President Murmu Delays Sabarimala Visit Due to Rising India-Pakistan Tensions
President Droupadi Murmu has decided to postpone her planned visit to Sabarimala due to the increasing tensions between India and Pakistan. The decision comes as the situation between the two countries has become more sensitive, and the government is focusing on national security.
The visit to Sabarimala, a famous temple in Kerala, was supposed to take place soon, but the President’s office announced the delay after careful consideration of the current geopolitical situation. President Murmu, who values her connection with religious sites and the people of India, expressed regret for the change in plans but emphasized the importance of prioritizing the nation’s security.
The decision to postpone the visit was made to avoid drawing attention during a period of rising tensions. The government believes that it is crucial to focus on stability and avoid any distractions that could arise from official visits during such times.
In her statement, President Murmu said, “While I had been looking forward to visiting Sabarimala, the current situation requires me to stay focused on national matters. I trust the public will understand the necessity of this decision.”
The President’s visit was highly anticipated by the people of Kerala and the broader Indian public. Many people had hoped to see her participate in the rituals and offer prayers at the temple, but the government felt it was more important to remain focused on the country’s safety and security, especially given the tense atmosphere at the borders.
Officials have not set a new date for the visit but assured the public that President Murmu remains committed to her duties and will plan the visit to Sabarimala when the situation improves. The President also thanked the people of Kerala for their understanding and support.
The delay in the visit reflects the government’s commitment to ensuring peace and maintaining the focus on national interests in times of rising international tensions.
