Flag Hoisting Ceremony on the 76th Republic Day at the National Urdu Council…
New Delhi, 26 January: Democracy is a great blessing, and upholding and protecting it is our national duty. While democracy grants us numerous political and social rights, it also places certain responsibilities on us to ensure its survival and stability, which we must fulfill.
These thoughts were expressed by Dr. Shams Equbal, Director of the National Urdu Council, during the flag hoisting ceremony on the occasion of the 76th Republic Day.
He further said that today is not just a day to celebrate but also a day of introspection. On this day, we must evaluate our role in the nation’s development and take a pledge not to falter in fulfilling our national duties.
Dr. Shams Equbal emphasized that Urdu prose and poetry have played an extraordinary role in safeguarding Indian democracy. Our poets, journalists, and creators have historically contributed to awakening national consciousness and strengthening the spirit of patriotism.
The National Urdu Council is working at various levels to promote and propagate this language and is actively striving to take it to new heights. Earlier, a grand flag-hoisting ceremony was organized at the headquarters of the National Urdu Council in Jasola. Dr. Shams Equbal hoisted the national flag.
