Union Minister of Culture, Tourism, and Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) Shri G.

“I convey my warm greetings and best wishes to all our citizens on the anniversary of Quit India Movement Day. The movement started with Gandhiji exhorting the countrymen with his powerful slogan, ‘do or die’ which infused new energy into our independence movement and eventually forced the British to leave India
in 1947,” said Naidu,

He said, Today, let us also rededicate ourselves to eradicating poverty, illiteracy, inequality, corruption and social evils like casteism, communalism and gender discrimination from India. Indian civilisation is rooted in the foundational values of ‘share and care'. This should be our guiding light as we foster harmony, brotherhood, mutual respect and shared responsibility in our society. We must remember that despite all the differences in the way we dress, the language we speak or the religion we practice, we are all Indians first and we should be proud of that. This beautiful land is for each and every one of us and we are together in this journey of creating a better tomorrow. Let us welcome our ‘Bharatheeyata’ back into our lives - be it in the use of our mother tongue, attire and respect for Indian traditions. Let us take strides together for a more inclusive, confident Atmanirbhar Bharat. Jai Hind!”.
