On National Unity Day, coinciding with Diwali, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed concerns over national unity, asserting that certain factions are attempting to undermine it for political gain. Speaking near the statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in Kewadiya, Gujarat, Modi emphasized the importance of recognizing and countering these "urban Naxals" who, he claimed, are spreading misinformation and division, particularly in the context of caste.

Highlighting India’s growing global stature, he urged citizens to protect the nation’s unity. Modi criticized opposition groups, particularly the INDIA bloc, for promoting division under the guise of constitutional rights and caste representation. He stated that such politics seeks to keep India weak, countering with examples of his government’s initiatives aimed at fostering national integration, including the implementation of a 'one nation, one tax' system and the abrogation of Article 370, which he argued had long impeded progress.

Modi heralded the Aadhaar system as a representation of national identity and pointed to his government’s focus on inclusivity and development through various schemes. He emphasized that after 70 years of independence, a unified Constitution is finally being realized, and the recent elections in Jammu and Kashmir reflect a new era of equitable representation.

The Prime Minister reiterated that unity is essential for economic growth and social harmony, framing it as a prerequisite for achieving the nation’s goal of becoming a developed country. As the nation embarks on a two-year celebration of Patel's 150th birth anniversary, Modi called for collective progress, urging citizens to work together towards a united and prosperous India.
