Bharat Mata Is Voice Of Every Indian: Rahul Gandhi’s Independence Day Message

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi extended his wishes on the 77th Independence Day to the people of the country and referred to Bharat Mata as the voice of every Indian. Using the social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, the Congress leader stated, "Bharat Mata is the voice of every Indian! Happy Independence Day to all the countrymen."

Gandhi also shared his experience of the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra ’, mentioning that he commenced the 145-day walk at the ocean's edge and concluded amidst the snow-covered landscapes of Kashmir.

"Last year, I spent a hundred and forty-five days walking across the land I call home. I started at the edge of the sea and walked through heat, dust, and rain. Through forests, towns, and hills, until I reached the soft snow of my beloved Kashmir," he expressed.

He openly acknowledged the pain he encountered during his journey and the motivation that kept him going.

"Within a few days, the pain arrived. My old knee injury, one that hours of physiotherapy had banished, was back. A few days into the walk, my physio joined us, he came and gave me sage advice. The pain remained. And then I started to notice something. Every time I would think about stopping, every time I considered giving up, someone would come and gift me the energy to continue," he recounted.

"The Yatra progressed. But soon the numbers of people became so large, the pain so persistent that I started to observe and listen," he added.

In anticipation of the Independence Day celebrations, the Delhi Police bolstered security arrangements in the national capital.

Security personnel meticulously inspected vehicles as security measures were heightened across the national capital in view of the Independence Day celebrations.

Several iconic buildings and monuments in India were illuminated with Tricolour lights ahead of Independence Day.

The Old Delhi Railway Station , New Delhi Railway Station, and India Gate were lit up as the city immersed itself in the fervour of Independence Day.

This year's Independence Day will mark the culmination of the ' Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav ' celebrations, which were initiated by the Prime Minister from Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, on March 12, 2021. This celebration will once again propel the country into the era of 'Amrit Kaal', renewing the vigour to fulfil PM Modi's vision of transforming India into a developed country by 2047.

Numerous new initiatives have been launched to celebrate the 77th Independence Day, with a larger number of guests invited compared to the previous year.
