New Delhi, Nov 22 (IBNS) President Mukherjee on Tuesday said that the nation owe a lot to freedom fighters while quoting Subhas Chandra Bose and urged the citizens to build a better country, the one they envisioned.

The President said, "We owe a great debt to our freedom fighters. It is time to repay that debt, by building the country that freedom fighters envisioned."

Quoting Bose, he said, "In the words of Netaji, “Nationalism is inspired by the highest ideals of the human race, Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram”."

"Let us all collectively endeavour to build a flourishing and prosperous India," President Mukherjee said.

" Let noble thoughts come from all directions should be the spirit behind debate in this temple of democracy."

President Mukherjee also condemned obstructive behaviour and said that one should not hinder growth by doing so.

"Democratic temper calls for debate and discussion, and not disruption or obstruction."

He said that the Parliament reflects the supreme will of people.
