"On this day, we pay our heartfelt homage to the brave martyrs of Jallianwala Bagh. Their sacrifice stands as a powerful reminder of the indomitable spirit of our people. The courage and determination they displayed continue to inspire generations to uphold the values of liberty, justice and dignity.”

“ ਅੱਜ ਦੇ ਦਿਨ, ਅਸੀਂ ਜੱਲ੍ਹਿਆਂਵਾਲਾ ਬਾਗ਼ ਦੇ ਸੂਰਬੀਰ ਸ਼ਹੀਦਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਦਿਲੋਂ ਸ਼ਰਧਾਂਜਲੀ ਭੇਟ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਾਂ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੀ ਸਾਡੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੇ ਕਦੇ ਨਾ ਝੁਕਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਜਜ਼ਬੇ ਦੀ ਮਜ਼ਬੂਤ ਯਾਦ ਦਿਵਾਉਂਦੀ ਹੈ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਵੱਲੋਂ ਵਿਖਾਇਆ ਗਿਆ ਹੌਸਲਾ ਅਤੇ ਪੱਕਾ ਇਰਾਦਾ, ਆਉਣ ਵਾਲੀਆਂ ਪੀੜ੍ਹੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਜ਼ਾਦੀ, ਇਨਸਾਫ਼ ਅਤੇ ਮਾਣ-ਸਨਮਾਨ ਦੀਆਂ ਕਦਰਾਂ-ਕੀਮਤਾਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਪਹਿਰਾ ਦੇਣ ਲਈ ਲਗਾਤਾਰ ਪ੍ਰੇਰਿਤ ਕਰਦਾ ਆ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ।”

“जलियांवाला बाग नरसंहार के सभी अमर बलिदानियों को मेरी आदरपूर्ण श्रद्धांजलि। विदेशी हुकूमत की बर्बरता के खिलाफ उनके अदम्य साहस और स्वाभिमान की गाथा देश की हर पीढ़ी को प्रेरित करती रहेगी।

इन्द्रं वर्धन्तो अप्तुरः कृण्वन्तो विश्वमार्यम्।
अपघ्नन्तो अराव्णः॥"

O industrious people! Nurture those benevolent forces within your society that make the nation prosperous, aware and self-reliant. At the same time, firmly resist the destructive forces that create division, injustice and discontent in society.
