Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Tuesday, reiterated that the whole world has witnessed that the new India neither fears, nor stops, nor bows before terrorism.
Addressing an event commemorating the 350th Shaheedi Diwas of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji at Kurukshetra in Haryana, on Tuesday, Modi said India speaks of fraternity to the world while also defending its borders.
While India desires peace, it never compromises on its security, the prime minister said, citing Operation Sindoor as the greatest example for this.
According to Modi, today’s India is moving forward with full strength, courage, and clarity.
The PM said today has come as a remarkable confluence of India’s heritage, as in the morning he was in Ayodhya, the city of the Ramayana, and now he is in Kurukshetra, the city of the Gita.
Claiming that his government has had the privilege of giving the sacred sites associated with the Gurus the most magnificent and divine form, Modi said over the past decade, there have been many occasions when he personally became part of events linked to the Guru tradition.
Emphasising that the government has sought to connect every pilgrimage site of the Gurus with the vision of modern India, Modi further noted that whether it was completing the work of the Kartarpur Corridor, constructing the ropeway project at Hemkund Sahib, or expanding the Virasat-e-Khalsa Museum at Anandpur Sahib, all these tasks have been undertaken with full devotion, keeping the glorious tradition of the Gurus as the guiding ideal.
