Prime Minister Modi said, “This Kashi of ours is also the birthplace of a brave woman like Rani Laxmibai. From the brave women like Rani Lakshmi Bai in the freedom struggle to Mission Chandrayaan in modern India, we have proved the power of women leadership in every period.
The Prime Minister said that the Nari Shakti Vandan Act is a far-sighted law. Its strength will increase further when opportunities are created for women at every level from society to family.
He said that we have to create such a society in which women do not need anyone’s help to move forward. For this, legal efforts are also necessary and it is also necessary to strengthen cultural values.
Attacking the opposition parties, especially the Congress, the Prime Minister said, “This law has been named Nari Shakti Vandan Act.” However, some people have a problem with the word ‘Vandan’, now what will they do if they don’t worship mothers?
Congress MP Ranjita Ranjan, while discussing the bill in the House on Thursday, objected to its name ‘Nari Shakti Vandan Act’ and said that equality is the constitutional right of women and it is not appropriate to link it with divine or worship.
Prime Minister Modi sarcastically said, “These people do not understand what is the meaning of worshiping and respecting women, but we have to move towards our goal by avoiding such negative thinking.”
He said that with the blessings of our mothers and sisters, the country will continue to move forward and take decisions in this manner in the Amritkal.
Without discussing the Lok Sabha elections to be held next year, Prime Minister Modi said, “The power of mothers and sisters is my biggest security shield.” Your blessings are my biggest energy.
Giving the example of the passing of the bill, he said, “Take the Nari Shakti Vandan Act, this law was pending for three decades, but today it is your strength that such parties in both the Houses of the Parliament come in support of it.” Pada, who earlier did not get tired of opposing it.
Giving credit to women for this, the Prime Minister said, “Because you mothers and sisters have become aware and united, all these political parties of the country are afraid of you and are trembling, that is why the bill has been passed, this is your strength.” ‘
Reflecting the depth of his relationship with Kashi, Modi said that the Nari Shakti Vandan Act has been passed with a record number of votes and with your grace, your MP from Kashi has got the privilege of this.
Earlier, the Prime Minister said, “Our Kashi is the holy city of Mother Kushmanda, Mother Shringar Gauri, Mother Annapurna and Mother Ganga.” The glory of mother power is attached to every particle here. Vindhyavasini Devi is also not far from Banaras. The city of Kashi has also been a witness to the virtuous deeds and management of Goddess Ahilya Bai Holkar, hence after the historic law like Nari Shakti Vandan Act was passed in the Parliament, I have first come to Kashi to seek your blessings.
Modi said that it is my good fortune that you are blessing us in such large numbers. Coincidentally, Durga Puja festival is going to start in some time. Preparations are going on to set up Durga Puja pandals at various places in Banaras. Nari Shakti Act has increased the enthusiasm of Navratri manifold this time.
Expressing the possibility, he said, “This law will open new avenues for the development of women of the country.” The presence of women in Lok Sabha and Assembly will increase. I congratulate you and the mothers and sisters of the country from the holy land of Kashi for this achievement.
Modi said that in the last nine years, we worked keeping the entire lives of women and their dreams at the center.
He said, “We have very little tradition of keeping property in the name of women. Car, land, shop were all bought in the name of men, but Modi has come and started the tradition of property in the name of mothers, sisters and daughters.
He said, “We also made a provision to give houses in the names of women in the PM Awas Yojana.” Because of this, even in Kashi today, house registration has been done in the names of thousands of women. This has also increased their importance in the family and society.
Modi said, “Today, from the playground to flying Rafale, our daughters are doing wonders. Our Banaras is a witness to how much development accelerates when women get equal opportunities.
Enumerating the schemes implemented by his government and the benefits it provides to women, the Prime Minister said that a large number of women self-help groups have been formed in Banaras and Purvanchal.
