While mentioning the bilateral tensions all across the globe, the US Congressman marked the India-US friendship as a very significant relationship.
He said, “We see the threat from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Currently, there is so much instability across the globe and also instability in the Indo-Pacific area, and a strong relationship is so important with India.”

The Prime Minister will hoist the national flag and deliver his customary address to the nation from the ramparts of the historic monument.
Around 1,800 people from all walks of life and from all across the country have been invited to the major commemoration event in the national capital as distinguished guests.
The Independence Day celebrations this year will mark the end of the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ celebrations, which were launched by PM Modi from Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, on March 12, 2021, and will usher in the ‘Amrit Kaal’, which will end with the completion of 100 years of independence in 2047.
