We have spent the last five years in infusing vigour and strength in our armed forces and developing a coherent policy on national security that ensures greater security for all Indians: PM Modi
We conducted surgical strikes and air strikes against Pakistan-based terrorists to send our message to the world that India is well capable of defending itself: PM Modi in Haryana
The BJP government in Haryana has been continuously carrying out development and providing a clean and transparent government for every community in the state: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed two large public meetings in Fatehabad and Kurukshetra in Haryana today. Addressing the jam-packed rallies, PM Modi lashed out the national security policy of the Congress party saying it was too soft on addressing national security issues thereby ‘betraying’ the soldiers of India. 

Elaborating the BJP government’s approach to national security, PM Modi said, “No country can emerge as a superpower in the absence of a strong national security policy and hence we have spent the last five years in infusing vigour and strength in our armed forces and developing a coherent policy on national security that ensures greater security for all Indians while allowing no tolerance for terrorists and their sympathizers. This is why we conducted surgical strikes and air strikes against Pakistan-based terrorists to send our message to the world that India is well capable of defending itself.” 

PM Modi also indirectly attacked the former Haryana government led by Congress CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda for fraudulent land deals during their term saying, “The Congress has done ‘Bhrashtachaar ki Kheti’ and the best proof for this can be found from Haryana itself where the former CM of Haryana and the remote-controlled government in Delhi bought farmers’ land at throwaway prices and were involved in huge corruption scams. In contrast, the BJP government led by CM Manohar Lal Khattar has been continuously carrying out development in Haryana for every community while providing a clean and transparent government to people.” 

Enlisting the major strides taken by the BJP government in improving people’s lives since 2014, PM Modi said, “From constructing rural roads to satellites and from building highways to I-ways, our government has achieved historic milestones in enhancing the quality of life for every Indian.” He also took digs at the ‘Premvarsha’ politics of Congress and said, “Their actions totally contradict their words, on one hand they talk of ‘Premvarsha’ (politics of love and compassion’ while on the other hand, they rain down incessant abuses on me and my humble background, calling me names like ‘Neech,’ ‘mentally retarded,’ ‘Most stupid PM,’ ‘Maut ka Saudagar’ and even ‘Hitler.’ Is this the politics of love that Congress party espouses against its opponents? The people of this country remember every abuse hurled at Modi and will give a befitting response to Congress ‘Namdars’ on 23rd May.”

Prime Minister welcomes Param Vir Gallery at Rashtrapati Bhavan as a tribute to the nation’s indomitable heroes
December 17, 2025
Param Vir Gallery reflects India’s journey away from colonial mindset towards renewed national consciousness: PM
Param Vir Gallery will inspire youth to connect with India’s tradition of valour and national resolve: Prime Minister

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, has welcomed the Param Vir Gallery at Rashtrapati Bhavan and said that the portraits displayed there are a heartfelt tribute to the nation’s indomitable heroes and a mark of the country’s gratitude for their sacrifices. He said that these portraits honour those brave warriors who protected the motherland through their supreme sacrifice and laid down their lives for the unity and integrity of India.

The Prime Minister noted that dedicating this gallery of Param Vir Chakra awardees to the nation in the dignified presence of two Param Vir Chakra awardees and the family members of other awardees makes the occasion even more special.

The Prime Minister said that for a long period, the galleries at Rashtrapati Bhavan displayed portraits of soldiers from the British era, which have now been replaced by portraits of the nation’s Param Vir Chakra awardees. He stated that the creation of the Param Vir Gallery at Rashtrapati Bhavan is an excellent example of India’s effort to emerge from a colonial mindset and connect the nation with a renewed sense of consciousness. He also recalled that a few years ago, several islands in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands were named after Param Vir Chakra awardees.

Highlighting the importance of the gallery for the younger generation, the Prime Minister said that these portraits and the gallery will serve as a powerful place for youth to connect with India’s tradition of valour. He added that the gallery will inspire young people to recognise the importance of inner strength and resolve in achieving national objectives, and expressed hope that this place will emerge as a vibrant pilgrimage embodying the spirit of a Viksit Bharat.

In a thread of posts on X, Shri Modi said;

“हे भारत के परमवीर…
है नमन तुम्हें हे प्रखर वीर !

ये राष्ट्र कृतज्ञ बलिदानों पर…
भारत मां के सम्मानों पर !

राष्ट्रपति भवन की परमवीर दीर्घा में देश के अदम्य वीरों के ये चित्र हमारे राष्ट्र रक्षकों को भावभीनी श्रद्धांजलि हैं। जिन वीरों ने अपने सर्वोच्च बलिदान से मातृभूमि की रक्षा की, जिन्होंने भारत की एकता और अखंडता के लिए अपना जीवन दिया…उनके प्रति देश ने एक और रूप में अपनी कृतज्ञता अर्पित की है। देश के परमवीरों की इस दीर्घा को, दो परमवीर चक्र विजेताओं और अन्य विजेताओं के परिवारजनों की गरिमामयी उपस्थिति में राष्ट्र को अर्पित किया जाना और भी विशेष है।”

“एक लंबे कालखंड तक, राष्ट्रपति भवन की गैलरी में ब्रिटिश काल के सैनिकों के चित्र लगे थे। अब उनके स्थान पर, देश के परमवीर विजेताओं के चित्र लगाए गए हैं। राष्ट्रपति भवन में परमवीर दीर्घा का निर्माण गुलामी की मानसिकता से निकलकर भारत को नवचेतना से जोड़ने के अभियान का एक उत्तम उदाहरण है। कुछ साल पहले सरकार ने अंडमान-निकोबार द्वीप समूह में कई द्वीपों के नाम भी परमवीर चक्र विजेताओं के नाम पर रखे हैं।”

“ये चित्र और ये दीर्घा हमारी युवा पीढ़ी के लिए भारत की शौर्य परंपरा से जुड़ने का एक प्रखर स्थल है। ये दीर्घा युवाओं को ये प्रेरणा देगी कि राष्ट्र उद्देश्य के लिए आत्मबल और संकल्प महत्वपूर्ण होते है। मुझे आशा है कि ये स्थान विकसित भारत की भावना का एक प्रखर तीर्थ बनेगा।”
