PM Modi slams those opposing India's religious, cultural traditions

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack against the Opposition for allegedly mocking religious traditions and attempting to divide society. Addressing a gathering in Madhya Pradesh's Chhattarpur on Sunday, the Prime Minister criticised politicians who ridicule faith and cultural practices, describing them as people with a "slave mentality" who undermine India's religious heritage. "Nowadays, we see a group of leaders who mock religion, ridicule it, and seek to divide people. Many times, foreign powers also try to weaken our country and faith by supporting such individuals. Those who harbor hatred for the Hindu faith have existed for centuries," PM Modi said. Dividing our society and breaking its unity is their agenda, he said. In next three years, cancer daycare centres will be opened in all districts in the country, Modi said.
