Delivering a speech at the 2nd Sanyas Diksha Mahotsav at Yoga guru Ramdev’s Patanjali Yogpeeth in Haridwar, Union Home Minister Amit Shah listed and highlighted the changes that were brought under the leadership of PM Modi.
Aid the history of India’s freedom struggle was confined to one family but Prime Minister Narendra Modi put an end to it by “immortalising” Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
Soon after landing at the Bhalla College helipad, Shah was faced an onslaught of slogans by Congress workers, protesting against the disqualification of RaGa as MP at Parashuram Chowk.
Shah, in his speech, stated how The Ram Temple issue was stuck “since the time of Babur”, but just after the Supreme Court order, the prime minister did Bhumi Puja in Ayodhya.
“India’s freedom struggle was confined to one family, but PM Modi put an end to it by immortalising Patel with the Statue of Unity,” Shah quoted.
Shah asserted Modi as the ‘Reviver of Hinduism’ who reconstructed Hindu temples like the Kashi-Vishwanath and Somnath temples and retrieved idols from across the world, which were stolen from India during the colonial era.
The Union minister highlighted the reconstruction projects undertaken in Kedarnath and Badrinath under Modi’s guidance to further substantiate his point.
Shah also credited Modi for getting Yoga the recognition it deserved on an international platform by standing up for it at the United Nations.
Congratulating 100 new ‘sanyasis’, including men and women, who were conferred with “sanyas diksha” by Patanjali on Thursday at a ceremony on the banks of the Ganga held earlier in the day, Shah said he is happy to see that ancient Indian knowledge will derive new energy from the “army” of young sanyasis prepared by Patanjali.
Shah also credited the Prime Minister with all of his ministry’s achievements.
