What PM Modi said:

  • On the start of Ramzan, I convey my greetings to people across the world.
  • India's diversity is our strength
  • We are proud that people from all faiths live in India in a harmonious manner
  • I had said that during the holidays get out of your comfort zone, do something new. I am glad lot of people shared their experiences with me.
  • I am happy that the youth is keen to know about our history and sacrifices made by leaders.
  • It feels proud to see youngsters are taking interest in lives of our freedom fighters, who spent their lives in jail.
  • Today we remember Veer Savarkar on his Jayanti. He spent time at the 'Kaala Pani' and there he wrote a lot.
  • People from all over India were imprisoned in the cellular jail.
  • I got a very interesting suggestion- since its 3rd Yoga Day, why not 3 generations of a family come together and practice Yoga.
  • PM lauds a resident of Mumbai Afroz Shah and the entire team for their efforts towards cleanliness in the state.
  • The earth is our mother and we are all her sons and daughters...I request you all to connect with nature to nurture a better planet.
  • June 5 is World Environment Day. Take a pledge that not only on the day, but from that day, we should do our bit to connect with nature and be one with nature.
  • June 21 is International Yoga Day. I request you all to come and be a part of it. Yoga guarantees both wellness and fitness.
  • Yoga is integrating the world today. Through Yoga, we have successfully started connecting the world.
  • India is taking steps in the right direction to ensure a swachh Bharat (clean India). One thing that we all must focus on, is waste management. The first thing we must do is not to think of garbage as waste.
  • Garbage segregation must start at home. We all must dispose it on the basis of dry, wet, plastic, paper or metal, tin, re-usable- like cloth, etc. I request you all to take this step.
