‘Nation First, Always First’ theme for Independence Day celebrations

Olympic medallists invited to Red Fort

‘Nation First, Always First’ will be the theme of India’s 75th Independence Day celebrations at the Red Fort from where Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation on Sunday. All the Olympians who won medals at the 2020 Tokyo Games have been sent special invites for the event. Like 2020, this year’s event will be restricted for the public and no cultural performance will be staged by children. A group of NCC cadets will attend the event, said an officer. From paintings to floral arrangements, all aspects of the programme will bear ‘Nation First, Always First’ theme, said Delhi police sources.
