Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the 50th Raising Day celebrations of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) on Sunday, CISF Director General Rajesh Ranjan said on Thursday.
“It is a moment of great pride for the CISF as in the last four decades no Prime Minister had graced the occasion of Raising Day parade,” Ranjan said at the CISF annual press briefing.
Asked if there was any specific reason behind the Prime Minister’s decision to join the event, Ranjan said he was not aware.
“I can guess that he may discuss the recent Pulwama attack and the death of a CISF trooper in a Delhi fire and enhance the morale of Central Armed Police Forces,” Ranjan said.
