PM Modi: I repeat again, the Citizenship act is not to revoke anyone's citizenship, but it is to give citizenship.

PM said that Swami Vivekananda was not just a person, he was a lifestyle, he was a lifestyle. Swamiji is the inspiration of millions of people. Swamiji's dream was to change the whole of India. It is only through public service that the path of Lord's service goes out. Every youth of the country is part of Swamiji's resolve. It is our duty to carry out their resolve to achievement. I plan to serve 130 million Indians.

PM Modi said that India is the youngest population in the world. Millions of energetic youths are standing up to build a new India. India's youth is full of energy. India's youth have hope all over the world. So we have to combine our dreams with decades of resolve.

Last time when I came here, Guruji had taken the blessings of Swami Atmanasthan ji. Today they are not physically present among us. But his work, his path, will always pave the way for the Ramakrishna Mission: PM @narendramodi pic.twitter.com/isysimwFPd
