PM Modi likely to drop his 17th April Gujarat visit plan
April 12, 2023
Gandhinagar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Prabhas Patan – Somnath in Gujarat which was likely to take place on 17th April is now canceled, it is learned. Earlier the Prime Minister had allotted 11 am to 1 pm time for his Somnath visit on 17 April.
According to sources, the visit is canceled due to his meeting with a foreign delegation. Union Home Minister Amit Shah or Union Defense Minister Rajnath Singh is likely to visit Gujarat instead of PM Modi. PM Modi was to pay a visit to Somnath to welcome the Saurashtra-origin Tamilians who are going to participate in Saurashtra Tamil Sangam on 17th April.
Saurashtra Tamil Sangam is going to be held from 17th to 26th April. The Saurashtra-origin Tamils will be visiting Somnath, Dwarka, Vadodara, the Statue of Unity, and other places. The people who migrated to Tamil Nadu from Saurashtra centuries ago followed the Islamic invasion and related atrocities.
A train from Madurai in Tamil Nadu will arrive on 17th April at Somnath with 300 Saurashtra-origin Tamilians in the first batch to participate in Saurashtra Tamil Sangam. DeshGujarat
