On Monday 24th June 2013 Shri Narendra Modi attacked the Congress led UPA Government for their repeated attempts to misuse the CBI for political purposes. He said that the Centre may try as many attempts using the CBI but this will not stop the development journey of Gujarat. “Because of the fear of the CBI we will not ruin the future of the youth of Gujarat! I am aware of the turn things can take but we are prepared,” affirmed the Chief Minister. He added that the nation has lost faith in the CBI. Shri Modi was speaking during a function of the Swami Vivekananda Youth Employment Week at Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar where employment letters were handed to youngsters.

Shri Modi said, “Nowadays, half of the papers are filled with news about CBI. With every passing day the Government is hatching new conspiracies and their biggest tool in this is the CBI, which is now the Congress bureau of investigation.” He went on to say, “I tell the Government in Delhi, standing in front of the youth of Gujarat, do not show us the fear of CBI!” Shri Modi commented that for all the politicization of CBI, its misuse to trouble innocent people, the Government of India would have to answer to the people. Referring to those who are being a part of this to please political masters, Shri Modi said that what they are doing is not the right thing in a democracy.

The Chief Minister affirmed, “Truth must be presented as truth. Do not spread lies to defame Gujarat.” He urged the Government to devote more time to relief operations in flood affected Uttarakhand rather than working on political matters using the CBI. “CBI is working in political matters. You use the CBI to jail Modi, his ministers but spend that much time on relief work in Uttarakhand. Spend time to serve those that are suffering and if you want to complete, let us compete, let us compete on how many jobs we can give to the youth and how many jobs you can give to the youth.”

Shri Modi stated that there were elections in Gujarat recently where the Congress could have explained their stand to the people. “If you had explained to the people, they may have voted us out of power and we would have accepted it. But the people of Gujarat showed their affection for us and then you use CBI. But, I am not the one who is scared of CBI,” he avowed. Shri Modi also stressed on the need to stand shoulder to shoulder in taking Gujarat to new heights of development, taking the development to the poor, serving the needy and giving jobs to the youth.

Large number of youngsters were present on the occasion and Shri Modi’s points of the misuse of CBI were met with thunderous applause from the youth repeatedly.

Prime Minister reaffirms commitment to wildlife conservation on World Wildlife Day; shares Sanskrit Subhashitam
March 03, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi said that World Wildlife Day is about celebrating the incredible faunal diversity that enriches our planet and sustains our ecosystems. He said it is a day to acknowledge everyone working towards wildlife protection and reaffirm our commitment to conservation, sustainable practices and protecting habitats so that wildlife continues to thrive.

The Prime Minister noted that India cherishes being home to some of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife. He highlighted that India is home to over 70% of the world’s tiger population, has the largest population of the one-horned rhino and the maximum number of Asiatic elephants. He further stated that India is the only place in the world where the majestic Asiatic lion thrives.

The Prime Minister underlined that the Government has undertaken numerous efforts for wildlife protection. These include the setting up of the International Big Cat Alliance as an exceptional forum to share best practices with fellow nations. Other efforts include initiatives aimed at protecting the Great Indian Bustard, Gharial and Sloth Bear, as well as the translocation of cheetahs.

Emphasising India’s cultural ethos, the Prime Minister said that our scriptures pray for the welfare of all living beings and inspire sensitivity towards wildlife along with conservation. He shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam on this occasion which says-

“निर्वनो वध्यते व्याघ्रो निर्व्याघ्रं छिद्यते वनम्। तस्माद् व्याघ्रो वनं रक्षेद् वनं व्याघ्रं च पालयेत्॥”

The Subhashitam conveys that without forests, tigers perish; and without tigers, forests are destroyed. Therefore, the tiger protects the forest and the forest protects the tiger, underscoring the deep interdependence of nature.

In a series of X posts, Shri Modi said;

“World Wildlife Day is about celebrating the incredible faunal diversity that enriches our planet and sustains our ecosystems. It is a day to acknowledge everyone working towards wildlife protection. We reaffirm our commitment to conservation, sustainable practices and protecting habitats so that our wildlife continues to thrive.”

“We in India cherish the fact that we are home to some of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife. We are home to over 70% of the world’s tiger population. We have the largest population of the one-horned rhino, the maximum Asiatic elephants. India is the only place in the world where the majestic Asiatic lion thrives.”

“The NDA Government has undertaken numerous efforts for wildlife protection. This includes the setting up of the International Big Cat Alliance, an exceptional forum to share best practices with fellow nations. Other efforts include those aimed at protecting the Great Indian Bustard, Gharial, Sloth Bear and translocation of cheetahs.”

“आज World Wildlife Day है। हमारे शास्त्रों में सभी जीवों के कल्याण की कामना की गई है। उनसे हमें वन्यजीवों के संरक्षण के साथ-साथ उनके प्रति संवेदनशील होने की प्रेरणा भी मिलती है। उसका एक उदाहरण यह है… निर्वनो वध्यते व्याघ्रो निर्व्याघ्रं छिद्यते वनम्। तस्माद् व्याघ्रो वनं रक्षेद् वनं व्याघ्रं च पालयेत्॥”
