In her message, the former IPS officer said, "over the years our country has become stronger, self sufficient and better integrated, thanks to the statesmanship of our leaders and the untiring toil of the people."
We should identify the forces inclined to divide and rule and everyone should take a pledge to keep divisive forces at bay."
He also wanted young children to be "taught the sacrifices the freedom fighters had made for the liberation of the country from foreign yoke."
