Tackling Misinformation: One of the key highlights of the Prime Minister’s address was his stern warning against rumors.

The Resilience of India: Drawing a parallel to the country’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, the PM noted that India’s collective resolve had helped it overcome one of the greatest challenges in human history. He stressed that the same spirit of discipline and awareness is required today to navigate the current geopolitical complexities.
