In keeping with tradition, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spent Diwali with soldiers, this time at Lakki Nala in Gujarat’s Sir Creek. Addressing the troops, Modi lauded their resilience and commitment in defending India under harsh conditions. “Celebrating with you doubles the joy of Diwali,” he said, reflecting on this year’s special festival as Lord Ram’s return to Ayodhya was honored.

Modi extended gratitude from India’s 1.4 billion citizens, acknowledging the troops’ service in challenging landscapes, from freezing mountains to scorching deserts. “Your courage shines like steel, deterring any enemy who dares to test our strength,” he remarked.
