Prime Minister Briceno congratulates India on 75 years of Independence

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Today, Prime Minister of Belize, John Briceno extended congratulations to India on the celebration of 75 years of Independence.

“India received its independence in 1947. India won its freedom from British colonial rule in 1947, after many decades of struggle. Mohandas Gandhi, known as Mahatma Gandhi, joined the fight in 1914 and led the country to independence, using his method of nonviolent protest known as satyagraha,” Briceno stated.

In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the Independence Day celebrations from the ramparts of the Red Fort in New Delhi. 

“Our tricolour is waving in its full glory not only in India but in every corner of the world,” PM Modi said.

“During our freedom struggle, there was not one year where our freedom fighters did not face brutality and cruelty. Today is the day when, as we pay them our respects, we need to remember their vision and dream for India,” he added.
