Droupadi Murmu

India is all set to celebrate the 75th Republic Day on Friday, January 26, with great enthusiasm. President Droupadi Murmu will unfurl the national flag on the Kartavaya Path. Here's how you can watch the parade live from your home.

During the address, President Murmu said, "Tomorrow is the day when we celebrate the commencement of the Constitution. Its Preamble begins with the words 'We, the People of India', highlighting the theme of the document, namely, democracy."

Two Police Medals for Gallantry (PMG) have been specifically awarded to BSF personnel for their remarkable contributions to peacekeeping, particularly as part of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO).

President Murmu's earlier letter had lauded PM Modi for the 11-day Anushthan and commended his commitment to the Pran Pratishtha ceremony at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple.

On Monday, the President of India, Droupadi Murmu, granted assent to the three criminal law reform Bills that replace the Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure, and Indian Evidence Act.

PM Modi accused the grand old party of obstructing Droupadi Murmu from becoming the President of India. He said, "You can't imagine how much Congress tried to stop Droupadi Murmu from becoming the first Tribal President of India], but it was the BJP which ensured this honor to her."

The journey to this milestone began with the Lok Sabha's approval on September 20, where an overwhelming 454 MPs voted in favor, while only 2 voted against, advocating for a sub-quota for women from the Other Backward Class (OBC) and minority communities.

The United Nations confirms its readiness to change India's name to Bharat in its records pending formalities, amidst controversy, and discusses India's pivotal role during its G20 presidency.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is expected to participate in the President’s G20 dinner amid the India-Bharat renaming row. The government has also extended invitations to former Prime Ministers Manmohan Singh and HD Deve Gowda.

The controversy came to light on Saturday when Udhayanidhi, speaking at a conference organized by the Tamil Nadu Progressive Writers Artists Association in Chennai, called for the eradication of Sanatana.
