developing risk of communal fascism, leading to anxiety, hatred, divisions & violence. Evidently the quite founding concepts drawn from the values and morals of our flexibility motion led by Mahatma Gandhi, are underneath continual really serious assault. The vituperative and hateful speeches towards Mahatma Gandhi, and the concepts that he stood for are in fact a matter of nationwide disgrace.
The open danger of genocide towards the Minorities, are a trigger of great concern for all Indians who are dedicated to a present day democratic constitutional republic.
In reality, today, these incredibly proper-wing communal forces, equally belittle our quite liberty wrestle and insult the memory of the lakhs of martyrs who sacrificed their life.
