April 16, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi said that with the special session of Parliament commencing today, the country is set to take a historic step towards women empowerment. He noted that respect for mothers and sisters is respect for the nation, and with this spirit, the country is moving forward with firm resolve in this direction.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Shubhashitam-

“व्युच्छन्ती हि रश्मिभिर्विश्वमाभासि रोचनम्।
ता त्वामुषर्वसूयवो गीर्भिः कण्वा अहूषत॥”

व्युच्छन्ती हि रश्मिभिर्विश्वमाभासि रोचनम्।

ता त्वामुषर्वसूयवो गीर्भिः कण्वा अहूषत॥”
