We should walk together, work together and progress together. We should move ahead with this mantra.

I believe that solution to all problems is in development. Development is also the solution to the tension that people talk about.

I want to ask parents, when daughters turn 11 or 14, they keep a tab on their movements. Have these parents ever asked their sons where they have been going, who they have been meeting? Rapists are somebody's sons as well! Parents must take the responsibility to ensure that their sons don't go the wrong direction.

A son of a poor man is standing in front of you today. This is the strength of a democracy.

The path of violence has not yielded anything. Shed guns and adopt the path of peace, unity, goodwill and brotherhood.

It is a tribute to Indian democracy that a person from a poor family, an ordinary family, is today addressing the nation from the Red Fort.

India seeks friendly relations but without compromising on its interests.
