In an unexpected twist during his journey to Srinagar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a profound spiritual detour, pausing to gaze upon Shankaracharya Hill from a vantage point. In a post on X, PM Modi graciously shared snapshots of the mesmerizing panorama, capturing the essence of his contemplation of the grandeur that is Shankaracharya Hill.
Presenting a series of images portraying his admiration for the awe-inspiring landscape, PM Modi articulated, “Upon my recent arrival in Srinagar, I seized the moment to behold the majestic Shankaracharya Hill from a distance.”
This visit by the Prime Minister carries significant weight, marking his inaugural rally in Kashmir since 2019. It is poised to be the most substantial political assembly in the region since the annulment of Article 370 half a decade ago. The gathering is scheduled to unfold at Bakshi Stadium.
This impromptu sojourn by PM Modi accentuates his advocacy for local tourism and underscores his dedication to weaving a stronger connection with the diverse cultural tapestry of the nation.
In recent times, a flurry of discontent and a sharp deterioration in relations with neighboring Maldives ensued due to viral social media posts by junior ministers from the country, ridiculing PM Modi’s visit to Lakshadweep.
Mocking both PM Modi and his initiative to promote Lakshadweep as a prime beach tourism destination, several junior ministers and government officials in Maldives unleashed scornful and unsavory remarks against him.
This predicament evolved into a substantial diplomatic quandary, prompting New Delhi to summon the Maldivian envoy to the South Block and vociferously registering its protest against the contentious viral posts.
