Celebrate I-Day with honour, pride, take pledge for developed India: PM Modi

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called upon citizens to observe India's 80th Independence Day with honor, pride, and enthusiasm, while also promising to strive for a developed India. During the NDA's weekly 'Mangal Milan' meeting in Parliament, each member of Parliament waved tricolor flags and chanted songs praising Bharat Mata and Vande Mataram.

Modi further encouraged citizens to join the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign, urging them to display the tricolor at every household and take a pledge for a prosperous India. The Prime Minister expressed his gratitude by honoring Finance Minister Sitharaman for her speech in the Rajya Sabha the previous day, where she criticized opposition MPs regarding two bills, Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026, and Bankers’ Books Evidence Bill, 2026.
