Take a pledge to make country self-reliant, Amit Shah exhorts citizens

New Delhi, October 2

Union Home Minister Amit Shah today exhorted people of India to take a pledge that they would take individual steps to make the country self-reliant and a powerful nation by the centenary year of independence.

The Home Minister said this consciousness of the public “will lead to constructive action” as envisioned by PM Narendra Modi through his schemes like “Atmanirbhar Bharat” (self-reliant India) and others.

Shah said this at a function held here at Red Fort from where he flagged off a 7,500-km car rally, undertaken by the National Security Guard (NSG) commandos.

He also flagged off a Central Armed Police Forces cycle rally that culminated here after criss-crossing more than 41,000 km of the country as part of the ongoing celebrations of India’s 75 years of Independence.

“If each one of the 130 crore citizen takes a pledge to take the country forward and work for its development then “we can make India self-reliant and position it as a powerful nation,” Shah added. — TNS
