New Delhi: With his government facing heat on the issue of “intolerance”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said he proposes to put in place an “Ek Bharat, Shresht Bharat” scheme aimed at strengthening India’s unity and harmony and invited suggestions in this regard.
“Internal vigilance is the price of liberty. Unity of the nation - this culture should continue... On the occasion of Sardar Patel’s anniversary on October 31, I had talked about Ek Bharat, Shresht Bharat (One India, Supreme India) ... I want to give Ek Bharat, Shresht Bharat the shape of a scheme,” he said.
The PM asked people to give suggestions on the portal mygov.com on what should be its structure, the logo, and how to increase public participation. “It is expected to be a very specific scheme. Apply your creative mind and give suggestions as to how to connect each and every Indian with the mantra of unity and harmony,” he said in his programme.
