The world today strongly stands with India in its fight against terror: PM Modi
New India will crush the roots of terrorism and those who stand with it: PM Modi
It is extremely heartening to see that the entire country has come forward to help the families of our soldiers and the armed forces: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed his first major public meeting in Rajasthan after the recent state assembly elections in the constituency of Tonk today. Paying his tributes to the martyred CRPF soldiers of the Pulwama terrorist attack, PM Modi said that he along with the entire nation stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the families of the brave martyrs of the country. He further added that the nation was extremely proud of our soldiers who killed one of the masterminds of the dastardly Pulwama attack within 100 hours and sent him to his rightful place.

PM Modi criticised the perpetrators of the Pulwama terrorist attack in the strongest possible terms and assured the nation that the attack will be avenged at the right time, with the rightful measures. He said, “Global peace shall not come to us until this factory of terror ceased to exist and flourish. And that is what we will do. The world today strongly stands with India in its fight against terror and the Modi government is ensuring that terrorists and their sympathisers are punished in every possible manner.”

In this regard, Prime Minister Modi highlighted how a baffled Pakistan is seeing India’s strong and multi-pronged response to the Pulwama terror attack. He said, “This is the New India. This India will no longer remain silent after being so viciously attacked. This India will crush the roots of terrorism and those who stand with it.”

Further expressing satisfaction and gratitude over the overwhelming financial and monetary help that the people of the country have given for the welfare of the families of the martyred soldiers, PM Modi said, “It is extremely heartening to see that the entire country has come forward to help the families of our soldiers and the armed forces. I am told that the people of Tonk have also contributed significant resources to help these families. I am very grateful and proud of each one of you who have come forward to help these grief-struck families of our martyrs.”

Prime Minister Modi further lashed out at the Congress government in Rajasthan for failing to fulfill its promises made to the farmers of Rajasthan during the Assembly elections. He said, “These people neither stand with the Jawan nor with the Kisan. They promised to waive off the loans of all the farmers of Rajasthan. But did they do it? Everyone in the state is witnessing their falsehood behing farm loan waivers. They have totally let down the farmers of our Rajasthan.”

Contrasting this poor state of governance in Congress rule with that of progressive decisions made by BJP government at the Centre, PM Modi described the PM-KISAN Yojana, a historical scheme for small farmers under which such farmers across the country will recieve an annual payment of ₹6,000/- directly in their bank accounts annually.

 

He said, “This scheme will transform the lives of our small and marginal farmers as it will free them from the need to take loans for their agricultural use and will provide financial security to them without any corrupt middlemen. Not only this, our government also recently increased the MSP of farmers’ crops to one and half times more than their cost. Such is the progressive way of governance of BJP governments, be it for farmers or for soldiers.”
