Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday spent Diwali with personnel from the BSF, Army, Navy, and Air Force at Lakki Nala in the Sir Creek area of Gujarat's Kachchh.
PM Narendra Modi visited the BSF outpost along the Pakistan border, interacting with soldiers and sharing Diwali greetings.
This isn't PM Modi's first time celebrating Diwali with India's brave forces. In 2017, he spent the festive occasion with jawans in the Gurez Valley, near the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir.
On that occasion, he exchanged sweets, greeted the jawans, and addressed them, acknowledging their sacrifices and dedication to the nation.
Similarly, in another instance, PM Modi made a surprise visit to Siachen on Diwali in 2014, praising the valour and courage of the armed forces personnel.
He emphasized that the jawans' unwavering commitment allows 125 crore Indians to celebrate Diwali and live their lives with comfort and security.
