Speaking in a function held at Kanniyakumari district on Friday, after inaugurating various welfare schemes, Modi said “the events of the past two days have demonstrated yet again the strength of our armed forces.

Taking on the UPA government charging that it haven’t allowed any surgical strikes in the past on terrorism, the prime minister acclaimed that “When 26/11 happened nothing has been done effectively but when ‘Uri’ happened you (people) saw so what our army soldiers did and when ‘Pulwama’ happened you (people) saw what our brave air force warriors did. I salute those all who serving the nation that vigilance keep our nation secured”.
“Today we are in an era where the news reads armed forces have full freedom to do what they want. Influence of terrorist and terrorism has been curtailed and it is going to be curtailed even more. This is new India. This India will return the damages by the terrorist with interest”, Modi said.

No wonder while the entire nation supports our armed forces they suspect our armed forces. The world is supporting India in the fight against terror but few parties fails to respect our fight against terror.”
“These are the same People whose steps are helping Pakistan and harming India. They are the same people whose steps are happily quoted in the parliament of Pakistan and in the radio of Pakistan. I want to ask them do you support our armed forces or suspect them? They should clarify (that) do they believe (in) our armed forces or those force who support terrorism in our soil” He added.
Modi further said that “I want to tell the parties Modi will come and go India will remain please stop Sickening India to strengthen your vote politics in the matter of Defence and national security we are Indians first and Indians only. Your politics can wait. It is the safety of our nation that is at stake
