Nations that remain connected with their roots that move ahead in development and nation-building: PM

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi today remarked that naming the islands in Andaman and Nicobar after our heroes is a way to ensure their service to the nation is remembered for generations to come. He added that nations that remain connected with their roots that move ahead in development and nation-building.

Responding to a post by Shiv Aroor on X, Shri Modi wrote:

“Naming the islands in Andaman and Nicobar after our heroes is a way to ensure their service to the nation is remembered for generations to come. This is also part of our larger endeavour to preserve and celebrate the memory of our freedom fighters and eminent personalities who have left an indelible mark on our nation.

After all, it is the nations that remain connected with their roots that move ahead in development and nation-building.

Here is my speech from the naming ceremony too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8WT0FHaSdU

Also, do enjoy Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Do visit the Cellular Jail as well and get inspired by the courage of the great Veer Savarkar.”
