New Delhi: PM Narendra Modi addressed the nation through the radio programme Mann Ki Baat from 11 am today (Sunday). The PM today addressed the 82nd edition of Mann Ki Baat. In today's programme, Prime Minister Modi congratulated the countrymen for the 100 crore vaccination. PM Narendra Modi said, "My dear countrymen, greetings to all of you. Greetings to the people. And, I am also speaking because after 100 crore vaccine doses, today the country is moving ahead with new enthusiasm, new energy.''

At the same time, the PM said that dear countrymen, at present, we are remembering the brave sons and daughters of the country in the Amrit Mahotsav. Next month, on 15th November, the birth anniversary of such a great man of our country, the brave warrior, Lord Birsa Munda, is coming up. Lord Birsa Munda is also known as 'Dharti Aba.' Do you know what it means? This means the father of the earth. The way Lord Birsa Munda fought to protect his culture, his forest, his land, he could only do the earth. He taught us to be proud of our culture and roots. How much threats and pressures the foreign regime made to him, but he did not give up on tribal culture.

He further said that I have also come to know about many sisters of the Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir. These sisters are working to stitch the tricolour for the army and government offices in Kashmir. This work is full of patriotic spirit. I admire the spirit of these sisters. You must also do something for the unity of India, for the superiority of India. See how much satisfaction your mind gets. Prime Minister Modi said that the month of October is being painted in the colours of festivals and Diwali is coming a few days from now. After Diwali, then Govardhan puja will be then Bhai-Dooj, these three festivals will be there. This will also lead to Chhath Puja. November is also the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev. You may all be planning a purchase from now on, but you remember shopping, that is, 'Vocal for Local.'

Not 100 crore but only 23 crore doses have been given in the country, I have proof: Sanjay Raut
