New Delhi, August 14 (ANI): A concerned President Pranab Mukherjee said on Friday that institutions of democracy in India are under threat, and added that correctives, if any, must come from within. Addressing the nation on the eve of the 68th anniversary of India's independence from British colonial rule, an apparently anguished Mukherjee, while extending warm greetings to all citizens and all Indians around the world, urged political leaders and their respective parties to think seriously about where they were taking the nation, and what they would leave behind for the next generation. The President said that the Constitution of India had given the most precious gift - democracy --, "which reshaped our ancient values into a modern context and institutionalized multiple freedoms."
