“Whenever I celebrate my Diwali with you all, my joy increases several times. This time, Diwali is special as Lord Ram has returned to his abode in Ayodhya after 500 years,” Prime Minister Modi was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
“I am proud of our soldiers who have shown their capabilities in every tough situation. While I am here in Kutch today, it is important to discuss about our Navy. The coast here in Gujarat is one of India’s biggest strengths. That’s why the coastlines here have to face the most number of threats from our enemies,” PM Modi added.
