The Prime Minister, speaking at the ceremony, remarked that Goa’s land and water had been gifted by nature. ‘Goa came under Portugal rule when the other major part of the country was ruled by the Mughals. But even centuries later, neither Goa has forgotten its Indianness, nor India has forgotten its Goa’, he added.
On the celebration of Goa Liberation Day, PM Modi paid floral tributes at the Martyrs’ Memorial in Panaji and joined the Sail Parade and FlyPast.
