Army gave a historic response to enemy: CM

Indore: CM Mohan Yadav, while addressing the Tiranga Yatra in Indore on Friday, said that terrorists killed people in the Pahalgam attack by asking their religion, which was a conspiracy to incite communal tension in India. However, Indians remained united and thwarted this bid by Pakistan.

"In the Pahalgam attack, terrorists sowed the seeds of conspiracy by asking the religion of the people before killing them. Behind this, there was a conspiracy by terrorists and Pakistan to incite a fight between Hindus and Muslims in our country. I am happy that the entire nation thwarted this bid by staying united," the CM said.

"Such is the strategy and working style of India's Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) that even the President of the United States (Donald Trump) had to correct his statements (to mediate a ceasefire between India and Pakistan)," the CM said. He added that from 1857 to 1947, anyone who dared to cast an evil eye on Bharat Mata (Mother India) was met with united resistance from the people of the country.

The CM said that in this new era, the Indian Army gave a historic response to the enemy in a short span of time. The entire world witnessed our strength, unity, and the use of modern weapons through Operation Sindoor, which helped India gain a position alongside the USA and Israel to give such a befitting reply to its enemies with their courage, bravery, valour, and heroism.

The Tiranga Yatra witnessed a large number of people participating and carrying the Indian flag. The rally, which commenced from Bada Ganpati Square, was welcomed by over 200 different community and organisational platforms along its route. The 1.5 km distance to Rajwada Chowk took more than one and a half hours to cover.

The CM announced that the 300th birth anniversary of Lokmata Devi Ahilyabai Holkar is being celebrated across the state. Coincidentally, her birth anniversary according to the Hindu calendar and her wedding anniversary both fall on May 20, which is also the death anniversary of her father-in-law, Malharrao Holkar. In view of this, a cabinet meeting will be held in Rajwada, Indore, on May 20.
