NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday cautioned against efforts to fragment society along caste, religious, and linguistic lines, attributing these actions to those seeking personal gain. Speaking via video conference at the 200th-anniversary celebrations of the Shree Swaminarayan Mandir in Vadtal, Gujarat, PM Modi stressed the importance of unity in the face of these divisive agendas, urging collective action to safeguard national integrity. “There is a conspiracy going on to divide the society on the basis of caste, religion, language, high and low, men and women, villages and cities.
It is important that we understand the seriousness of this attempt of the national enemies, understand the crisis and we all have to defeat such an act together,” Modi said, underscoring the need for societal cohesion. He also emphasised empowering youth, particularly in sectors like IT, to ensure India’s progress and said “Skilled youth will become our biggest strength..
. The whole world is attracted by the capability of the youth of India.” PM Modi praised the long-standing role of saints and sages in guiding humanity toward purpose, saying, “Every person’s life has a purpose that defines it.
When we discover our life’s purpose, it changes everything. Saints and sages have, in every age, helped humanity realize its purpose. This has been a tremendous contribution of saints and sages to our society.
