Speaking at the event, the prime minister said the land and sea of Goa have been blessed with nature’s boon.
“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.
