Addressing the nation through his monthly radio programme 바카라˜Mann Ki Baat바카라™, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the country witnessed many sad events during Republic Day this year, in an apparent reference to the violence that broke out during the farmers바카라™ tractor rally, earlier this week.
Citizens across the country were very pained to see the tricolour being dishonoured on January 26, Modi said.
Clashes broke out between security personnel and protesting farmers in the national capital on January 26, when a group of farmers hoisted religious flags atop the Red Fort.
During his 30-minute long address the PM also lauded 바카라˜unsung heroes바카라™ who have been recently honoured with the Padma awards.
Meanwhile, talking about the Covid-19 vaccination drive, Modi said, "in just 15 days, India vaccinated more than 30 lakh corona warriors when other countries like the US and UK took a longer time."
India became Aatmanirbhar (self-reliant) during the coronavirus crisis as our ongoing vaccination drive will ensure that every citizen of the country is administered the Covid-19 jab, the PM added.
The Prime Minister also said that there바카라™s been a major shift in people바카라™s perspective during the last one year regarding products manufactured in India. A lot of customers are now demanding 바카라˜Made In India바카라™ products and people have shown their support for the 바카라˜Vocal for Local바카라™ campaign, Modi said.
Today바카라™s episode marks the 73rd episode of the PM바카라™s radio programme. This comes just a day ahead of the presentation of the Union Budget for 2021-22 by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
This is also the PM바카라™s first 바카라˜Mann Ki Baat바카라™ after farmers in the national capital stepped up their protests against the Centre바카라™s agriculture legislations.
