"Will Always Inspire Us": PM Remembers Nehru's 'Tryst With Destiny' Speech

The Prime Minister was tracing the 75-year journey of the old Parliament building

The echo of Jawaharlal Nehru's historic 'A tryst with destiny' speech in Parliament will continue to inspire the country's elected representatives, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today.

The Prime Minister was tracing the nearly eight-decade journey of the old Parliament building that has also been the country's journey following its Independence from British rule.

Addressing the nation on August 15, 1947, the country's first Prime Minister Nehru had said, "At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom."
