Pic\/News18<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">Shiv Sena MPs on Tuesday honoured Prime Minister Narendra Modi in traditional Maharashtrian style for the inclusion of Maharashtra\u2019s forts in the UNESCO list and the success of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/world\/baseless-provocative-pakistan-rejects-indias-operation-sindoor-claims-in-lok-sabha-ws-l-9474252.html\">Operation Sindoor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched Operation Sindoor for India\u2019s security and took the initiative to include Maharashtra\u2019s forts in the UNESCO World Heritage List, the lawmakers said. Under the leadership of Shiv Sena\u2019s parliamentary leader Dr Shrikant Shinde, the MPs met the Prime Minister to congratulate and appreciate his efforts. They also extended best wishes for the upcoming Vice Presidential election. In turn, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the work of all Shiv Sena MPs.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Apart from Shinde, the Shiv Sena delegation included spokesperson and MP Naresh Mhaske, as well as MPs Shrirang Barne, Dhairyasheel Mane, Ravindra Waikar, Milind Deora, and Prataprao Jadhav, among others.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">During the meeting, the MPs honoured PM Modi by presenting him with an idol of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and adorning him with a Puneri turban. The PM recalled, \u201cChhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is my inspiration. When I contested the Lok Sabha elections and entered the race for the post of Prime Minister, I first went to Raigad, paid my respects to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, worshipped him, and only then went on to become Prime Minister.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">The MPs said that every Indian, especially every citizen of Maharashtra, is filled with pride and emotion. Due to PM Modi\u2019s tireless efforts and visionary leadership, a historic decision was taken at the 47th session of the World Heritage Committee held in Paris, they added. Out of 20 countries, 18 supported India\u2019s proposal.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Twelve forts established by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj have been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. This is India\u2019s 44th World Heritage Site, placing the country sixth globally and second in the Asia-Pacific region. On behalf of the Shiv Sena parliamentary party, the MPs expressed deep gratitude and appreciation for this historic achievement.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">The forts included in the list are Salher, Shivneri, Lohgad, Khanderi, Raigad, Rajgad, Pratapgad, Suvarnadurg, Panhala, Vijaydurg, and Sindhudurg in Maharashtra, along with Gingee Fort in Tamil Nadu. Their inclusion reflects the expanse of Maratha heritage. These forts, stretching from hilltops to coastal outposts, are remarkable examples of Maratha territorial divisions and defence planning. The MPs said this decision will highlight Maharashtra\u2019s rich heritage and instil new pride and consciousness about history among the youth. It will ensure the preservation of the forts, boost tourism, and turn them into significant research sites. Maharashtra\u2019s economy will also gain fresh impetus, they added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">The Prime Minister has called upon citizens across the country to visit these forts and learn about the glorious history of the Maratha Empire. Shiv Sena MPs believe PM Modi\u2019s appeal will inspire every Indian to connect with their roots. They also conveyed that their party stands firmly with the PM in every effort to preserve and enhance these historic legacies.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-2918603866 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/politics\/\">politics<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Shiv Sena MPs Honour PM Modi For Operation Sindoor Success, UNESCO Recognition Of Maratha Forts<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
