PM Modi celebrates Diwali with troops
He visited the Dograi War Memorial in Khasa in Amritsar and placed wreaths at the venue of one of the toughest battles fought and won by Indian forces on September 22, 1965.
Addressing the troops, he said, "I have come to celebrate Diwali with you. I am happy to get this opportunity.."
The Prime Minister said, "It is because of your valour, dedication and dreams that the whole world looks at India with respect. It is not only because of the uniform but character of the armed forces."
He said India holds its head high in the comity of nations because the generations of leaders in the armed forces nurtured the forces.
"I congratulate those who have provided leadership over several years to the armed forces," Modi said.
Later, he tweeted, "I spent time with our soldiers and we had a wonderful conversation."
