Amit Shah said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is celebrating the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav and Modi has not only associated this Amrit Mahotsav with Independence, but has also made it multidimensional.
120 people, including 10 women, are proceeding on a 75-day tour of the country on 75 motorcycles as part of the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav. These motorcyclists will travel through 34 States and Union Territories, including six international borders, travel to more than 250 districts and travel a long distance of 18,000 km in 75 days, promoting the AzadikaAmritMahotsavat 75 important places and will return to the national capital.
This effort will definitely prove to be successful in strengthening national unity and in taking the objectives of AzadiKaAmritMahotsav to the people. This journey will also be successful in conveying the message of ‘Fit India’ to the youth.
Freedom Motor Riders will take the message of Unity in Diversity to the country and connect with the youth by taking out small bike rallies in the Statea or cities they will be visiting. A commendable effort has been made to connect thousands of youth with this programme.
When they return to Delhi on November 24, a new energy will surely reach the youth. The lives of all these motorcycle riders will also change after getting to know the country, traveling 18,000 kms and coming in contact with different languages, foods and clothing.
