Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed on Sunday that certain politicians in India still exhibit a ‘slave mentality’ and frequently mock the Hindu religion and its progressive traditions. He accused them, often backed by foreign entities, of attempting to create divisions among people and undermine the nation.“Those who harbor hatred towards Hindu belief have existed for centuries. These individuals, trapped in a colonial mindset, continuously attack our ideals, principles, and faith, while denigrating our festivals and traditions,” the PM declared, alluding to the Congress and other opposition parties.“These individuals slander a religion and traditions that are inherently progressive. Their agenda is to fragment our religion and society, thereby dismantling our unity,” the PM added.

“However, our Dhirendra Shastri has been actively working to awaken people with his message of unity,” the PM noted.

He made these remarks while performing the ground-breaking ceremony for a Cancer Hospital and Medical Science and Research Centre, initiated by Hindu sage Dhirendra Shastri’s Shri Bageshwar Dham Jan Seva Samiti at Bageshwar Dham in Garha village, Chhatarpur district, Madhya Pradesh.

Modi praised Dhirendra Shastri for establishing this significant facility which will serve the poor and underserved cancer patients, spread over 100 acres. “This center of Hindu faith and devotion is transforming into a center for health as well,” Modi acknowledged.

He emphasized that for generations, Hindu monasteries, shrines, and temples have served not only as places of worship but also as hubs of science and research. Modi pointed out that the knowledge of yoga, which is now embraced worldwide, was introduced by Hindu sages.

The PM reiterated his commitment to the mission of ‘sabka saath, sabka vikas’ (together with all, development for all), adding that ‘sabka ilaaj, sabko aarogya’ (treatment for all, health for all) has also been included in this vision.

“In the coming three years, our government will establish cancer day-care centers in every district across the country,” the PM announced, stating that cancer clinics will also be integrated into all district hospitals.

“I am your son, and I will continue to serve you all,” the PM promised.

He emphasized the importance of accurate information and timely cancer screenings. “Cancer is not contagious. It is crucial to avoid tobacco products like bidi, cigarettes, and gutkha as they raise cancer risks,” the PM cautioned the large gathering.

“A healthy body is our greatest asset for all spiritual endeavors and happiness,” he asserted.

Applauding the ongoing Maha Kumbh at Prayagraj in neighboring Uttar Pradesh, the PM remarked, “This Maha Kumbh of Hindu faith has also evolved into a Maha Kumbh of national unity.”

“Future generations will remember this Maha Kumbh, held after 144 years, as it will bolster the country’s unity,” he stated.

Present at the event were Madhya Pradesh Governor Mangubhai Patel, Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav, Bageshwar Dhaam Peethadheeshwar Pandit Dhirendra Shastri, Jagatguru Rambhadracharya, Sadhvi Rithambhara, Swami Chidanand Saraswati, Mahant Balak Yogeshwar Das, and others.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
