Lok Sabha Speaker Shri Om Birla issued a ceremonial greeting to citizens on the eve of Raksha Bandhan, describing it as a festival celebrating mutual love, affection, and trust between brothers and sisters. The message characterizes the festival as a symbol of India's rich culture, family values, and unbreakable bonds of affection, noting that it represents not just a ritual of protection but a celebration of trust, respect, love, and lifelong commitment. Birla emphasized that the brother-sister relationship is considered one of the purest relationships without selfishness or conditions, where brothers consider sisters' happiness and safety their responsibility while sisters pray for brothers' success and well-being.
The Speaker expanded the concept of protection beyond physical safety to include protecting women's respect, dignity, rights, and dreams, stating that only when every daughter and sister is safe, respected, and confident can the nation become truly stronger and empowered. In contemporary times, Birla called for preserving love, trust, and open communication within families, respecting elders, providing equal opportunities to daughters, and strengthening brotherhood, harmony, and unity in society as fundamental Indian values and strengths.
