The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today handed over the Bangladesh Liberation War Honour to the family members of former Prime Minister, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee - Shri Ranjan Bhattacharya, Smt. Namita Bhattacharya, and Ms. Niharika Bhattacharya.
External Affairs Minister Smt. Sushma Swaraj was present on the occasion. Shri Narendra Modi had received the Honour on behalf of the former Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, during his recent visit to Bangladesh.
The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi said that courage is the greatest strength of a nation. He noted that it inspires the country to remain united even in the face of difficult challenges and to move steadily towards progress, prosperity and self-reliance.
The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-
“चलन्ति गिरयः कामं युगान्तपवनाहताः।
कृच्छ्रेऽपि न चलत्येव धीराणां निश्चलं मनः।। ”
The Subhashitam conveys that even mountains, lashed by tempestuous winds, are shaken and set in motion at the time of dissolution; yet amid the gravest trials, the mind of the steadfast remains unwavering and undisturbed.
The Prime Minister wrote on X;
“धैर्य किसी राष्ट्र की सबसे बड़ी शक्ति है। इससे कठिन चुनौतियों के बीच भी देश को एकजुट रहने के साथ ही प्रगति, समृद्धि और आत्मनिर्भरता की दिशा में निरंतर आगे बढ़ने की प्रेरणा मिलती है।
चलन्ति गिरयः कामं युगान्तपवनाहताः।
कृच्छ्रेऽपि न चलत्येव धीराणां निश्चलं मनः।।”
