Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay on Saturday hoisted the Tricolour at the state Secretariat in Chennai on the occasion of the 80th Independence Day and said true freedom can be achieved when caste and religious differences disappear and people come together. 

He also stressed the need to protect Tamil Nadu from bribery and corruption and build an honest and transparent administration.

Actor Trisha, Vijay's father Chandrasekhar, and Tamil Nadu ministers were also present at the



Independence Day function. Addressing the celebrations, Vijay said, "My warm Independence Day greetings to everyone. 

I pay my respects to each and every freedom fighter who sacrificed their lives for our independence." Vijay said, "When people realise that they are being treated like slaves, a sense of unity emerges among them. Everyone begins to come together. 

Caste barriers will break down, and when caste and religious differences disappear and everyone comes together, that is true freedom."
