32nd edition of Mann Ki Baat: Highlights

In his 32nd edition of ‘Mann ki Baat’, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday spoke on several topics, which ranged from remembering India’s freedom fighters to urging youngster to conserve the environment.

He also conveyed his greeting on the start of Ramzan to people across the world.

“India’s cultural diversity is her strength. 125 crore Indians can take pride that people belonging from all communities of the world are present in India who reverberate the message of Shanti (peace), Ekta (unity) and Sadbhavna (goodwill),” PM Modi said on his monthly radio show.

He said that in India, people practising idol worship, people who did not follow idol worship, atheists and people believing in God are all living in peace and harmony.

“People from all over India were imprisoned in the cellular jail. Veer Savarkar’s role in India’s freedom movement cannot be forgotten. His book ‘Mazi Janmathep’ gives insights about his struggle for freedom when he was imprisoned in the cellular jail,” he said while paying tribute to Veer Savarkar.

He also talked about the conservation of the environment.
“Our ancestors’ conserved nature, we must show the same compassion towards future generations,” he said.

Stressing on the need of cleanliness in our society, the Prime Minister said, “We must focus on waste management.”

“We shouldn’t see this garbage as waste but wealth. And once we start doing that we would be able to find out several innovative ways of waste management,” he said.

Lauding the “Clean India” campaign, he said, “Swachhata has become a mass movement today. It has generated a spirit of competitiveness between the cities. Media too has played a vital role in furthering the message of cleanliness.”

PM also said about an interesting suggestion he received for the upcoming Yoga Day, that since this being the third yoga day, he said it will be great if three generations of a families come together to practice yoga on that day.
