Prime Minister Narendra Modi honored the late Atal Bihari Vajpayee on his 100th birth anniversary, praising his role in India's growth and reforms. 

PM Modi pays tribute to Atal Bihari Vajpayee on his 100th birth anniversary

Coming from humble roots, Vajpayee realised the struggles of the common citizen and the transformative power of effective governance, Modi said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Atal Bihari Vajpayee as the architect of India's transition into the 21st century and said the BJP stalwart ushered in reforms that set the stage for India's economic surge, abandoning an economic philosophy which encouraged cronyism and stagnation.
&nbsp;
&lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;&lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Today, on Atal Ji&rsquo;s 100th birth anniversary, penned a few thoughts on his monumental contribution to our nation and how his efforts transformed many lives.&lt;a href="https://t.co/mFwp6s0uNX"&gt;https://t.co/mFwp6s0uNX&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;mdash; Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/narendramodi/status/1871755829281743232?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;December 25, 2024&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&nbsp;
In an article which appeared in several newspapers on the 100th birth anniversary of Vajpayee, Modi said he spent his long parliamentary tenure largely in the opposition benches but never carried any trace of bitterness even though the Congress stooped to new lows by going to the extent of calling him a "traitor".
Modi said, "He stands tall as a statesman who continues to inspire countless people."
The prime minister said Vajpayee provided stable and effective governance at a time when people were getting impatient and sceptical about the government's ability to deliver due to the political instability of the 90s when four Lok Sabha polls were held in about nine years.
Coming from humble roots, Vajpayee realised the struggles of the common citizen and the transformative power of effective governance, Modi said, adding that the long-term impact of his leadership is visible in several sectors.
His era marked a gigantic leap in the world of information technology, telecom and communications, he said.
"The NDA government under Atal ji made the first serious attempt to make technology accessible to citizens. At the same time, there was foresight in connecting India. Even today, most people recall the Golden Quadrilateral Project which connected the length and breadth of India," he said.
He also cited initiatives like the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana and the push for Metro connectivity by doing extensive work for the Delhi Metro, which stands out as a world-class infrastructure project.
He said, "The Vajpayee government not only boosted economic growth but also brought distant regions closer, fostering unity and integration."
An initiative like the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan highlights how Vajpayee dreamt of building an India where modern education is accessible to people across the nation, particularly the poor and marginalised sections, he added.
His government's decision to carry out nuclear tests and its handling of the aftermath provide a wonderful example of his leadership, Modi said.
He said, "The world was stunned that India had done the tests and expressed their anger in no uncertain terms. Any ordinary leader would have buckled, but Atal ji was made differently. And what happened? India stood firm, with the government calling for another set of tests two days later, on May 13."
If the tests of May 11, 1998, showed scientific skill, the ones on May 13 showed true leadership, he said.
It was a message to the world that gone were the days when India would buckle under threats or pressure, he said.
Despite facing international sanctions, Modi said, the NDA government stood firm, articulating India's right to safeguard its sovereignty while simultaneously being the strongest proponent of world peace.
Modi said Vajpayee understood Indian democracy and also the need to make it stronger. He presided over the creation of the NDA, which redefined coalitions in Indian politics and became a force for development, national progress and regional ambitions.
"His parliamentary brilliance was seen throughout his political journey. He belonged to a party with a handful of MPs but his words were enough to rattle the might of the all-powerful Congress Party that time. As Prime Minister, he blunted the criticisms of the Opposition with style and substance," Modi said.
Vajpayee was not one to cling to power through opportunistic means. He preferred to resign in 1996 instead of following the path of horse-trading and dirty politics, the prime minister said, adding that his government fell by one vote in 1999.
Eventually, he came back with another resounding mandate from the people.
Modi said, "When it comes to commitment to protecting our Constitution too, Atal ji stands tall. He was deeply impacted by the martyrdom of Syama Prasad Mookerjee. Years later, he was a pillar of the anti-Emergency movement."
In the run-up to the 1977 elections, he agreed to the merger of his own party (Jana Sangh) into the Janata Party as safeguarding the Constitution was all that mattered to him, he said.
Modi noted that as external affairs minister, Vajpayee became the first Indian leader to speak in Hindi at the United Nations, noting that this shows how deeply rooted he was in the Indian culture.
His persona was magnetic and his life was enriched by his love for literature and expression, he said.
Modi said for so many Bharatiya Janata Party members like him, it is their privilege that they were able to learn and interact with a person like Vajpayee.
Whenever the choice came between ideology and power, Vajpayee always chose the former, Modi said.
"He was able to convince the nation that an alternative world view from the Congress was possible and such a world view could deliver," he said, asking people to rededicate themselves to realising his ideals and fulfilling his vision for India.

On the birth anniversary of former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee, President Droupadi Murmu, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to him.

President, Modi pay tribute to former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee on his birth anniversary

On the birth anniversary of former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee, President Droupadi Murmu, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to him.

President Droupadi Murmu, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited 'Sadaiv Atal' memorial in Delhi to pay floral tribute to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on his birth anniversary.
Union Ministers Rajnath Singh, Nirmala Sitharaman, Ashwini Vaishnaw, Anurag Thakur and other leaders also paid tribute to the BJP stalwart on the occasion.
Earlier today, in a post on X, Modi said that Vajpayee's dedication and service towards Mother India will remain a source of inspiration in "Amritkaal".

The Kargil war - in Pervez Musharraf's imagination, it was an opportunity to go down as one of the greatest in history books. In reality, it was a moment of utter humiliation for the entire nation of Pakistan.
The Kargil conflict was a 60-day war which took place between May and July 1999. It occurred in the Kargil-Drass sector of Jammu and Kashmir.
The war began with infiltration from the Pakistan-controlled side. Islamabad initially blamed terrorists, but subsequently, it was proven that Pakistan army soldiers were part of the operation.
Over 500 Indian soldiers were killed in the action, but Indian eventually claimed victory on July 26, 1999. The day is celebrated as Vijay Diwas every year.
As Pakistan army chief, Pervez Musharraf had masterminded the Kargil operation. Musharraf had reportedly presented a similar plan to Benazir Bhutto when she was Prime Minister, but she had rejected it.
Eventually, Musharraf launched the operation when Nawaz Sharif was in power. The Pakistani general wanted to catch India off-guard, and quickly capture territory.
Musharraf thought that once the war started, the West would be forced intervene to prevent a wider conflict between two nuclear powers, and a ceasefire would cement Pakistan's territorial gains.
However, the plan back-fired as India responded fiercely, and decimated Pakistani forces. Years later, one of Nawaz Sharif's close aides claimed that Musharraf had launched the war to derail India-Pakistan talks.

Pervez Musharraf's Kargil war blunder: how India's response decimated Pakistan army chief's plan

Pervez Musharraf's Kargil blunder: he reportedly thought that the West would intervene to stop a wider conflict between 2 nuclear powers, and a ceasefire would cement Pakistan's territorial gains.

Pervez Musharraf was born on August 11, 1943 in undivided India's Delhi. After Partition in 1947, his family moved to Pakistan. The son of a career diplomat, he chose a life in the armed forces. Musharraf fought in the 1965 and 1971 India-Pakistan wars.
After serving in the artillery, the infantry, and commando units, and teaching stints at the Staff College in Quetta and the War Wing of the National Defence College, Musharraf finally reached the top office. He was appointed chief of army staff in October 1998 by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
A year later, Musharraf overthrew Sharif, and snatched power in a bloodless coup. In 2001, he declared himself the President of Pakistan. A year later, elections were held but after disqualification of Sharif, and Benazir Bhutto.
In 2007, Musharraf's re-election bid led to a clash with the judiciary. The dictator sacked the Chief Justice, imposed emergency, and arrested Opposition leaders.
However, in the 2008 elections, Musharraf's party fared badly. Subsequently, the Sharif-Zardari coalition pursued Musharraf's impeachment leading to his resignation as President in August 2008.
Musharraf tried to make a political comeback in 2013, but was arrested under various cases. Three years later, the former dictator went to Dubai for medical treatment. In 2018, it came to light that Musharraf was suffering from amyloidosis.
In 2019, he was sentenced to death after being found guilty of high treason for subverting the Constitution in 2007. Musharraf's execution was considered unlikely as he was not expected to return to Pakistan from Dubai. A year later, the conviction and death sentence were overturned.
On June 10, Musharraf's family tweeted from his account that had been hospitalised for 3 weeks due to a complication of his ailment. The statement said that Musharraf was going through a difficult stage where recovery was not possible and his organs were malfunctioning.
