He added that the song ‘Vande Mataram’ had spread the spirit of unity, courage, and sacrifice among the masses. It transcended regional and linguistic boundaries during the freedom struggle and united people across the country under a common cause.
Balbir said that even today, the emotional and patriotic power of the song continues to resonate with the people of India.
He urged all citizens, especially the youth, to actively participate in this celebration programmes, to understand, adopt, and proudly sing both the National Anthem and the National Song. He stressed that engaging with such symbols of national identity is vital to maintaining a strong sense of belonging and unity in a diverse nation like India.
