Dressed in heavy mountain gear, Prime Minister Narendra Modi
celebrated Diwali with Army and ITBP personnel in the icy terrain near
the India-China border, saying their devotion to duty in the remote icy
heights is enabling the strength of the nation.
Greeting the
jawans in the Harshil cantonment area, the prime minister said they,
through their commitment and discipline, are securing the future and the
dreams of 125 crore Indians and helping spread a sense of security and
fearlessness among the people.
“You are not only protecting one
corner of our land. By securing the country’s borders, you are making
safe the lives and dreams of 125 crore Indians,” Modi told the soldiers
in the presence of Army Chief General Bipin Rawat.
Likening the soldiers with ‘diyas’ (earthen lamps), the prime minister said, “The way a diya burns itself to light up the world you lead a hard life to spread the light of fearlessness all around.”
