‘The Rajmata proved that public service, not royalty, is most important for
public representatives,’ said Mr Modi paying tributes to the great personality.
The Prime Minister released commemorative coin of Rs 100 in honour of the
Rajmata via video conferencing as part of her birth centenary celebrations.
PM Modi said Rajmata was the queen of a
royal family, but she struggled to protect democracy, spending significant
periods of her life in prison.
‘We are witnesses to what she endured during the Emergency. There have been
many occasions when posts were offered to her but she turned down with
humility,’ he said in his address.
‘We are witness to what she endured during the Emergency. Rajmata lived life by
connecting with the common people, the poor, and dedicated her life to them.
‘It is necessary to take inspiration from Rajmata Ji’s life journey, her life’s
message is relevant for today’s generation, so it is necessary to talk about
him again and again’: he said.
He said, ‘Once Atal ji and Advani ji had urged her to become the president of
the Jana Sangh but she chose to serve the Jana Sangh as an activist.’
Mr Modi said it is also a wonderful coincidence that the struggle she had
fought for the construction of the Ramjanmabhoomi temple, her dream has also
been fulfilled in the year of her birth centenary.
‘A strong, secure, prosperous India was Rajmata’s dream. We will fulfill these
dreams with the success of a self-reliant India. Rajmata’s inspiration is with us,
her blessings are with us,’ he said.
PM Modi maintained that by making a law
against Triple Talaq, the country has taken forward Rajmata Scindia’s vision of
women empowerment. (uni) (media saheb.com)
