‘Hua Toh Hua’ statement by senior Congress leader riots has yet again shown the anti-Sikh face of the Congress as well as their indifference towards the historical wrongs committed against the Sikh community: PM Modi
Mere lip service of condemnation to the anti-Sikh statements of Congress leaders by the Congress ‘Namdar’ does not heal the victims’ wounds: PM Modi
The entire Congress party including its President must be ashamed of their actions in 1984 and must answer the Sikh community for their reckless statements: Prime Minister Modi  

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed another large rally in Bathinda in Punjab this evening in which he slammed the Congress party for the anti-Sikh riots in 1984 as well as for failing to provide justice to the victims despite being in power for decades.


PM Modi fiercely criticized the Congress for its direct involvement in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots which led to the gruesome killings of thousands of Sikhs across north India. He said that the recent statement by a senior Congress leader trying to justify those infamous riots has yet again shown the anti-Sikh face of the Congress as well as their leaders’ indifference and arrogance towards the historical wrongs committed by them against the Sikh community.

Terming today’s statement by the Congress President condemning the ‘Hua Toh Hua’ statement by his colleague as a ‘lip service,’ PM Modi said, “Mere lip service of condemnation to the anti-Sikh statements of Congress leaders by the Congress ‘Namdar’ makes no difference to the victims and their families who have suffered for more than three decades now and are still waiting for justice to be served to them. The entire Congress party including its President must be ashamed of their actions in 1984 and must answer the Sikh community for their reckless statements.

PM to Inaugurate Grand International Exposition of Sacred Piprahwa Relics related to Bhagwan Buddha on 3rd January
January 01, 2026
Piprahwa Relics are among earliest and most historically significant relics directly connected to Bhagwan Buddha
Exposition titled “The Light & the Lotus: Relics of the Awakened One” provides insights into the life of Bhagwan Buddha
Exposition showcases India’s enduring Buddhist heritage
Exposition brings together Repatriated Relics and Archaeological Treasures of Piprahwa after more than a century

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Grand International Exposition of Sacred Piprahwa Relics related to Bhagwan Buddha, titled “The Light & the Lotus: Relics of the Awakened One”, on 3rd January, 2026 at around 11 AM at the Rai Pithora Cultural Complex, New Delhi.

The Exposition brings together, for the first time, the Piprahwa relics repatriated after more than a century with authentic relics and archaeological materials from Piprahwa that are preserved in the collections of the National Museum, New Delhi, and the Indian Museum, Kolkata.

Discovered in 1898, the Piprahwa relics hold a central place in the archaeological study of early Buddhism. These are among the earliest and most historically significant relic deposits directly connected to Bhagwan Buddha. Archaeological evidence associates the Piprahwa site with ancient Kapilavastu, widely identified as the place where Bhagwan Buddha spent his early life prior to renunciation.

The exposition highlights India’s deep and continuing civilizational link with the teachings of Bhagwan Buddha and reflects the Prime Minister’s commitment to preserve India’s rich spiritual and cultural heritage. The recent repatriation of these relics has been achieved through sustained government effort, institutional cooperation and innovative public-private partnership.

The exhibition is organised thematically. At its centre is a reconstructed interpretive model inspired by the Sanchi stupa, which brings together authentic relics from national collections and the repatriated gems. Other sections include Piprahwa Revisited, Vignettes of the Life of Buddha, Intangible in the Tangible: The Aesthetic Language of Buddhist Teachings, Expansion of Buddhist Art and Ideals Beyond Borders, and Repatriation of Cultural Artefacts: The Continuing Endeavour.

To enhance public understanding, the exposition is supported by a comprehensive audio-visual component, including immersive films, digital reconstructions, interpretive projections, and multimedia presentations. These elements provide accessible insights into the life of Bhagwan Buddha, the discovery of the Piprahwa relics, their movement across regions, and the artistic traditions associated with them.
