Mangalore Today News Network

New Delhi, Oct 30, 2016 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation on his ‘Mann ki Baat’ programme on All India Radio on Sunday.

 

Our festivals are linked closely to the nature...the food, weather, everything about a festival is so symbiotic.

The festival of Diwali is celebrated across the world.

World leaders are celebrating Diwali and sharing their memories and pictures on different social media platforms.

I also have to thank the citizens of the nation for their support and love for our security forces and soldiers protecting us.All forms of darkness are to be fought with a “deep (lamp)” of Diwali ..Deepawali gives the message of journey to light from darkness.
Our soldiers’ acts reflect their love for the country.

The 25th edition of the monthly radio address coincides with the festival of Diwali. PM Modi had requested people to share their thoughts and inputs for the forthcoming programme on the Narendra Modi App and MyGov Open Forum.

In the last edition of the programme, Modi said the nation’s armed forces were fully equipped to foil any nefarious designs, apparently hitting out at Pakistan in the wake of an attack on an Indian Army base in northern Kashmir that killed 19 soldiers in September. He said the army does not talk, they speak through their valour.

His October address comes against the backdrop of increased hostilities at the border. The army said on Saturday it destroyed four Pakistani posts in a “massive” assault across the Line of Control in north Kashmir’s Kupwara district, ratcheting up the offensive a day after an Indian soldier’s body was mutilated by militants, who were believed to have been helped by Pakistan’s cover fire.
