We all individuals should understand what freedom is. God has given freedom to each of us to live in this wonderful world created by him. We have to fight evil, not criticize or complain about what others do but strive for the betterment of our country, and community. One has to make up their mind. Our country is in each of our hands. Do good and that’s our responsibility. Many developments have happened and many people have worked and sacrificed their lives. I wish each one of you a happy feast and Independence Day".
