NEW DELHI Incapsulating the past, the present and the future that the country is looking towards, Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his almost twohour-long speech in Parliament, put across 11 resolutions (Sankalp) to guide the future development of the nation and to ensure governance based on inclusivity and responsibility.
PM Modi was speaking on the 75th anniversary of India's Constitution in the Lok Sabha on Saturday.
The PM, emphasizing the collective responsibility of citizens and the government to adhere to their duties in strengthening democracy, stressed that the benefits of progress should reach every community and region, upholding the principle of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas (Collective Effort, Inclusive Development). PM Modi called for zero tolerance towards corruption and urged the nation to reject its social acceptance, while emphasizing pride and respect for the nation's laws and regulations. He highlighted the need to eradicate the colonial mindset to promote self-reliance and progress.
The Prime Minister also advocated for freeing Indian politics from dynastic control (parivaar-vaad) to encourage broader participation and bring fresh perspectives. Respect for the Constitution was underscored as paramount, ensuring equality and justice for all. While guaranteeing that existing reservations for SC/ST communities remain protected, he firmly opposed any reservations based on religion. Additionally, the PM highlighted women-led development as a key driver to making India a global example. He emphasized that the development of individual states should directly contribute to the prosperity of the entire nation. Finally, he called for unity and excellence under the vision of Ek Bharat, Shrestha Bharat (One India, Best India), urging collective action toward creating a progressive and inclusive India.
