01:02In 1875, I would like to say that these words always inspire me and also remind me that
01:11Bharat is not just a nation, it is a living legacy of sacrifice.
01:16In 1875, Sri Bankim Babu coined two words about our motherland, Vande Matram.
01:26In 1908, a boy of 18, Kudhir Amboz, walked to the gallows and final words on his lips as the
01:33noose tightened were Vande Matram.
01:36When Veer Savarkarji endured the back-breaking torture of the cellar jail in Kalapani,
01:42every lash of the tyrant's whip was answered not with a cry of Vane Matram, but with a fearless cry
01:48of Vande Matram.
01:50The body may have been chained, but the spirit of Bharat remained unconquered, Mavad.
01:55When Sri Chandrasekhar Ajatji made his final stand in Alfred Park, Allahabad,
02:01choosing death over surrender, his final declaration to the universe was Vande Matram.
02:06The great revolutionary from my hometown, Narsipatnam, in Andhra Pradesh,
02:12the land forever associated with the legendary Alluri Sita Rama Raju.
02:17The empire shot him, tied to the tree and shot him point blank.
02:22The cry before his death was Vande Matram.
02:25That is the sentiment that we have for this Vande Matram, Mavad.
02:29The empire gave him bullets, but Bharat gave him its gratitude,
02:34because recently our Prime Minister Narendra Mohdiji has come to Andhra Pradesh
02:40and bowed his head to that freedom fighter Alluri Sita Rama Raju.
02:44I rise today with you, Milita Mohdiji.
02:46One second, Mavad.
02:47Just one minute, just one minute.
02:49Please conclude my...
02:50And I would like to remind the immortal words of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayeeji.
02:58Please.
02:58Please.
03:12We have to all go together.
03:14That is the spirit of Bharat.
03:16Not stopping, not bending, not breaking, but moving forward together,
03:19because this nation does not rise its fragment.
03:22It rises when its people rise together.
03:24I would like to thank Narendra Mohdiji for adding the two stanzas in that Vande Matram.
03:33I would like to thank the Prime Minister for that.
03:35I would like to thank my leader Chandra Babanaita Ji, Nara Lokesh Ji for getting this Mavad.
03:40And one more important point, Mavad.
