PM Modi at 75: Manipur visit heralds peace, progress in state

On his 75th birthday, the people of Manipur remember the recent visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Manipur marks not just a political gesture but a profound message of peace, reconciliation, and development.

On behalf of the people of the state, I wish to express deep gratitude to our Prime Minister for his visit and, above all, for paying tribute to the Manipuri BSF jawan who laid down his life in Operation Sindoor. His recognition of our rich cultural heritage and thousands of years of history is equally significant.

In my view, the acknowledgment of our identity and heritage is a far greater achievement than merely building roads and physical infrastructure. Roads can be rebuilt, buildings can be raised again, but the preservation of our culture and history is what gives strength, dignity, and pride to generations. This recognition and acknowledge-

ment is something we, the people of Manipur, have yearned for over decades. By honouring this, the Prime Minister and the BJP have reaffirmed Manipur’s rightful place in the larger story of India.
