India, Sept. 17 -- The Government of India issued the following news release:

Bharat Mata ki Jai! Bharat Mata ki Jai! Bharat Mata ki Jai!

Narmada Maiya ki Jai! Narmada Maiya ki Jai! Narmada Maiya ki Jai!

Governor of Madhya Pradesh Mangubhai Patel Ji, the popular Chief Minister of this state, Mr. Mohan Yadav ji, my colleague at the Centre, sister Savitri Thakur ji, all the Union Ministers, Governors of the states, Chief Ministers of the states who are becoming a part of this program from every corner of the country, all other dignitaries present on the stage and my dear brothers and sisters of the country!

I bow at the feet of Vagdevi, the goddess of knowledge and mother of Dhar Bhojshala. Today is the birth anniversary of Lord Vishwakarma, the god of skill and construction. I bow to Lord Vishwakarma. Today, on the occasion of Vishwakarma Jayanti, I respectfully salute crores of brothers and sisters who are engaged in nation building with their skills.

Friends,

This land of Dhar has always been a land of valour, a land of inspiration. The valour of Maharaja Bhoj...perhaps we either do not hear it there or do not see it. No matter how far you are, I understand what is in your heart. If the technicians here can help them in any way, they should do so, otherwise these are people from Madhya Pradesh, they are very disciplined. Even if there is inconvenience, Madhya Pradesh has always had the nature of tolerance, and I am seeing it here too.

Friends,

The bravery of Maharaja Bhoj teaches us to stand firm to protect national pride. The sacrifice of Maharishi Dadhichi gives us the resolve to serve humanity. Taking inspiration from this legacy, today the country gives top priority to the security of Mother India. The terrorists who came from Pakistan had destroyed the sindoor of our sisters and daughters; we have destroyed the terrorist hideouts by conducting Operation Sindoor. Our brave soldiers brought Pakistan to its knees in the blink of an eye. Just yesterday, the nation and the world witnessed another Pakistani terrorist tearfully recount his ordeal.

Friends,

This is the new India, it is not afraid of anyone's nuclear threats, this is the new India, it enters the house and kills.

Friends,

Today, September 17th, marks another historic occasion. On this day, the nation witnessed an example of the steely resolve of Sardar Patel. The Indian Army restored the pride of India by liberating Hyderabad from many atrocities and protecting its rights. Many decades have passed since this great achievement of the country, and that achievement, this great bravery of the army, no one was there to remember it, but you gave me the opportunity, our government has immortalized 17th September, Sardar Patel, the incident of Hyderabad. We have begun celebrating this day, a symbol of India's unity, as Hyderabad Liberation Day. And today, Liberation Day is being celebrated with great pomp in Hyderabad. Hyderabad Liberation Day inspires us, nothing is greater than the honour and glory of Mother India, if we live then it should be for the country, every moment of our lives should be dedicated to the country.

Friends,

Our freedom fighters, vowing to die for the nation, dedicated everything to the nation. Their dream was a "developed India," a dream they saw as a nation that would break free from the shackles of slavery and move forward at a rapid pace. Today, with this inspiration, we 140 crore people of India have resolved to make India developed. And the four most important pillars of this journey towards developed India are - India's women power, youth power, poor and farmers. Today, in this program, work has been done to give new strength to these four pillars of developed India. A large number of my mothers, sisters and daughters have come here. Women's empowerment has been given great attention in today's event. This program is taking place in Dhar, but it is for the entire country, for the entire nation, for the mothers and sisters of the entire nation. A grand campaign of 'Healthy Women-Empowered Family'
