Srinagar, Aug 15 (KINS): The Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sunday said that India is dealing effectively with both “terrorism and expansionism”.
According to news agency KINS, the PM said those who challenged India’s sovereignty, be it at LOC or LAC, have been given a befitting reply in their own language.
He asserted that India became a challenge to forces of expansionism with its freedom struggle. The Prime Minister said that respect for India’s sovereignty is supreme and the world has seen in Ladakh what country’s brave soldiers can do to uphold this resolution.
The Prime Minister said one-fourth of the world’s population lives in South Asia and several possibilities can be created with cooperation and participation.
He said all leaders of the countries of the region have an important responsibility towards the development and progress of this population.
PM said ASEAN countries, which are also India’s maritime neighbors, also hold very special importance.
He said that as much as India’s efforts are for peace and harmony, India is committed to its security and strengthening the army. He said India is working towards self-sufficiency in defence production. (KINS)
