PRIME Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday recalled how Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave a rallying call for 'swaraj' (freedom) and exhorted people of the country to unite again for the vision of Viksit Bharat (developed India).

"As unity was essential for attaining Swaraj then, today unity is crucial for a Viksit Bharat. Today, we have to be united to create a developed India. With the inspiration of Netaji, we all have to come out of our comfort zone to build a developed India," Modi asserted on the occasion of Netaji's Jayanti.

The Prime Minister cautioned citizens about forces attempting to weaken the country.

Emphasising India's unity under the inspiration of Netaji, he said, "We have to be cautious of those who want to weaken the country, who want to break the unity of the country."
