The Indian armed forces carried out Operation Sindoor to avenge the terrorist attack in Pahgam in Jammu and Kashmir on 7 April on 7 April, killing 26 people.
PM Modi also appreciated the Kanwar Yatra and said, “These days, when I see the scenes of the devotees of Lord Shiva taking the Ganges water in the Ganges, it looks divine.
PM Modi said that he did not pray in the Kashi Vishwanath temple because it caused inconvenience to the common people coming to the temple.
The Prime Minister said, “I wish to be able to pray to Baba Vishwanath in the holy month of ‘Sawan’. But if I go there, other devotees will have to face inconvenience and will not be able to offer prayers, so I will bow before Bholenath and Maa Ganga from here.”
