Celebrate Diwali on 22nd January by lighting ‘Ramjyoti’ : An appeal to Indians by PM Modi
PM Modi inaugurates international airport and railway station at Ayodhya
Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh) – This historical moment has, fortunately, come into our lives. I am urging 140 crores of Indians to celebrate Diwali on the 22nd of January when Prabhu Shriram will be consecrated in Shriram Temple. Light ‘Shriram Jyoti’. Everyone can’t come to Ayodhya on the 22nd of January. Come to Ayodhya with your family after the programme. We have waited for 550 years. Now, it is a matter of few days, stated Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He was addressing after the inauguration of ‘Maharshi Valmiki International Airport Ayodhya Dham’ and ‘Ayodhya Railway Station’. Before the programme, PM Modi visited the house of a ‘Dalit’ named Dhaniram Manjhi and had tea with him after staging a roadshow on a stretch of 8 km in Ayodhya. He flagged off two ‘Amrut Bharat’ and six ‘Vande Bharat’ Express trains, operated from Ayodhya and other places.
Today, the whole world eagerly awaits the historical moment of 22nd January !
PM Modi said further that there was a time when Ram-Lalla used to be in a tent in Ayodhya. Now, not only Ram-Lalla but also 4 crore poor people in this country have a house. The whole world is eagerly waiting for the historical moment of 22nd January. I worship every particle of our soil and people. I am also equally eager. The same enthusiasm was seen on the roads of Ayodhya as if Ayodhya Nagari had come alive on the streets.
Today’s India is a blend of ancient and modern aspects
PM Modi said, there would be a considerable increase in the number of people visiting Ayodhya after the construction of the grand temple of Prabhu Shriram. Our Government is undertaking thousands of crores of developmental projects in Ayodhya, considering the requirement, and making Ayodhya, a smart city. Every country in the world has to preserve its heritage as an integral part of the country and to achieve new heights of development. Our heritage inspires us, and shows us the right path; therefore, today’s India is going together with the ancient and modern things.
Ayodhya will give direction for the development of the whole of Uttar Pradesh
The PM said, “In the coming future, Ayodhya will not only give direction to the progress of the Avadh region but to the development of the whole of Uttar Pradesh. One more modern train is added after ‘Vande Bharat’ and ‘Namo Bharat’. The new train has been named ‘Amrit Bharat’.”
