NEW DELHI: The Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the India Today conclave in New Delhi. Modi said that India felt the absence of the Rafale fighter jet recently, over which a lot of politics has been played. He appreciated the India Today Group for the awareness spread by them about the Swachh Bharat Mission.
Reflecting on his tenure so far, as Prime Minister, he said that his relative lack of experience at the national level turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Taking the example of apprehensions that were expressed with regard to the conduct of foreign policy, he said that the events of the last few days would have set at rest doubts in this regard.
He asserted that today's India is a New India and a different India. He said the life of every soldier is precious, and today no one can mess with India. He said the Government is committed to taking every decision in the national interest.
He said certain elements both inside and outside the country, who are against the country, are fearful of this unity seen in India. He added that this fear is actually good. He said enemies are fearful of India's valour, and the corrupt are fearful of the law, and this fear is good. He said New India is marching ahead, confident of its abilities and resources.
He questioned the stance of those, who doubt the intentions of the Government and the Armed Forces. He said that in opposing Narendra Modi, these people have started opposing India as well, and are harming the country. He said such people doubt the Indian Armed Forces but trust those who foment terrorism in India. He strongly criticized those whose actions adversely affect national security.
