Prime Minister Narendra Modi will celebrate Diwali with soldiers at Longewala in Jaisalmer of Rajasthan.
Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat, Army Chief General M M Narvane, and Border Security Force Director General Rakesh Asthana will accompany him.
On Diwali eve, Modi had appealed to the people to light a ‘diya’ as a ‘salute to soldiers’, saying words cannot do justice to the sense of gratitude for their exemplary courage.
This Diwali, let us also light a Diya as a #Salute2Soldiers who fearlessly protect our nation. Words can’t do justice to the sense of gratitude we have for our soldiers for their exemplary courage. We are also grateful to the families of those on the borders. pic.twitter.com/UAKqPLvKR8
