PM Modi Celebrates Diwali with Indian Navy Personnel on Board INS Vikrant
The Prime Minister has made it a tradition to celebrate Diwali with the country’s armed forces
Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated Diwali with the Indian Navy personnel on board the INS Vikrant, India’s indigenously built aircraft carrier. Sharing glimpses of the celebration on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the Prime Minister described the experience as a moment of pride and inspiration.
“Celebrating Diwali with our brave Navy personnel on board the INS Vikrant,” Shri Modi posted on X, along with photos from the celebration.
Calling it “a remarkable day, a remarkable moment, and a remarkable sight,” the Prime Minister highlighted the contrast between the vast ocean on one side and the immense strength of India’s soldiers on the other. He said, “While one side presents the infinite horizon and boundless sky, the other side showcases the colossal might of INS Vikrant, embodying infinite power.”
Drawing a poetic comparison, Shri Modi observed that the sparkle of sunlight on the sea resembled the lamps lit by the brave soldiers during Deepavali, forming what he described as “a divine garland of lights.”
Expressing his gratitude, he added, “People love celebrating Diwali with their families. And so do I, which is why every year I meet our Army and security personnel who keep our nation safe. Happy to be among our brave naval personnel on the western seaboard off Goa and Karwar on Indian Naval Ships with INS Vikrant as the flagship.”
The Prime Minister has made it a tradition to celebrate Diwali with the country’s armed forces, honouring their dedication and sacrifice in safeguarding the nation’s frontiers.
