आज रामायण के रचयिता महर्षि वाल्मीकि की जयंती है। आज मेरी दादी श्रीमती इंदिरा गांधी जी का बलिदान दिवस है।
दादी ने ही मुझे वाल्मीकि जी की शिक्षाओं से परिचित कराया था। वाल्मीकि जी की शिक्षाएं मुझे वंचित समाज की आवाज उठाने एवं उनकी न्याय की लड़ाई में साथ देने के प्रेरित करती हैं। pic.twitter.com/AKssJbjVf7
