Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated Diwali this year with jawans stationed in Gujarat’s Kachchh region, a tradition he has upheld since taking office. His visit to the border area exemplifies his commitment to India’s armed forces, whom he calls the “guardians of peace and sovereignty.” Modi’s Diwali with the jawans not only boosted the soldiers’ morale but also resonated with Indians across the country, reinforcing the message of solidarity and respect for those defending the nation’s borders.
The event included a heartfelt speech where PM Modi expressed gratitude for the soldiers’ sacrifices, emphasizing the importance of national security, particularly along India’s border areas. Modi also distributed sweets and exchanged greetings with the personnel, making it a memorable Diwali for those serving in remote, challenging terrains. The gesture underscored his government’s dedication to bolstering morale and reinforcing India’s commitment to supporting its military personnel.
PM Modi’s annual tradition of celebrating Diwali with soldiers has become a symbol of national pride, further endearing him to the public. This year’s celebration in Kachchh was particularly significant, as India’s border relations remain complex, and the celebration served as a powerful reminder of unity and resilience.
