On the occasion, while speaking to ANI, Dhankhar urged people to rise above ego, hatred and become healthy and happy in life.

"May we rise above ego, hatred, revenge, and jealousy, and become healthy and happy in life. I prayed for our country's progress and prosperity," said former Vice President.

The Former Vice President also expressed his gratitude for the sacrifice of farmers and army personnel towards the country.
