Lucknow, 15 Aug

(HS): On the 79th Independence Day, on Friday, the Varanasi district

administration organized various programs under the 'Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan'

at Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Krida Sankul located at Bada Lalpur. State Labour and

Employment Minister Anil Rajbhar, who was present as the chief guest in the

main program, after hoisting the flag, saluted the heroes who sacrificed their

congratulated the brave soldiers who keep us safe by constantly standing on the

borders of the country. He reiterated the sentiment of Prime Minister Narendra

Modi that nation remains first. On this occasion, Anil Rajbhar said that Veer

Bhagat Singh was hanged at the age of just 23. This freedom has not been

achieved just like that, this freedom has been achieved after a lot of

struggle. It is the full responsibility of all of us to maintain it. He said

that the real salute to the brave sons will be when our country becomes

completely self-reliant. When the youth and farmers of the country will be

completely prosperous, then in the real sense it will be a true tribute to our

brave sons. Today India has become the fourth economy of the world, we have

left behind those who kept us as slaves for 200 years. The minister reiterated

Prime Minister Modi's concept of self-reliant and developed India and said that

the day this becomes possible, India will again become a golden bird.

trillion dollars and Uttar Pradesh's economy touches 6 trillion dollars, that

day our country and Uttar Pradesh will become a developed nation. In the
