For the unknown, the term "Agniveer" refers to the newly introduced cadre of young recruits in the Indian Army, part of the Agnipath scheme.
Adding a poetic note to the day’s reflections, Bachchan also quoted a poignant verse from his late father, the legendary poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan. In Hindi, he shared: "[T 5390 (i) - 'Who does he blame, And to whom should I tell my sorrow, When soil does injustice to soil' ~ Harivanshrai Bachchan." The emotional lines resonated with many of his followers.
