Prime Minister Narendra Modi kept up his annual tradition of celebrating Diwali with the Indian armed forces and spent the festival of lights with the Navy personnel onboard INS Vikrant off the coast of Goa and Karwar (Karnataka) on Monday. Addressing hundreds of “brave” Navy personnel, he said he was “fortunate that he is celebrating the holy festival with them”. “Today, on one side I have infinite horizons and infinite sky, and on the other side I have this giant, INS Vikrant, embodying infinite powers. The glow of the sun’s rays on the ocean’s waters is like the Diwali lamps lit by brave soldiers,” he added. PM Modi said the INS Vikrant, which is India’s first indigenous aircraft carrier, reflects the capability of India’s armed forces. “It brought Pakistan to its knees within days during Operation Sindoor,” he said.
