PM Modi Invites Citizens To Share Ideas For Independence Day Speech
Taking to his X handle, PM Modi wrote: "As we approach this year's Independence Day, I look forward to hearing from my fellow Indians! What themes or ideas would you like to see reflected in this year's Independence Day speech? Share your thoughts on the Open Forums on MyGov and the NaMo App..."
This annual invitation to the public has become a hallmark of PM Modi's Independence Day preparations, reinforcing the idea of participatory democracy.
The Prime Minister has consistently used feedback from citizens to shape the content of his national addresses, often highlighting grassroots success stories, innovation, youth achievements, and policy suggestions that reflect the pulse of the nation.
The MyGov platform, launched in 2014, has become a key channel for such interactions between the government and the Indian public. The NaMo App, the Prime Minister's official mobile application, also serves as a direct medium for people to engage with government initiatives and campaigns.
As India stands at the threshold of its 79th year of independence, this year's celebrations are expected to be marked by themes of national unity, technological progress, and a vision for the future as the country approaches its 80th year of freedom in 2026.
Citizens can now visit the MyGov website or use the NaMo App to submit their ideas and messages. Selected thoughts may find a place in the Prime Minister's Independence Day address, an opportunity for Indians from all walks of life to have their voices echoed from the historic Red Fort.

'If you want to browbeat...': Jennifer Welch says Trump voters should be banned from Indian, Chinese, Mexican restaurants
Actor Jennifer Welch made a rant against the supporters of President Donald Trump and said they should be banned from all Mexican, Chinese and Indian restaurants in the US and should only eat at Cracker Barrel instead as they target migrants. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'I've had it with white people that triple Trumped that have the nerve and the audacity to walk into a Mexican restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, an Indian restaurant, go to a gay hairdresser,' Welch said on her podcast. 'If you want to triple Trump, if you want to brow beat DEI, if you want to brow beat gay people, you want to brow beat black people as you have been doing for hundreds of years… White people that triple Trumped should be boycotted, banned from enjoying the best thing that America has to offer, which is multiculturalism." 'Get your fat a**es out of the Mexican restaurant. Get your fat a**es over at a Cracker Barrel because nobody wants to see your f**king smug a**, teeny weeny pink arm, big gut around.' The meltdown drew flak as social media users called her "unhinged and delusional", though Democrats praised her. 'It's always the most intolerant and hateful pretending to love everyone,' one person commented on the clip. "Jennifer Welch needs a history lesson. Republicans ended slavery and gave citizenship to freed slaves, Democrats voted 0% for both. People of color just helped kick Democrats out of the White House," Rep. Dwayne Yunker said.
