New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to celebrate Diwali with the jawans at the Jaisalmer border post, as per sources.
There are also reports that claimed that the Prime Minister may go to Bhuj in Gujarat instead of Jaisalmer on the occasion.
In 2019, PM Modi had visited Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district to celebrate Diwali with jawans deployed at the Line of Control (LoC).
Here is what PM Modi said in 2019
“Our country was partitioned… lakhs died and became refugees. But we have no ill-will against them (Pakistan). But they hatched a conspiracy to take over Jammu and Kashmir. Our brave soldiers foiled their plans and today we are proud to have it as part of India. They managed to capture some part of it, they have occupied it illegally – it still stings us.”
“There is an attempt being made by terrorists who control PoK to disrupt and prevent normalcy from being attained. What we’ve been seeing is killing of apple traders and drivers from outside the state ferrying apple crop, preventing of shops from opening, the threatening of children from going to schools… all this is the part of the narrative of terrorists.”
While interacting with our soldiers, I thanked them on behalf of the people of India for their monumental service. Their vigilance and valour keeps our nation safe!
I also spoke about the major steps our Government is taking for the welfare of soldiers. pic.twitter.com/wG4yPn43Tg
