Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended Deepavali greetings to the people of India on Tuesday, drawing a parallel between the teachings of Lord Ram and India’s recent military operation, Operation Sindoor. In a letter addressed to the nation, the Prime Minister said that the operation exemplified the country’s resolve to uphold righteousness and avenge injustice – values central to Lord Ram’s life and message.
“This is the second Deepavali after the grand construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Lord Shri Ram teaches us to uphold righteousness and also gives us the courage to fight injustice. We saw a living example of this during Operation Sindoor, when Bharat not only upheld righteousness but also avenged injustice,” said PM Modi.
