During his address from the Red Fort on the occassion of 68 th Independence Celebration, Prime Minister termed himself as the prime servant and said that he is not here as not as a Prime Minister but as the Prime Servant.

PM bow to all freedom fighters who sacrificed and dedicated their lives for country’s independence.

He further said that Independence Day is an occasion to take a pledge for the welfare of all those who are down trodden, poor, exploited and oppressed and to do something for them.

Every action should be tested on the yardstick of national interest. If we resolve to live a life like that, the festival of Independence may become an inspiration to take India to new heights.

This country has been built not by the rulers but by farmers, workers, mothers and sisters, youth, sages and saints, teachers, scientists and social workers.

A child hailing from a small town and belonging to a poor family is today having the good fortune of bowing before India’s tricolour from the ramparts of the Red Fort. It is the power of India’s democracy and priceless blessing given by the authors of the Indian constitution. I bow to them.

Modi said that all Prime Ministers of the country have contributed to the progress of the country after independence. Likewise, all Governments of the country as well as state Governments have also contributed.

He added that let us move together, think together, resolve together and unitedly take the country forward.125 crore countrymen have taken the country forward with this credo. He said that we are not among those who function on the strength of majority. We want to move forward on a strong base of consensus.

On the occasion, prime minister greet all Members of Parliament and all political parties from the ramparts of the Red Fort with pride. We ended the Parliament session yesterday with an important experiment of taking the nation forward with strong consensus.
