On the occasion, Ramdev exhorted the governments and the people of the country to make India strong by adopting ‘swadeshi’ (made in India) products. “We have to take the country forward. India needs to be stronger in all aspects, be it economy or education. We must come out of mental slavery,” he asserted, adding that India would soon have its rightful place in the world.
Talking about Hindi and other Indian languages, the Yoga guru said that the country’s languages must get their due respect and should be promoted over the foreign languages. “Whether it’s Hindi, Sanskrit, or any other Indian language, they should be given due importance,” he said, adding that we don’t oppose any foreign language as such.
He said Patanjali would be a partner with PM Modi in materialising his aim of Viksit Bharat by 2047.
