In his Independence Day message shared on X, Sandhu asked people across the country — from the capital to every village and town — to unite with a renewed resolve to build a stronger, more prosperous and developed India, advancing the mission of ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’.

“As our sacred Tiranga soars proudly across every corner of Bharat, we bow in eternal gratitude to the brave martyrs whose supreme sacrifices won us our freedom,” Sandhu said.
