New Delhi, Aug 25 (IBNS): President Ram Nath Kovind on Saturday wished the nation on the occasion of Raksha Bandan and said let the spirit of festivity create universal respect for the security and dignity of women, especially of girl children.

“On the auspicious occasion of Raksha Bandhan, I extend my warm greetings and good wishes to all my fellow citizens in India and abroad," the President said in a statement.

"Raksha Bandhan is a celebration of the unique relationship between brothers and sisters. Tying of a Rakhi symbolizes love, affection and mutual trust between sisters and brothers. May the spirit of this festival strengthen fraternal feelings, and inspire us to live in a society defined by universal respect for the security and dignity of women, especially of girl children," Kovind said.

Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated across India on Sunday.
