To stay aware, informed and fight propaganda and misinformation; let’s unite as one to ensure each and everyone deserves a dignified, respectful life in our country. On this Republic Day, I urge you to reflect and work on your core values — and be rid of anything that comes from a place of hatred and indoctrination. As a people, each and every individual holds immense power to turn things around. Wield that power for the good of your fellow citizens, to ensure your government delivers safety and security to all. Remember to lead from a place of love! 🇮🇳”
