He said that the “collective singing of the national anthem Vande Mataram further increases the flame of patriotism in the heart.”
“Our nation is full of diverse sects, castes, languages, traditions and cultures. Our Constitution, which came into force on 26 January 1950, awakens the feeling of nation first among the citizens of the country by weaving all these diversities into the thread of unity. The Constitution has given us many rights, due to which our country is known as the largest democratic country,” CM Dhami said.
The Chief Minister said “Tomorrow is going to be a historic day for everyone. Tomorrow the law of Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is going to be implemented in the state of Uttarakhand, which is a matter of pride for all. This Ganga of equal citizens will go from Uttarakhand to the whole country.”

He said that under the able leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, “our country is moving towards establishing itself as a developed nation by 2047. India’s economy has become the fifth largest economy in the world and is moving towards becoming the third. India is moving ahead leaving behind the big countries of the world in the fields of education, health, science, research manufacturing etc. The Indian Army has become stronger than before. India’s stature is also increasing rapidly at the global level.”
