Daughters must be brought forward – Meenakshi Lekhi
On this occasion, Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi said that if we want to take the country forward, we will have to take daughters forward. The Prime Minister of the country had told about four castes – poor, youth, women and farmers. If women progress then it should be understood that the entire society progresses. Meenakshi Lekhi said that every time women were left behind somewhere among the exploited, deprived and victims. Narendra Modi has done the work of bringing him forward. The biggest example of this is that the Prime Minister had started this fight from Panipat in 2014 by starting the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign and today in 10 years, 1020 daughters have been born against 1000 boys.
The country of 2047 belongs to daughters
Meenakshi Lekhi said that the attention of the people of the country has been drawn towards daughters and work has been done to advance the daughters. Everywhere, work is being done to advance daughters. An effort in that has been made today by Fairway Fairplay Charitable Trust. When the entire society comes together on some issue and stands in favor of daughters, then it should be decided that work has to be done. The country has seen the results of what was started from Panipat in 2014. And this generation is going to see the golden age of developed India in 2047. Meenakshi Lekhi said that if the daughter moves forward then the country will move forward. The country of 2047 belongs to daughters.
