VIJAYAWADA: Chief Justice of India (CJI) N.V. Ramana said one should not forget one’s hometown, motherland and mother tongue. He was addressing residents of his native village, onnavaram in Krishna district, on Friday.
People gave a grand welcome to the CJI by carrying him in a decorated open bullock cart and felicitated Justice Ramana and his wife.
Justice Ramana said he had a special relationship with Ponnavaram and that he remembered that the teachers took care of students affectionately. He said that being united was the best solution for all problems. He stated that many people in Delhi talked about the greatness of Telugus and lauded famous buildings built in their states.
Getting nostalgic, the Chief Justice revealed that though his father used to be a Communist Party sympathiser, he used to like the ideology of the Swatantra Party while talking about political ideologies and leaders from his village. He said though the country was progressing, several problems were still persisting. He advised people to be united to fight those problems.
The CJI said he never forgot his motherland and made clear that he would work in such a way to show the fame, superiority, and greatness of Telugus to the nation.
