In his Diwali message to the nation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi conveyed heartfelt wishes while discussing India’s progress, unity, and resilience. He encouraged citizens to celebrate Diwali by supporting traditional Swadeshi products and promoting cleanliness and self-reliance. Modi’s message highlighted the theme of hope during Diwali, reflecting on India’s recent successes, including Operation Sindoor and the defeat of Naxalism in several districts. He called on everyone to contribute to building a developed and self-reliant India. Modi’s letter to the people included warm greetings for Deepavali, emphasizing its significance as a festival of joy and light. This year marks the second Deepavali since the consecration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
He drew parallels between Lord Ram’s courage and the spirit of justice demonstrated in Operation Sindoor, which symbolized India’s fight against injustice. This year’s celebrations are particularly special as lights will be lit in various districts, especially in areas previously affected by Naxalism and Maoist violence. Many individuals who once resorted to violence are now choosing the paths of peace and progress under the nation’s Constitution, marking a significant victory for the country. Alongside these achievements, India is making bold strides with next-generation reforms, including reduced GST rates that have benefited millions through the ‘GST Bachat Utsav,’ saving thousands of rupees nationwide. Amid global challenges, India stands resilient, moving towards becoming the world’s third-largest economy.
