[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Speaks to the nation in Mann ki Baat

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again said that violence in any form is unacceptable and guilty will not be spared. His comments came after two days of the large scale violence by the supporters of Gurmeet Ram Raheem Singh of Dera Sacha Sauda in Haryana where 36 people were killed and properties worth crores of rupees were damaged.

Addressing 35th edition of Mann Ki Baat, the monthly radio program on Sunday, Prime Minister said, “India is the land of Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Buddha. Violence is not acceptable in the nation, in any form.” 

Without mentioning incidents in Haryana, Prime Minister said, “I want to assure my countrymen that people who take the law into their own hands and are on the path of violent suppression – whether it is a person or a group – neither this country nor any government will tolerate it. Each and every person will have to abide by the law; the law will fix accountability and the guilty will unquestionably be punished.” 

The violence was erupted after Panchkula court convicted self-styled god Ram Rahim in a 2002 rape case. Over a lakh followers of Dera Sacha Sauda were allowed to gather, who went berserk after the arrest of their ideal god. They indulged in stone throwing and clashed with police and set several vehicles and public properties on fire in Panchkula and other parts Haryana and Punjab.

While congratulating for different upcoming festivals Prime Minister cherished unity in diversity of the country. He said, “India is a diverse nation. Unity in diversity is our strength. Our diverse culture is not limited to the food we eat or the clothes we wear, or the way we live… One can see a unique way of life in every nook and corner of India. Even our festivals and the different ways we celebrate it are something to cherish. The true beauty of diversity can be found in India.”

He appealed the countrymen to celebrate Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday on October 2 as Swachch Do Aktoobar  which should be preceded by a fortnight of  “Swachchata Hi Seva”  (cleanliness is service) campaign to begin on September 15.

Prime Minister appreciated Jamiat Ulema-e- Hind for cleaning twenty-two temples and two mosques in the flood affected areas in Dhanera and Banskantha districts in Gujarat saying it was an “inspiring example of unity for cleanliness.”

He also recalled the success of Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna and several other government initiatives.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

PM Modi

In the aftermath of the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead a series of crucial meetings tomorrow to review India’s security preparedness.

The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), the nation’s apex body for national security decisions, is scheduled to convene around 11 am. This will be the second high-level review since the tragic incident in Jammu and Kashmir.

Following the CCS meeting, the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA), chaired by the Prime Minister, will also gather to discuss political and strategic issues. Senior leaders, including Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, Health Minister JP Nadda, and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, will participate in the deliberations.

Later, the Cabinet’s Economic Affairs Committee will meet, culminating in a full cabinet session.

During the previous CCS meeting, held two days after the attack, the government placed security forces across the country on heightened alert and vowed strict action against those responsible. Measures taken included suspending the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan, halting SAARC visas, closing the Wagah-Attari border, and downgrading diplomatic ties with Islamabad.

Additionally, Pakistani nationals residing in India were asked to return to their country, with a slight extension given to those holding medical visas until Tuesday. In retaliation, Pakistan announced the suspension of all bilateral agreements with India, including the historic Simla Agreement.

As tensions between the two countries escalate, tomorrow’s meetings are expected to chart the next course of action amid rising security concerns.
