Corruption hollows country like a termite: PM Modi on 85th Mann Ki Baat

India Blooms News Service | @indiablooms | 30 Jan 2022, 01:07 pm

New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday addressed the 85th edition of Mann Ki Baat where he noted that the present government is striving to make India a corruption-free country.

"Corruption hollows the country like a termite. Why wait for 2047 to get rid of it? All of us countrymen, today's youth have to do this work together, as soon as possible and for this, it is very important that we give priority to our duties. Duty is paramount, corruption cannot even think of entering there," he said.

Modi said in the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, the country is re-establishing its national symbols through several efforts.

"We saw that the 'Amar Jawan Jyoti' near India Gate and the Jyoti lit at the 'National War Memorial' in the vicinity, were merged. There were tears in the eyes of many countrymen and martyr families on this emotional occasion," he said.

At the 'National War Memorial', the names of all the brave hearts of the country who have been martyred since Independence have been inscribed.

"Some former soldiers of the army have written to me saying that - "The 'Amar Jawan Jyoti' lit at the memorial is a symbol of the immortality of the martyrs". Truly, like 'Amar Jawan Jyoti' our martyrs, their inspiration and their contribution are also immortal," he said.

"I would urge all of you to certainly visit the 'National War Memorial' whenever you get an opportunity. Do take along your family and children too. Here you will feel a different energy and inspiration," said the Indian PM.
