Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that August 5 will be remembered in history.
He listed three significant developments in recent history – the abrogation of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir in 2019, the foundation-laying ceremony for the construction of a Ram Temple in Ayodhya on August 5 last year, and the Indian men’s hockey team’s win over Germany today – to signify the importance of August 5.
He said the date has once again brought happiness and excitement to the people.
“Two years ago on this day, Article 370 was abrogated in Jammu and Kashmir. On this day last year, the first step was taken towards the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Today, construction of a grand Ram Temple is underway”, said PM Modi.
“New India is gaining global recognition not through ranks, but by winning medals. It has been proved that one’s progress is decided by hard work, not family. Indian youth is moving forward, it’s progressing,” PM Modi added.
PM said this during his interaction with beneficiaries of the scheme through video-conferencing as the state observed the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana Day.
Earlier in the day, PM Modi lauded the hard work of the Indian men’s hockey team and its Australian coach Graham Reid during a telephonic conversation with skipper Manpreet Singh and the support staff after the team’s bronze medal win at the Olympic Games.
