61st Independence Day Celebration - 2007
MESSAGE
On the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of our Independence , I extend my greetings and good wishes to the people of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Commemoration of the Independence Day reminds us of the great sacrifice made by our brave and courageous freedom fighters who got us independence from the colonial rule on this Day in 1947. I would like to remind my fellow citizens of Andaman and Nicobar Islands that the freedom fighters of our Islands played a monumental role in the freedom struggle. The Cellular Jail bears testimony to the heroic deeds and sacrifices of the immortal islanders who were incarcerated in the jail and actively participated in the freedom struggle.
On this solemn occasion let us pay tribute and homage to all those great men and women whose sacrifices brought us freedom. Let all of us take a pledge on this Day to uphold the honour and dignity of our country in the time to come. I am confident that our Islands will march on the path of progress and development in the years ahead and we shall be a proud member of the family of our great nation.
