President's address Highlights: Freedom fighters made heroic sacrifices, says Kovind
New Delhi, Aug 14: President Ram Nath Kovind in his address to the nation on the eve of the 73rd Independence Day highlighted the changes that the country has undergone in recent years and remebered the sacrifices of the freedom fighters who fought for India's Independence.
President's address assumes significance in the wake of Centre scrapping Article 370 that gave Jammu and Kashmir a special status. President may speak on situation in Jammu and Kashmir, and relations with Pakistan which deteriorated after Article 370 was revoked.
Tomorrow, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will deliver his sixth straight Independence Day speech from the ramparts of Red Fort.
