‘Raaton ki neend udaa di’: PM’s lauds INS Vikrant, sends strong message for Pakistan on Diwali

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday continued his tradition of celebrating the festival of Diwali with soldiers, as he visited the INS Vikrant off the coast of Goa and Karwar this year. PM Modi interacted with the soldiers and said he was fortunate to celebrate the festival of lights with the Naval personnel. “Today, on one side I have infinite horizons, infinite sky, and on the other side I have this giant, INS Vikrant, embodying infinite powers. The glow of the sun’s rays on the ocean’s waters is like the Diwali lamps lit by brave soldiers,” he said in his address to the soldiers.

While addressing the Navy personnel, PM Modi heaped praise on INS Vikrant, saying that just the mention of its name was enough to give Pakistan “sleepless nights.” He recalled, “We saw a few months back how Vikrant, only through its name, gave sleepless nights to Pakistan (Pakistan ki raaton ki neend udaa di thi).”
