00:00The country in which we are citizens also has pride, self-respect and self-honour.
00:06This pride, self-respect and self-honour is probably the reason why people have this feeling.
00:11We will sacrifice our lives, but we will protect the borders of our country.
00:16This is the thought that comes to their minds.
00:20When we did not have freedom,
00:23at that time, Chandra Shekhar Raja, Sardar Bhagat Singh and Asfa Kulla,
00:27like the soldiers, laughingly,
00:30sacrificed their lives to cut the ropes of the mother India.
00:35What was that inspiration,
00:37which gave them the feeling of sacrificing their lives?
00:43That was the inspiration of pride, self-respect and self-honour.
00:47The pride, self-respect and self-honour of the country,
00:50for which they sacrificed everything.
00:53Chandra Shekhar Raja, in the company garden of Allahabad,
00:56while firing his revolver bullets at his British enemies,
01:00when the last bullet of the revolver was left,
01:03he started worrying that the foreign bullets of the foreign revolvers
01:08might enter his body and make it impure.
01:12That is why he took the last bullet of his revolver
01:16and went to India and got freedom.
01:20Who can forget Asfa Kulla Khan?
01:23He was 21 years old.
01:25His mother wanted him to get married.
01:28But Asfa Kulla had the passion to get freedom in his heart.
01:33He kept avoiding his mother's insistence.
01:37But when he was hanged for killing the British,
01:42the magistrate asked him,
01:44Tell me Asfa Kulla, what is your last wish?
01:47Whatever your last wish is,
01:49this message will be conveyed to your mother.
01:52Asfa Kulla was brave.
01:55Asfa Kulla Khan, the richest man in the world,
01:58smiled and said,
02:00My mother's last wish was for Asfa Kulla to marry her son.
02:05Today I am standing here.
02:07Go and convey this message to my mother
02:10that your son is going to stand on the throne of death
02:15to fulfill your wish.
02:17This was the feeling of self-respect.
02:19This was the feeling of true self-respect.
02:21Chandrasekhar Raja, Sardar Bhagat Singh,
02:23there are innumerable such people
02:25who were inspired to do their best for the country.
02:28And I believe that in the security of our country,
02:31those who have given their lives,
02:33those who have decided to join the army,
02:36they also have this feeling of true self-respect
02:39which inspires them.
02:41They know that our lives can be lost at any time.
02:44And even though they understand this truth,
02:47they join the army.
02:49They sacrifice themselves.
02:51For the security of India's prosperity and glory,
02:54they do their duty well here.
02:58Today, if I am present here on Veterans Day,
03:01I bow my head to all the veterans
03:04and all their family members.
03:06Where I salute them,
03:08if I am present here among all of you,
03:11those who are not among us today,
03:13those who have dedicated everything
03:15for the security of the country's borders,
03:18their memory,
03:21their memory,
03:23I want to salute them once again.
03:26Friends, there are many things.
03:29I will not go into detail.
03:31But as far as veterans are concerned,
03:33the government has taken many steps for veterans.
03:36I don't want to say that whatever steps the government has taken,
03:39whatever decisions the government has taken,
03:42those are enough.
03:45It is possible that more steps are needed.
03:49But all those steps,
03:51whether it is one rank, one pension,
03:53there are many other things.
03:55I have discussed them in front of you.
03:57I don't want to take much time in this regard.
03:59But one thing,
04:01in the new year,
04:03when there was a meeting of volunteers,
04:05I gave an instruction,
04:07that our government has taken an important decision
04:09to have doorstep delivery
04:11of mobile medical units and medicines
04:13for the convenience of veterans
04:15and their families
04:17who live in remote areas.
04:20And the necessary instructions
04:22have also been given by us.
04:24Preparations have begun.
04:26It will take some time.
04:28But we will start this process
04:30of doorstep delivery.
04:32We want to reassure you about this.
