President Ram Nath Kovind has asserted that India belongs to every group, community, religion, identity and individual as pluralism is its greatest strength and example to the world.
He said, Indian model rests on a tripod of diversity, democracy and development and the country cannot choose one above the other and it must have and it will have all these three.
In his address to the nation on the eve of 70th Republic Day, Mr Kovind described the recent Constitutional Amendment to provide special facilities for talented children from poorer families as another step to an India of our dreams and that of Mahatma Gandhi.
Highlighting the significance of next Lok Sabha polls, the President said, an election is not just a political exercise but a collective call to wisdom and action.
