Republic Day 2025 video: On Sunday, the 76th Republic Day, President Draupadi Murmu hoisted the tricolour on the dusty path. Before the celebrations started, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also visited the War Memorial to pay tribute to the martyrs.
This year, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto was the chief guest on Republic Day. Remember that Sukarno, the first President of Indonesia, was the chief guest at India’s first Republic Day celebrations in 1950.
On the other hand, Indians present in Britain on the occasion of Republic Day have responded to Khalistani supporters. Khalistani supporters raising slogans against India on the occasion of Republic Day celebrations in London clashed with Indian people.
Talking to news agency ANI, a person from the Indian community said – We had gathered here at the High Commission to celebrate the 76th Republic Day. We saw that Khalistani supporters were seen gathering outside and protesting against India and our sovereignty. After that, they responded to their demonstration in unity.
Insulted the tricolor flag
At the same time, another person said that we had reached the Indian High Commission to hoist the flag on Republic Day. There, we saw some Khalistan supporters gathering outside the High Commission and insulting our Indian national flag. The person further said, “These actions do not affect our country. Even though our numbers are less, our courage is greater than theirs, and we will fight until the last breath.”
