New Delhi, December 29: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday described the upcoming 'Maha Kumbh' as the "mahakumbh of unity" as he asked people to return from the grand religious congregation with the resolve to banish hate and division from the society.
Speaking in his monthly Mann ki Baat broadcast, Modi said, "Mahakumbh ka sandesh ek ho pura desh (Message from the Maha Kumbh should be that the entire country must be united)." Maha Kumbh Mela 2025: North Central Railways To Set Up Child Help Desk ‘Bal Adhikaar Desk’ at Prayagraj Stations.
Noting the variety of people who visit the congregation, which will be held in Prayagraj from January 13, he said there is no other example of such a scene of unity in diversity. "Mahakumbh's speciality lies not just in its vastness but also in its diversity," he said.
The mega-religious event is held every 12 years. Modi also pointed out that the next Republic Day will mark the 75th anniversary of the implementation of the Constitution. It is a matter of pride for the countrymen, he said, and asserted that the Constitution has stood every test of time.

"It is our guiding light," he said, adding that he reached this position in his life due to the Constitution. Modi said a website, constitution75.com, has been launched to connect people with its provisions and spirit. Opposition parties have often accused his government of weakening the Constitution, a charge vehemently denied by the ruling party.
Modi has constantly highlighted his government's efforts to strengthen constitutional values and spirit, and has, in turn, accused the main opposition Congress of subverting the country's guiding document whenever it was in power.
