PM Narendra Modi Says "Americans forgot about first 9/11 in 1893, which led to second 9/11,"
New Delhi: Recalling Vivekananda's sacrifices of the anniversary of 9/11 attacks, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said, "Today is 9/11...this day became widely spoken about after 2001 but there was another 9/11 of 1893 which we remember."
"Americans forgot about the first 9/11 in 1893, which is why the second 9/11 took place," said the PM.
Swami Vivekananda raised his voice against the social evils that has entered our society, he said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said this while addressing a students' convention on Monday to mark the 125th anniversary of Swami Vivekananda's Chicago address and BJP ideologue Deendayal Upadhyaya's centenary celebrations.
"We salute Bengalis contribution to the world," said the PM Modi while referring to Rabindranath Tagore's Nobel Prize and Vivekananda's Chicago address.
"People knew no other salutation other than 'ladies and gentlemen'. For the first time, Vivekananda introduced 'brothers and sisters'," said PM Modi.
"I salute those respecting women over 100 times."
The theme of the student convention is 'Young India, New India'.
The convention of students is being held on a day Vivekananda delivered his historic address at Chicago in 1893.
"This year, we are marking 125th anniversary of Swami Vivekananda's Chicago address and Pt. Deendayal Upadhyaya centenary celebrations," the prime minister said in a tweet. "Inspired by the ideals of Swami Vivekananda, we are working tirelessly towards realising the dreams and aspirations of our youth," the prime minister said.
