"Yesterday the whole world witnessed a historic milestone in India's cultural consciousness. The entire world and the entire humanity experienced the energy of Pran Pratishtha in the Ram temple...Today we are celebrating the birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose," the Prime Minister said.
He unveiled Bharat Parv 2024 on the occasion of Parakram Diwas at the Red Fort. "Netaji knew that slavery is not related to governance only but also is there in thoughts and deeds. Hence he focused on awakening the youth of that period," PM Modi said.
He said Bharat Parv will showcase the country's rich diversity."Today on Parakram Divas, Bharat Prav has also started from the Red Fort. In the next nine days, the diversity of the country will be showcased through Republic Day tableaux and cultural programs in Bharat Parv," PM Modi said.
