Earlier in the day, PM Modi also wished Indians on the occasion and said that Hindi will continue to "strengthen the thread of national unity and goodwill".
"Best wishes to all my family members on Hindi Diwas. I wish that the Hindi language will continue to strengthen the thread of national unity and goodwill," he wrote on X.
