Nobody should have to prove their patriotism: PM

In 1946 Dr Ambedkar had said, "it is easy to give power but it is difficult to give vision."


Ethics Committee had to be formed. I am not criticising anyone. Members of the Committee will have to keep reminding us.


On August 14 Dr Radhakrishnan said, from tomorrow we cannot blame British, whatever we do we will be responsible for it.


Let us resolve to change the situation and it is not yet so late to do that.


We are a young country with majority of population under 65. There is no reason to feel let down.Sambhaav and Mambhaav both are needed.


Country will run only when there is equality and love. No one needs to prove his patriotism, neither is there any reason to do so.

I am thinking of a programme. 'Ek Bharat Shreshtra Bharat'. It is just a thought. People in South think we impose Hindi on them. Can we ask 36 states to organise Kerala Mahotsav next year. And in Chhattisgarh, we teach Malayam alphabets. Later, why not a Malayalam festival in Chhattisgarh. Similarly, one state connects to another state. If we can do this slowly, we can stay united.


We have to imbibe that feeling of being one.

I would like to quote Max Muller today. He had said, "If I look across the world where nature has given money, power and beauty, if there is any heaven on earth I will point towards India."


I once again thank members from my heart. We can create laws and try to take society forward.I bow before Basaheb Ambedkar and all those who contributed to the framing of the Constitution.
