‘Forces that opposed Somnath temple reconstruction still active’: PM Modi at Swabhiman Parv
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that forces that opposed the reconstruction of the Somnath temple in Gujarat after Independence are still active, warning that India must remain vigilant, united, and strong to counter them. Addressing the Somnath Swabhiman Parv to mark 1,000 years since Mahmud of Ghazni’s invasion of the Somnath temple in 1026, PM Modi said the temple’s history is not one of destruction or defeat, but of victory and renewal.
