Message
of the President of India on the eve of the New Year
On the eve of the New
Year 2013, in a message, the President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee has said
“We mark the advent of the New Year under a pall of gloom, as the nation mourns
the tragic loss of a brave young girl, who became the victim of a heinous crime.
Let us dedicate 2013
to improving the security and welfare of women in our country. Let us use this
moment to introspect and earnestly seek ways in which we can address the
mindset which lies at the root of such incidents in order that we may achieve
dignity and equality for women in our country.
I extend my greetings
and best wishes to all my fellow citizens for a purposeful and productive New
Year which takes our nation forward to a better future. Let us strive hard to
fulfill our unrealized dreams with vigour and determination”.
