Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the need to combat “Urban Naxalism” during his Rashtriya Ekta Diwas speech at Gujarat’s Statue of Unity. Speaking on the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, he warned of forces aiming to disrupt India’s growth, citing attempts by certain groups to undermine the economy and deter investors. PM Modi urged citizens to remain vigilant against entities that threaten India’s unity under the guise of democratic values.
The PM also advocated for the proposed “One Nation, One Election,” emphasizing how synchronized elections can strengthen democracy and streamline resources for growth. Modi reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to achieving a Uniform Civil Code, stating it would further national integration.
Modi’s remarks reflect the government’s heightened focus on internal security. He called upon citizens to honor Patel’s vision by fostering a united and stable India, especially during the current election season. Following the speech, Modi paid tribute to Patel and attended the Ekta Diwas Parade, which featured cultural performances and displays by armed forces and local organizations.
This is where F1 has witnessed its most dramatic races and seasons endings. Sebastian Vettel’s title charge in 2012 after a first lap disaster or Lewis Hamilton’s last corner deciding championship while Ferrari was celebrating thinking they won, this track has so many iconic moments. An entire book can be written on the classics it has produced over the years. Even the most boring race here would surpass greatest races of few tracks.
