Gandhi Jayanti & Lalbahadur Shastri Jayanti

😊

In his first broadcast as Prime Minister, on 11 June 1964, Shastri stated:^[16]

"There comes a time in the life of every nation when it stands at the cross-roads of history and must choose which way to go. But for us there need be no difficulty or hesitation, no looking to right or left. Our way is straight and clear"the building up of a socialist democracy at home with freedom and prosperity for all, and the maintenance of world peace and friendship with all nations."---Salutations with respect and regard to a great soul !

Under his leadership India faced and repulsed the Pakistani invasion of 1965. It is not only a matter of pride for the Indian Army but also for every citizen of the country. Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri's slogan Jai Jawan Jai Kisan reverberates even today through the length and breadth of the country. Underlying this is the inner-most sentiments 'Jai Hindustan'. The war of 1965 was fought and won for our self-respect and our national prestige. For using our Defence Forces with such admirable skill, the nation remains beholden to Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri. He will be remembered for all times to come for his large heartedness and public service

Man can never be a woman's equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her.
Mahatma Gandhi
