Our tricolor is a living symbol of the struggles and sacrifices of our ancestors over the years: CM Sai

Raipur. Our tricolor is a living symbol of the struggles and sacrifices of our ancestors for years. We will always maintain the pride of the tricolor, never forget our immortal martyrs and together we will build a developed, prosperous and strong Chhattisgarh. Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai today participated in the Independence Run organized at Marine Drive in the capital Raipur and addressed the program. During this, he ran the Independence Run with thousands of youth and garlanded the statue of Bharat Mata and immortal martyr Rani Durgavati and paid homage to them. Chief Minister Sai said that the aspirations of crores of Indians are contained in the tricolor and it is an indelible consciousness of our bravery, peace and prosperity.
Saluting the sacred tricolor, Sai said that on the call of our country’s illustrious Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the whole country becomes tricolor on Independence Day for the last few years. He said that for the last few days, we all are celebrating this holy day with enthusiasm in different ways. Tiranga Yatras and the resolve to hoist the tricolor in every house have connected this holy occasion with the people. The Chief Minister said that this Tiranga Yatra is not just an event, but a living symbol of our unity, integrity and national pride. He said that Independence Day reminds us that freedom is the invaluable gift of countless sacrifices. Millions of patriots sacrificed their lives, only then we got this freedom.
The Chief Minister said that today’s special occasion reminded me of my childhood days. When I was in school, Prabhat Pheri used to be taken out on Independence Day, patriotic songs used to resonate in every village. He said that the pride that was felt at that time, the same pride is still in our hearts. The Chief Minister said that today it is our responsibility to take our country and state to new heights of development. We have prepared a developed Chhattisgarh Vision Document for the year 2047, and our government is working accordingly. This is a common resolution of all of us along with the government. Chief Minister Sai wished everyone present on this occasion a Happy Independence Day in advance.
In the program, Sports and Youth Welfare Minister Tankaram Verma said that the Independence Run is not just a race but a response to the struggle for independence. The country got independence due to the sacrifice of brave sons. Going with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi of a developed, clean, healthy and great India, our Chief Minister has also cherished the dream of a developed and prosperous Chhattisgarh. He said that we should take a pledge to give our invaluable contribution to fulfill this dream.
