Speaking after hoisting the National Flag, Mann emphasized that Punjab, the land of saints, gurus, and martyrs, has always stood as a beacon of communal harmony and brotherhood. He assured that the hard-earned peace in the state would not be disrupted and called on the public to join hands with the government to safeguard Punjab’s prosperity and unity.

The Chief Minister highlighted how some elements are trying to disrupt the peace but expressed pride that Punjabis have responded by strengthening ties of unity and goodwill. Mann also paid tribute to the Indian Constitution, drafted under the leadership of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, which came into effect on January 26, 1950, transforming India into a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic.
Reflecting on the country’s democratic journey over the past 75 years, Mann noted how India’s democracy has grown stronger with every passing day, as citizens exercised their voting rights fearlessly. “It is thanks to the sacrifices of our brave ancestors that we live in a sovereign nation today,” he said.
The Chief Minister recalled the immense sacrifices made by India’s freedom fighters and soldiers in defending the country’s sovereignty during wars in 1947, 1962, 1965, 1971, and the Kargil conflict. He assured that Punjab and its people remain committed to defending the nation’s honor and sovereignty.
