Delivering an address at the event, PM Modi said, “Today, the entire India and the world is Ram-may. There is extraordinary satisfaction in the heart of every Rama devotee. There is boundless gratitude. There is unfathomable supernatural bliss. The wounds of centuries are being healed. The pain of centuries is being put to rest today. The resolve of centuries is being fulfilled today. Today is the completion of that sacrifice whose fire remained lit for 500 years.” He added, “When Ram went into exile from Ayodhya, he was a prince, but when he returned, he returned as the epitome of righteousness, MaryadaPurushottam Ram.”
