Riding on the popular sentiment to thank the Armed forces for their endless sacrifices and service, PM Modi has launched a #Sandesh2Soldiers campaign. The campaign urges people to reach out to our soldiers who will be protecting our borders instead of celebrating Diwali at home.
A holistic campaign will be launched to urge and invite people to send letters and messages to the armed forces. The idea is to explore how we can make sure that citizens write to soldiers and convey their emotions and gratitude. It will focus on the need to involve the entire population in the cause and increase public interaction with the armed forces.A source close to the PMO told Indian Express.
Apart from letters, people can also send their messages to the soldiers through the Narendra Modi mobile app, MyGov app, and through radio.
This campaign comes on the heels of the PM’s declaration in Bhopal to show “more respect and gratitude” to the Armed Forces.
The messages that the people would be sending in will be read by the PM in his Mann Ki Baat radio show.
