INDIAN prime minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday (27) asked his party Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) members of the parliament to mark the 75th anniversary of India’s independence by organising programmes in every village of their respective constituencies, minister of state for parliamentary affairs Arjun Ram Meghwal said.
According to sources, Modi also asked the lawmakers to expose the opposition parties by convincing people that while the government is ready fir talks, they are not.
Addressing the BJP’s parliamentary party meeting, the prime minister said that celebrations to mark the 75th anniversary of the country’s independence should not be just a government programme and rather be a people’s movement with their participation, Meghwal told the media after the meeting.
Modi reportedly asked the parliamentarians to set up a team of two-party workers in each segment of the assemblies under their constituencies which will organise programmes and seek suggestions and ideas from people on how they would like to see India in 2047, the year the country will complete 100 years of independence.
The prime minister told the lawmakers that these teams of two workers will visit 75 villages in each constituency and spend 75 hours in each of them, Meghwal added.
Modi also suggested that the 75 years of independence can be celebrated by organising local sporting events and cleanliness drives.
