Today, on the 125th Jayanti of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee, I bow to one of India's most remarkable nation-builders, whose life was defined by scholarship, courage and an unwavering commitment to national service. He dedicated himself to the cause of India's unity, dignity and progress.
Dr. Mookerjee's contributions spanned diverse spheres. He was an outstanding thinker and educationist, who supported innovation and futuristic learning. As Industries Minister, he laid the foundations of industrial self-reliance while ensuring that traditional sectors and livelihoods flourished. His humanitarian efforts during the Bengal Famine reflected his profound compassion for those in distress. Above all, his steadfast commitment to the unity and integrity of India remains an enduring source of inspiration.
As we move forward in our journey towards a Viksit Bharat, his vision continues to illuminate our path.
कारगिल युद्ध में अद्वितीय पराक्रम का परिचय देने वाले, परमवीर चक्र से सम्मानित कैप्टन मनोज कुमार पांडेय की जयंती पर विनम्र श्रद्धांजलि।
कारगिल की चोटियों पर लिखा गया आपका शौर्य भारत की वीरगाथा का अमिट अध्याय है।
राष्ट्र आपके त्याग और बलिदान का सदैव ऋणी रहेगा।
Deeply saddened by the devastation caused by the severe earthquakes in Venezuela.
On behalf of the people of India, I extend our heartfelt condolences to the Government and people of Venezuela, especially to the families who have lost their loved ones. We pray for the speedy recovery of those injured and stand in solidarity with all those affected during this difficult time.
India stands ready to extend all possible assistance.
संविधान हत्या दिवस आज हमें उस काले दौर की याद दिला रहा है, जब भारतीय लोकतंत्र को बुरी तरह से कुचला गया था। यह हमें लोकतंत्र, संविधान और नागरिक अधिकारों की रक्षा के लिए हमेशा प्रतिबद्ध रहने को प्रेरित करता है। आपातकाल का विरोध करने वाली सभी विभूतियों को सादर नमन।
स्वातन्त्र्यात् सुखमाप्नोति स्वातन्त्र्याल्लभते परम्।
स्वातन्त्र्यान्निर्वृत्तिं गच्छेत् स्वातन्त्र्यात् परमं पदम् ।।

Today, we pay homage to all those who steadfastly defended democratic values during one of the darkest chapters in India’s history, the Emergency.
The Emergency was a direct assault on our Constitution. It witnessed the suspension of civil liberties, curbs on freedom of expression, arrests of political leaders, journalists, social workers and an assault on institutions that are the bedrock of our democracy.
At the same time, it also revealed the extraordinary courage of countless citizens who refused to remain silent and upheld the ideals enshrined in our Constitution.
For all of us, our Constitution is an embodiment of the aspirations, rights and duties of 140 crore Indians. We reaffirm our collective commitment to safeguarding constitutional values. Guided by the spirit of our Constitution, we will build an India that remains ever committed to justice, liberty, equality and fraternity.

I am Deeply humbled and profoundly grateful, and truly honored to be conferred with the Padma Shri.
My heartfelt gratitude to the Government of India for bestowing upon me one of our nation’s highest civilian honors. I am equally thankful to the Government of Maharashtra for recommending my name and placing their faith in my journey. This recognition is something I will cherish for the rest of my life.
To every person who watched my films, embraced my characters, celebrated my successes, forgave my shortcomings, and stood by me through the years—this honor belongs as much to you as it does to me. Your affection has been the driving force behind every milestone in my life and career.
Today, I also feel a deep sense of responsibility. This recognition reminds me that every privilege carries with it a greater duty—to uphold the values of integrity, humility, and excellence; to contribute meaningfully to the world of cinema that has given me everything; and to serve my country in whatever way I can.
I dedicate this honor to the magical world of cinema, to every artist and technician who has walked alongside me and to my family who have been my strength…
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Jai Hind. 🇮🇳🙏😊

The celebrations reflected the Indian Army's ethos of discipline, resilience and wellness, while reinforcing Yoga's role in promoting a healthy lifestyle and enhancing operational effectiveness.
