Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking at a public gathering in Assam’s Darrang, said his first visit to the state after the recently concluded ‘Operation Sindoor’ carried a special significance. Describing the operation as a “huge success with the blessings of Maa Kamakhya,” he said that coming to the sacred land during Janmashtami gave him a unique spiritual experience. Modi also linked his Red Fort speech, where he invoked Chakradhari Shri Krishna, to his vision for a future security policy symbolised by the Sudarshan Chakra.
During his address, PM Modi expressed displeasure over the Congress’s remarks on Bharat Ratna recipient Bhupen Hazarika. He said the country holds the legendary singer and cultural icon in the highest respect and that such comments disrespected the emotions of the people of Assam.
Reaffirming his government’s commitment, Modi said the BJP’s double-engine government will continue working to fulfil the aspirations of Assam’s great sons like Hazarika. He also participated in events marking the musician’s birth centenary during his visit, underscoring the government’s focus on preserving and promoting Assam’s rich cultural heritage.
