In his last speech as the President, Mukherjee had expressed his concern about increasing violence and how darkness, fear and mistrust was at the heart of this violence. Power of non-violence has to be resurrected to build a caring society to ensure participation of all sections of the people, he said. This could be the theme of his speech at the RSS convention today.
All religions must co-exist and that unity in diversity will be his general theme.
There is no humiliation more abusive than hunger. Trickle-down theories do not address the legitimate aspirations of the poor. We must lift those at the bottom so that poverty is erased from the dictionary of modern India.”
However, then, too, Mukherjee`s faith in secularism is reflected in the solitary line on the topic when he said: “Our social harmony is the sublime co-existence of temple, mosque, church, gurudwara; they are symbols of our unity in diversity.”
Note: This is taken from the old speech when Pranab was the President.
