Presidential address on the eve of Independence Day

Following is the text of President Pratibha Devisingh Patil's address to the nation on the eve of the 65th Independence Day:

"As I speak to you on the eve of our 65th Independence Day, I extend my warmest greetings to all of you living in India and overseas. To the members of our Armed Forces and Para-military forces who guard our frontiers, and our internal security forces, I extend special greetings. Our independence was won on the principles of truth and non-violence. It is this, as well as the transformational impact it had in other parts of the world, that makes our freedom struggle exceptional.
With these words, I wish all citizens the very best on the occasion of Independence Day."
