Mann Ki Baat: Why organise weddings abroad? PM Modi asks families to celebrate in India
Narendra Modi has questioned the practice of some families to organise weddings abroad. He has urged such celebrations to be held within India. “I know some people want it.
But, let's take ‘vocal for local’ seriously on this level too. There might be facilities there now, but soon India will grow to that level," he said on November 26, coinciding with the commemoration of the Mumbai terror attack. PM Modi has also urged people to use UPI for all payments for December.
“UPI payments have increased in the past months, and I urge you to only make UPI payments for the upcoming month and write to me about your experience," the prime minister said. Prime Minister Modi spoke about ‘Project Surat’, set to promote cleanliness and sustainable growth in Gujarat's Surat city. “Swacchta is not a one-day campaign, instead a part of life," he said.
During Mann Ki Baat, he also announced photography awards in meals. PM Modi paid tributes on the 15th anniversary of the 26/11 attacks. “We can never forget November 26.
It was on this day that the most heinous terrorist attack took place in the country. Terrorists had shaken Mumbai and the entire country. But, it is India’s capability that we recovered from that attack and now we are also crushing terrorism with full courage," he said.
