New Delhi, Jan 26: At a Republic Day function organised by an NGO: Utsav Foundation in Gurughram, Senior advocate of Supreme Court of India Ashok Bhan, who was the chief guest at the event said,
"Today, as we proudly unfurl our Tricolour, we celebrate Republic Day, the day when India became a sovereign, democratic republic on 26th January 1950. On this historic day, our Constitution came into force, giving us the rights and freedoms we enjoy today."
Bhan said,. The National Flag is not just a piece of cloth.but a symbol and strength of our Nation’s pride and strength
The saffron stands for courage and sacrifice• the white for truth and peace
the green for hope and growth,
and the Ashoka Chakra reminds us to always move on the path of duty and justice.
Bhan said , "Dear students, Republic Day teaches us that freedom comes with responsibility. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and other Constitution-makers gave us a powerful document, but they also trusted future generations—you—to protect its values.
Being a good citizen does not start when we grow up.
"Let us take a silent pledge today to be disciplined, responsible, and proud Indians—and to work hard for a stronger, united India.
On this Republic Day, we pledge to uphold the values of our Constitution, respect our National Flag, follow the path of truth and discipline, and work sincerely for the unity, integrity, and progress of our nation," he said.
