‘The specialty of the Mahakumbh is not only in its vastness, but also in its diversity’
NIKHIL VYAS

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday termed the upcoming Mahakumbh as the "Mahakumbh of unity" and urged people to participate in the mega event with a resolve to remove the feeling of division and hatred in the society.

Talking about the Mahakumbh during the 117th episode of his monthly ‘Mann Ki Baat’ broadcast over All India Radio, PM Modi said, “Let me tell all of you; when we participate in the Kumbh, let us bring along this resolve of unity with us. Let us also make a resolve to annihilate the feeling of division and hatred in the society.”

“If I have to say it in a few words, then I will say… Mahakumbh Ka Sandesh, Ek Ho Poora Desh… The message of the Mahakumbh, let the whole country be united and put it in another way, I will express… Ganga Ki Aviral Dhara, Na Bante Samaj Hamara… Like the uninterrupted flow of the Ganga, let our society be undivided,” he said.
