Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin's appreciation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's tireless efforts towards global peace brings immense pride to every Indian. Shah made these remarks in a post on the X platform on October 2, 2026, noting that Putin's statement coincidentally aligns with the Jayanti of Mahatma Gandhi, who gave the world the message of peace and non-violence.
Shah emphasized that India under Modi's leadership has emerged as a trusted voice for global peace, particularly during periods marked by wars, conflicts, and turbulence. He stated that Modi has consistently conveyed the message that solutions do not emerge from battlefields but through dialogue and diplomacy. India has always stepped forward with help and assistance in situations of war or calamity, giving new recognition to the country's timeless tradition of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' (the world is one family).
This development has positioned India's voice as significantly important during global crises, with Modi's words being listened to with keen attention internationally. The statement was released by the Ministry of Home Affairs as part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations and was posted by PIB Delhi at 7:56 PM on October 2, 2026.
