The Prime Minister posted on X:

"उत्तराखंड के पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री मेजर जनरल भुवन चंद्र खण्डूडी (सेवानिवृत्त) जी के निधन से अत्यंत दुख हुआ है। सशस्त्र बलों से लेकर राजनीतिक जगत में उन्होंने बहुमूल्य योगदान दिया, जिसके लिए उन्हें सदैव याद किया जाएगा। उत्तराखंड के विकास के लिए वे हमेशा समर्पित रहे, जो मुख्यमंत्री के रूप में उनके कार्यकाल में भी साफ तौर पर दिखा। केंद्रीय मंत्री के रूप में भी उनका कार्यकाल हर किसी को प्रेरित करने वाला है। देशभर में कनेक्टिविटी की बेहतरी के लिए उन्होंने निरंतर अथक प्रयास किए। शोक की इस घड़ी में मेरी संवेदनाएं उनके परिजनों और समर्थकों के साथ हैं। ओम शांति!"

May 19, 2026

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam, noting that Mother Earth considers all of humanity as one family. Shri Modi highlighted that for her, this entire world is like a home, where every culture has its own importance and respect.

The Prime Minister posted on X:

"धरती माता पूरी मानवता को एक परिवार मानती हैं। उनके लिए यह पूरा संसार एक घर की तरह है, जहां हर संस्कृति का अपना महत्त्व और सम्मान है।

जनं बिभ्रती बहुधा विवाचसं नानाधर्माणं पृथिवी यथौकसम्।
सहस्रं धारा द्रविणस्य मे दुहां ध्रुवेव धेनुरनपस्फुरन्ती ॥"

Mother Earth embraces people speaking different languages and practicing different religions and traditions as members of a single household. May this earth pour forth thousands of streams of prosperity for us, just as a peaceful and loving cow provides milk.
