INDEPENDENCE DAY PLEDGE India achieved independence thirty-eight years ago on this day, as a result of great sacrifices and self-denials made by freedom-fighters and martyrs. The struggle to free the country's masses from poverty and deprivation started from that day-keeping UNITY the target for this vast sub-continent inhabited by people of various caste and creed. The evil forces of separatism and communal feeling are impeding our progress and endangering the integrity of the country and its people. As an outcome of the right policies followed by The Left Front Government, West Bengal is free from the danger of the sundering forces. In this atmosphere of amity and unity, let us take the vow of bringing into being a new West Bengal—hand in hand with brothers from all caste, religion and language. Let us strive for fulfilling the objectives—emancipation from poverty, ensuring health for all, installation of new industries, spread o^ education among masses, upkeep of national unity and healthy culture, despite our limited resourced and various obstacles through the concerted effort of the Goveiaiment and the people. Let this be our Independence Day pledge. GOVERNMENT OF WEST BENGAL 4081 ICA Advt
