Prime Minister Narendra Modi: India proudly accepts the contribution of the Christian community

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday praised the Christian community for its role in giving direction to the society and the spirit of service and said that the country accepts this with pride.

Interacting with community members at his residence here on Christmas, Modi recalled his old, close and warm relations with Christians and said they have always been at the forefront in serving the poor and the deprived.

He said that community-run institutions are making a major contribution across the country in the health and education sectors.

Modi said the life message of Jesus Christ was centered on compassion and service and he worked for an inclusive society where justice was for all.

The Prime Minister said these values are serving as a “guiding light” in his government’s development journey, and also said that the Upanishads, considered the source of Hindi philosophy, are also focused on realizing absolute truth, like the Bible. .

Modi said people can focus on their shared values and heritage to move forward and the spirit of cooperation and coordination with the spirit of “sabka prayas” can take the country to new heights.
