The President said, "We owe a great debt to our freedom fighters. It is time to repay that debt, by building the country that freedom fighters envisioned."
Quoting Bose, he said, "In the words of Netaji, “Nationalism is inspired by the highest ideals of the human race, Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram”."
"Let us all collectively endeavour to build a flourishing and prosperous India," President Mukherjee said.
" Let noble thoughts come from all directions should be the spirit behind debate in this temple of democracy."
