India, Aug. 2 -- Prime Minister of India issued the following speech:
UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Ji, Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya Ji, Brajesh Pathak Ji, Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan Ji joining us from Patna, all the respected Chief Ministers joining us from different parts of the country, Governor Shri, Ministers, Ministers of UP Government, UP BJP President Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary Ji, all MLAs and public representatives, and my dear farmer brothers and sisters, and especially my master the public of Kashi!
Today we are connected with lakhs of farmers across the country from Kashi. It is the month of Sawan, a holy place like Kashi and there is an opportunity to connect with the farmers of the country. What can be a greater fortune than this? Today I have come to Kashi for the first time after Operation Sindoor. When there was a terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, 26 innocent people were killed so brutally, the pain of their families, the sorrow of those children, the pain of those daughters, my heart was filled with immense pain. Then I was praying to Baba Vishwanath to give courage to all the affected families to bear this sorrow. My masters of Kashi, the promise I made to take revenge for the sindoor of my daughters has also been fulfilled. This has been possible only with the blessings of Mahadev. I dedicate the success of Operation Sindoor at his feet.
Friends,
These days, when we get the opportunity to see the pictures of Shiva devotees carrying Gangajal in Kashi, and especially on the first Monday of Sawan, when our Yadav brothers used to go out to perform Jalabhishek of Baba, a group of Yadav brothers carrying Gangajal on their shoulders from Gauri Kedareshwar, what a beautiful sight it is. The sound of Damru, the noise in the streets, an amazing feeling is created in the world. I also had a great desire to visit Baba Vishwanath and Markandeya Mahadev in the holy month of Sawan! But so that my going there does not cause inconvenience to the devotees of Mahadev and their darshan is not hindered, I am paying my obeisance to Bholenath and Mother Ganga from here today. We are paying our obeisance to Baba Kashi Vishwanath from this stage of Sevapuri.
