Imphal: Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla said that the state, with its rich cultural heritage, unity in diversity and indomitable spirit, has consistently played a significant role in strengthening the fabric of the nation.
In his Republic Day message, the Governor said that the courage, resilience and talent of the people of Manipur, particularly in the fields of sports, arts, culture and public service, continue to inspire the entire country. He said that Republic Day marks a historic moment when the Constitution of India came into force on January 26, 1950, establishing the nation as a sovereign, socialist, secular and democratic republic.
The day, he said, serves as an occasion to reaffirm unwavering faith in the constitutional values of justice, liberty, equality and fraternity, which form the foundation of the nation.
“As we celebrate Republic Day, let us collectively resolve to uphold the ideals enshrined in our Constitution, strengthen peace and harmony, and work with dedication towards inclusive development and social justice,” the Governor said.
He added that the occasion should renew the collective commitment to nation-building and to ensuring progress, dignity and equal opportunities for all citizens.
