Ahmedabad: Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the government's achievements under Prime Minister Narendra Modi have “surprised the entire world", as he flagged off the ‘Tiranga Yatra’ here and called upon the youth to come forward and strike and make India a developed nation by 2047.
“The Har Ghar Tiranga campaign started by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has become an expression of patriotism and resolve to create Viksit Bharat by 2047. He said that this campaign is infusing a new energy not only in Gujarat but also in the entire country,” Shah was quoted as saying in a government statement.
Ahead of Independence Day, the minister underlined Prime Minister Narendra Modi's initiative to celebrate ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’, saying three goals were behind it. “ The first goal was to remind every child, youth, and citizen of the country about the entire history of the freedom struggle. The second goal was to inform all citizens, especially the younger generation, about the achievements made by the country in 75 years of independence.”
“The third objective was to make 140 crore citizens of the country pledge to make India winner in every field in the world by working towards the development of the country for the next 25 years of ‘Amrit Kaal’ till the centenary of India’s independence,” Shah said.
Hailing the prime minister's leadership, he recalled Modi's decisive moves against terrorism and Naxalism in the country. “India was afflicted with terrorism and Naxalism for decades, but Modi ji has given a befitting reply to the enemies of the country by conducting surgical strikes and air strikes. Along with this, Modi ji has protected 130 crore countrymen from COVID-19 by administering both doses of the vaccine free of cost using technology,” he added.
“As per the vision of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the youth of the country need to come forward especially to achieve the resolution of making the country fully developed by 2047,” he added.
