"विभाजन विभीषिका स्मृति दिवस पर उन सभी देशवासियों का हृदय से नमन, जिन्होंने उस वीभत्स दौर से निकलकर देश की प्रगति में अमूल्य योगदान दिया। उन्होंने अपने साहस और सामर्थ्य से दिखाया कि कैसे विपरीत परिस्थितियों में भी संकल्पों को सिद्ध किया जाता है। आइए, सद्भावना और एकजुटता की राष्ट्रीय भावना को और सशक्त करें।

उद्यमस्य प्रसादेन दृश्यन्ते विविधाः कलाः।
कातरा एव जल्पन्ति यद् भाव्यं तद् भविष्यति॥”
