New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was in Himachal Pradesh’s Lepcha yesterday to celebrate Deepavali with security personnel, said for him, a place where Armymen are is no less than a temple.
The Prime Minister has made it a point to celebrate the festival with Soldiers every year. In 2014, the PM celebrated the festival of lights with Soldiers at the Siachen Glacier. In 2015, on the 50th anniversary of the 1965 war with Pakistan, Modi visited three Memorials in Punjab where the Indian Armed Forces had fought pitched battles that proved to be key to the country’s victory.
