PM Narendra Modi greeted citizens on the occasion of Diwali in a letter, in which he noted India's various "historic" achievements, like Ayodhya's Ram Mandir, Operation Sindoor and eradication of Naxalism in some districts. "Lord Shri Ram teaches us to uphold righteousness and...gives us...courage to fight injustice. We have seen a living example of this...during Operation Sindoor," he wrote.
