New Delhi: Rajasthan Chief Minister and Congress senior leader Ashok Gehlot on Tuesday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying that the latter receives great honour wherever he goes because he is the Prime Minister of Gandhi’s nation, reported news agency ANI.
“When PM Modi goes abroad, he receives great honour. Because he's the PM of the nation of Gandhi, where democracy is deep-rooted. When the world realises this, they feel proud that the PM of that country is coming to them,” Gehlot said while speaking at ‘Mangarh Dham ki Gaurav Gatha’, quoted by the news agency.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in Rajasthan’s Banswara earlier today where he participated in ‘Mangarh Dham ki Gaurav Gatha’ honouring tribal freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives for the independence of the country.
Speaking at the event, PM Modi highlighted the importance of tribal communities in the country saying that “India’s past, present and future is not complete without the tribal communities,” reported news agency ANI.
“The struggle and sacrifice of tribal communities didn't get their rightful place in history written after independence. Today, the country is rectifying that decades-old mistake. India's past, present and future is not complete without the tribal community,” he said.
“Every step of our freedom struggle, pages of history are filled with tribal valour,” he added.
Along with Gehlot, the event was also attended by Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
“Tradition of worshipping martyrs has been started once again by PM Modi. It is PM Modi who decided to celebrate 'Janjati Gaurav Diwas' on Nov 15 in the whole country,” Chouhan said during the event.
