Mann ki Baat: 'This Independence Day, we saw collective might of nation', says PM Modi

The PM also asserted that colours of Amrit Mahotsav were seen not only in India, but also in other countries of the world. Local singers living in Botswana sang 75 patriotic songs to celebrate 75 years of India's independence.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday addressed the nation in his Mann ki Baat and lauded the countrymen's participation in the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign this Independence Day and asserted that it showed the collective might of the nation.

During his monthly radio programme 'Mann Ki Baat', PM Modi said, "In August, all your letters, messages and cards have soaked my office in hues of the tricolor. I have hardly come across any letter which does not carry tricolor or does not talk about the tricolor and Freedom."

"People came up with different innovative ideas for the tricolor campaign. A Puzzle artist has created beautiful tricolor mosaic art in record time. Assam govt employees created a 20 feet tricolor," he added.

The PM also asserted that colours of Amrit Mahotsav were seen not only in India, but also in other countries of the world. Local singers living in Botswana sang 75 patriotic songs to celebrate 75 years of India's independence.

Talking about the Amrit Sarovars, PM Modi said, "You will remember, in #MannKiBaat , I had talked about #AmritSarovar four months ago. After that, local administration got active in different districts, voluntary organizations came together & local people connected, construction of Amrit Sarovars became a mass movement."

"#AmritSarovarAbhiyan not only solves many of our problems today; it is equally necessary for our coming generations. I urge all of you, especially my young friends, to actively participate in the Amrit Sarovar campaign," PM Modi added.
