Diversity is India's pride: Modi

  •   Sun, Oct 25 2015 12:49:00 PM

New Delhi, Oct 25 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said diversity is the pride of India and the key to development.

In his radio programme Mann Ki Baat on Sunday, Modi recalled Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, whose birth anniversary falls on October 31, and said he made a huge contribution to India's unity.

"He had a dream for a united India, and he succeeded in doing that geographically," said Modi.

The prime minister, however, added that the the 'mantra' of unity should "constantly be a part of our thought, behaviour and expressions".

"India is a diverse country, and this diversity is the pride of India... Peace, harmony and unity... these are the key to development," he said.

    Dear readers,

    The reality of Diversity of Modi's India
    1.Londa village in Khanapur taluk and Khanapur town in Belagavi district continue to be in the grip of communal clash.

    2.Communal clashes erupts in MP during ‘vjiay juloos’ Khargone city.

    3.Uttar Pradesh: Clash in Kanpur over 'disrespect' to religious poster

    Communal violence shows 24% jump in first five months of 2015, shows govt data.

    It is better PM Modi should open a office in New york and emphasis on his pet project of 'Digital India' connect through 'Man ki baat'.While Parliament should be shifted from Delhi to Nagpur since RSS is in lead of government affairs.

    MoDi please take some lesson on diversity, human freedom, respect,democracy etc. You miss the basic lesson on this.Evan moral values of your leadership is missing looks like intorance you value more than diversity. Go learn the basic first and talk real values of diversity. Money can't buy freedom and moral.it has to be developed within us to share with others.for you only money is you man ki bath but poor people freedom is most important to live freely in the society

    The GCC countries now hurting due to the highly plunged oil price will be issuing $ 10000 bonds to raise billions of dollars to invest in India, since the CM of Haryana was too generous to the 173 million Muslims to live in India through avoiding the consumption of beef.

    What about the Hindus, Christians,
    Sikhs, Buddhist, Parsi and Bahai religious believers consuming beef?
    How they can pay back to the CM of Haryana for his generosity?

    Mr. Modi will not dare to correct any of his comrades when they make total idiotic statements affecting the masses of India and the news would be reaching the rest of the world within seconds.

He was a world citizen, above any religious wall, had friendship with the world leaders while studying at the Cambridge University.

    Now, what is happening in New Delhi is the Gujarat show, what we can expect?
