The Prime Minister made remarks while addressing a public meeting after laying the foundation stone of Bageshwar Dham Medical and Science Research Institute in Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh.
“Nowadays we see that there is a group of leaders who mock religion, ridicule it, are engaged in dividing people and many times foreign powers also try to weaken the country and religion by supporting these people. People who hate the Hindu faith have been living in some phase or the other for centuries,” PM Modi remarked.
“People who have fallen into the mentality of slavery keep attacking our faith, beliefs and temples, our religion, culture and principles. These people abuse our festivals, traditions and customs. They dare to attack the religion and culture which is progressive by nature. Dividing our society and breaking its unity is their agenda,” he added.

He praised the efforts of Dhirendra Shastri, the Peethadhishwar of Bageshwar Dham, acknowledging his long-standing work in promoting the mantra of unity across the country.
“In this time, Dhirendra Shastri has been making people aware of the mantra of unity in the country for a long time. Now, he has reached another resolution in the interest of society and humanity. This is the plan to build this cancer institute. That means now, here in Bageshwar Dham, you will get the blessings of bhajan, food and healthy life,” said PM Modi.
