Prime Minister Narendra Modi (ANI NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday thanked citizens for responding positively to his appeals aimed at helping the country navigate the ongoing crisis in West Asia. He said people have not only supported his requests but are actively implementing them in their daily lives.Addressing the nation during the 135th episode of his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat, Modi said, “In view of the prevalent war-like situation in West Asia, I had urged countrymen on a few points. I had asked people to avoid buying gold for some time, as far as possible. I am grateful to every citizen of the country; not only have they supported my appeal, they are also actively cooperating in every way.”The Prime Minister’s remarks come months after he urged citizens to adopt measures such as reducing fuel consumption, opting for carpooling, avoiding non-essential foreign travel, choosing Swadeshi products, cutting cooking oil consumption, embracing natural farming and temporarily curbing gold purchases amid heightened tensions in the region.Highlighting the public response, PM Modi said many citizens had shared their experiences through messages and social media. He noted that people travelling in the same direction daily had increasingly begun carpooling instead of using separate vehicles.”Many families have shared their experiences with me through messages. People have shared many experiences regarding carpooling as well. Those who used to travel in their own vehicles in the same direction every day have now started commuting together,” he said.On his appeal to reduce gold purchases, PM Modi said several families had decided against buying new gold even for weddings, choosing instead to recycle existing jewellery.”Numerous families have decided not to buy gold for weddings in their homes this time; if the need arises, they would recycle old gold to create new jewellery. Many people have even written on social media how they have postponed their foreign travel this time,” he said.Meanwhile, market analysts expect gold prices to remain volatile in the coming weeks amid global macroeconomic uncertainty. As news agency ANI quoted Senior Manager-Commodities Research at Kotak Neo, Riteshkumar Sahu, “Spot gold has managed to recover from its recent seven-month low after a sharp fall earlier this week, but the overall trend remains weak. Recent US inflation data largely matched expectations and provided some temporary support as US bond yields eased.”He added that investors continue to closely watch inflation data, US bond yields and geopolitical developments for further direction.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Adityanath accused the previous Samajwadi Party government of opening fire on devotees of Lord Ram. NEW DELHI: Amid the alleged donation embezzlement row in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday launched a sharp attack on Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and advised him to visit the Ram Temple.While addressing a gathering in Hathras, Adityanath accused the previous Samajwadi Party government of opening fire on devotees of Lord Ram.”I was reading a statement by SP President Akhilesh Yadav yesterday. He was saying that if his government came to power, he would transform Ayodhya into a ‘religious city.’ What kind of religious city would you create? It was your government, the SP government, that opened fire on the devotees of Lord Ram. You lack the courage; apart from kneeling before Mullahs and Maulvis, you have no agenda for the state’s development or for upholding the identity of Ayodhya, Mathura, and Kashi,” Adityanath said.”Today, when our public representatives were saying that more than 22 temples in Hathras were beautified, was this possible during the Samajwadi Party’s time? Was it not during their time? Because at that time, this money went towards the boundary walls of kabristans. And that very money we have diverted towards temples. We have sent that same money here, because temples are the centres of faith. Akhilesh, Ayodhya has been adorned and beautified by the devotees of Lord Ram. You don’t worry about it. Do penance. Have darshan of Ramlala once. At least this will bring some good sense, and now prepare so that we may also do something for Krishna Kanhaiya,” he added.Earlier, Akhilesh targeted Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath and questioned his repeated visits to Ayodhya, asking whether they were meant to “oversee ongoing thefts.”Taking a swipe at the chief minister, Akhilesh referred to the findings of the Special Investigation Team (SIT), which reportedly found that CCTV footage had been tampered with, and questioned how the alleged irregularities went unnoticed despite Adityanath’s frequent visits to the temple.”The SIT report itself indicates that CCTV footage was tampered with. Was the chief minister setting a record for the number of visits to Ayodhya just to oversee ongoing theft? Why is it that, despite making so many visits, he remained unaware of the activities taking place within the temple complex?” the former UP chief minister told news agency ANI.The Samajwadi Party chief also criticised the quality of development in Ayodhya, saying it had fallen short of expectations for a global pilgrimage destination.”The development and work carried out in Ayodhya fell short of expectations. A place visited by people from across the globe should feature world-class infrastructure, and the devotees arriving with faith deserve international-standard amenities,” he said.This comes after Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Trust General Secretary Champat Rai and trustee Anil Mishra resigned, taking moral responsibility in connection with the alleged Ram Temple donation theft case.Meanwhile, a court in Ayodhya on Friday remanded eight accused to judicial custody till June 29 in the alleged Ram Mandir donation embezzlement case. According to officials, those arrested are Avinash Shukla, Ankalp Mishra, Lavkush Mishra, Manish Kumar Yadav, Karunesh Pandey, Rama Shankar Mishra, Subhash Srivastava, and Rama Shankar alias Tinnu.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi conferred the ‘Guardian of the Blue Horizon’ NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, during his visit to Seychelles, was conferred the ‘Guardian of the Blue Horizon’, highest distinction for leadership in environmental conservation and sustainable development.Accepting the honour, PM Modi dedicated it to countries combating climate change and reaffirmed India’s commitment to environmental stewardship and global cooperation.”It is a matter of immense pride and joy for me and for the 1.4 billion people of India to be honoured with the title of ‘Guardian of the Blue Horizon.’ I humbly accept this honour and dedicate it to all those nations that are battling the challenge of climate change and view environmental conservation as a responsibility towards future generations,” he said.Highlights 50 years of India-Seychelles partnershipWhile addressing the press statement, PM Modi noted that his visit coincides with two significant milestones, the Golden Jubilee of Seychelles’ independence and the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries.”My visit takes place at a historic juncture as Seychelles marks 50 years of its independence, and we celebrate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between India and Seychelles. Over the course of these 50 years, we have transformed friendship into trust, trust into cooperation, and cooperation into public welfare,” he said.Emphasising the historic maritime links between the two nations, the Prime Minister said the Indian Ocean has nurtured India-Seychelles ties for centuries by facilitating trade, cultural exchanges and people-to-people connections.Says MAHASAGAR vision anchors India-Seychelles cooperation Addressing the press further, PM Modi said India and Seychelles view the Indian Ocean as a shared home, with its security, sustainability and prosperity being a collective responsibility, adding that this vision forms the foundation of India’s MAHASAGAR initiative.”We believe the Indian Ocean is our shared home; its security, sustainability, and prosperity are our shared responsibility. This sentiment forms the foundation of our MAHASAGAR vision. The joint vision issued during the President’s visit to India in February of this year has laid the blueprint for our future partnership,” he said.MoUs strengthen strategic partnershipEarlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi held delegation-level talks with President Patrick Herminie to review the full spectrum of bilateral cooperation and exchange views on regional and global issues of mutual interest.Following the talks, the two leaders witnessed the exchange of multiple MoUs aimed at deepening collaboration in key sectors and further strengthening the longstanding strategic partnership between India and Seychelles.External affairs minister S Jaishankar, national security advisor Ajit Doval and foreign secretary Vikram Misri were present during the discussions.Seychelles First Lady hails PM Modi visitSpeaking to ANI, Seychelles First Lady Veronique Herminie said the visit symbolised the mutual respect and unity shared by India and Seychelles.”This is sending the right message to the world and to the people of Seychelles that there is a lot of respect, there’s a lot of friendship and the unity that India and Seychelles enjoys,” she said.Herminie also highlighted India’s contribution to Seychelles in sectors including healthcare, education and defence.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Over the course of these 50 years, we have transformed friendship into trust, trust into cooperation, and cooperation into public welfare,” he said.Emphasising the historic maritime links between the two nations, the Prime Minister said the Indian Ocean has nurtured India-Seychelles ties for centuries by facilitating trade, cultural exchanges and people-to-people connections.Says MAHASAGAR vision anchors India-Seychelles cooperation Addressing the press further, PM Modi said India and Seychelles view the Indian Ocean as a shared home, with its security, sustainability and prosperity being a collective responsibility, adding that this vision forms the foundation of India’s MAHASAGAR initiative.”We believe the Indian Ocean is our shared home; its security, sustainability, and prosperity are our shared responsibility. This sentiment forms the foundation of our MAHASAGAR vision. The joint vision issued during the President’s visit to India in February of this year has laid the blueprint for our future partnership,” he said.MoUs strengthen strategic partnershipEarlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi held delegation-level talks with President Patrick Herminie to review the full spectrum of bilateral cooperation and exchange views on regional and global issues of mutual interest.Following the talks, the two leaders witnessed the exchange of multiple MoUs aimed at deepening collaboration in key sectors and further strengthening the longstanding strategic partnership between India and Seychelles.External affairs minister S Jaishankar, national security advisor Ajit Doval and foreign secretary Vikram Misri were present during the discussions.Seychelles First Lady hails PM Modi visitSpeaking to ANI, Seychelles First Lady Veronique Herminie said the visit symbolised the mutual respect and unity shared by India and Seychelles.”This is sending the right message to the world and to the people of Seychelles that there is a lot of respect, there’s a lot of friendship and the unity that India and Seychelles enjoys,” she said.Herminie also highlighted India’s contribution to Seychelles in sectors including healthcare, education and defence.Get the latest India news and live updates.
