In his previous talk, PM Modi had recalled the contribution of B.R Ambedkar in the making of India’s constitution.

“Our Constitution safeguards the rights of the poor and weaker sections of society. Our constitution is a vast document. It’s our constitution day. It’s obvious that we are reminded of Baba Saheb Ambedkar and his immense contribution towards the construction of a great document. We pay our heartfelt tributes to him,” said PM Modi.

The Prime Minister had urged farmers to lessen urea use and exhorted humanitarian forces to unite against terrorism.

Remembering the victims of 26/11 Mumbai attacks. “For over 4 decades, India has been raising the issue of terror. Initially, the world did not take us seriously but now the world is realizing the destructive aspects of terrorism. We must unite to tackle this menace,” PM Modi said in his speech which coincided with the 9th anniversary of the terror attack that left 160 people dead.

“India is the land of Lord Buddha, Lord Mahavira, Guru Nanak, Mahatma Gandhi. We believe in non-violence. “Terrorism is a threat to humanity,” the PM said. “Every countryman salutes the courage and sacrifice of our soldiers. Armed Forces Flag Day, observed on 7 December, is a day to show our respect to the country’s Armed Forces,” added PM Modi.

The programme will be streamed on the YouTube channels of the Prime Minister’s Office, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and DD News.

Akashwani will broadcast the programme in regional languages immediately after the Hindi broadcast.
