The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today paid homage to the great freedom fighter Chandrashekhar Azad at his birthplace at Bhabra in Alirajpur District of Madhya Pradesh. The Prime Minister garlanded the statue of Shahid Chandrashekhar Azad and visited the memorial at his birthplace.

Addressing a public meeting, the Prime Minister recalled that Mahatma Gandhi had given the call for the British to Quit India – this very day. He urged to people to remember those who gave their lives so that we could breathe the air of freedom.

The Prime Minister said it is his privilege to have come to the birthplace of Chandrashekhar Azad. People like him inspire us to work for the nation, he added.

The Prime Minister said that all of us, who may not have got a chance to lay down our lives for the nation, should take the opportunity to live for the nation. The Prime Minister emphasized that a nation moves forward on the strength of its people, their aspirations, and their hard work.

The Prime Minister said every Indian loves Kashmir, and wishes to visit Kashmir. He said a few misguided elements were attempting to spoil the great traditions of Kashmir.

The Prime Minister said the Union Government wants to create employment opportunities for the youth of Kashmir. He appealed to the youth of Kashmir to come forward and move ahead with the vision of making Kashmir “heaven on earth.” He said Kashmir wants peace and the people of Kashmir want to earn more through tourism.

He said both the Centre and the J&K State Government are attempting to find a solution to all problems through development. He said former Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s vision of Insaniyat, Jamahooriyat, Kashmiriyat will be taken forward.

The Prime Minister said the need of the hour is for all of us to work together with a common resolve to take the nation to new heights. He said the Indian tricolour unites us, and inspires us to rewrite India's destiny.

The Prime Minister later flagged off the Tiranga Yatra to mark the launch of the 70th Freedom Year celebrations.

“பேரரசர் இரண்டாம் பெரும்பிடுகு முத்தரையரை (சுவரன் மாறன்) கௌரவிக்கும் வகையில் சிறப்பு அஞ்சல் தலையைக் குடியரசு துணைத்தலைவர் திரு சி.பி. ராதாகிருஷ்ணன் அவர்கள் வெளியிட்டது மகிழ்ச்சி அளிக்கிறது. ஆற்றல்மிக்க நிர்வாகியான அவருக்குப் போற்றத்தக்க தொலைநோக்குப் பார்வையும், முன்னுணரும் திறனும், போர்த்தந்திர ஞானமும் இருந்தன. நீதியை நிலைநாட்டுவதில் அவர் உறுதியுடன் செயல்பட்டவர். அதேபோல் தமிழ் கலாச்சாரத்திற்கும் அவர் ஒரு மகத்தான பாதுகாவலராக இருந்தார். அவரது அசாதாரண வாழ்க்கையைப் பற்றி அதிகமான இளைஞர்கள் படிக்க வேண்டும் என்று நான் கேட்டுக்கொள்கிறேன்.
