“You have brought respect to our profession. We are with you and the entire nation is with you”, said Santosh Kumar, a security guard from Odisha. The Prime Minister said that the entire nation is proud of the armed forces and their strong decisive action against the perpetrators of Pulwama attack. He strongly criticized the opposition for demotivating the forces through their statements and actions. He added that the nation will never forgive the opposition for their misinformation campaign.

The Prime Minister said that all those who work for the betterment of the country and are committed towards fulfilling the dreams of others are chowkidars. He urged everyone to keep a Chowkidar alive inside them.

The Prime Minister said that he is not deterred by the abuses of opposition, but rather converts those into appreciation. He added that he as a Chowkidar is committed towards the safety, security and development of the country.
