Jammu, Sep 28 (KINS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a rally in Jammu and recalled the time when India had launched a surgical strike in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, inflicting heavy casualties on terrorists and “those protecting them”. PM Modi today said that the action gave out a message about “new India.”
The surgical strikes were carried out nearly 10 days after the Uri terror attack where 18 soldiers were killed when four terrorists launched a barrage of grenades at the Army’s 12 Brigade headquarters in Uri, Jammu and Kashmir.
Recalling the night of October 28-29 when Special Forces of the Indian Army carried out the surgical strikes, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the masters of terror know that if they dare to do anything, “Modi will find them even in hell.”
“…Remember that time when bullets were fired from that side and the Congress used to wave white flags. When the BJP government responded to the bullets with shells, the people on that side came to their senses. Today is 28th September. In the year 2016, on the night of 28th September, a surgical strike was carried out. India had told the world, ‘Yeh naya Bharat hai, yeh ghar mein ghuskar maarta hain…Aatank ke aakao ko pata hai agar kuch bhi himaakat ki toh Modi paataal mein bhi unhe khoj nikalega’…”
PM Modi said, “The Congress party has consistently questioned the credibility of our military’s surgical strikes. Can we forgive such betrayal? Never!”
PM Modi said that this election is to choose the future of Jammu and Kashmir. Today is also the birth anniversary of martyr Veer Sardar Bhagat Singh. I pay my respectful tribute to Bhagat Singh ji, the inspiration of crores of youth of the country.
PM Modi said that this meeting in Jammu is my last meeting of this assembly election. I have had the opportunity to visit different parts of Jammu and Kashmir in the past weeks. Wherever I went, there is unprecedented enthusiasm for the BJP. He further said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir do not want terrorism, separatism and violence. The people here want peace and prosperity. The people here want a bright future for their children. To ensure this, the people here want a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government.
He said during the past few weeks, he travelled to different parts of the J&K to address the election rallies. “Wherever, I went, I saw great enthusiasm among people towards the BJP. J&K people are tired of Congress, PDP and NC,” Modi said.
He said people don’t want old bad days to return where corruption was at its peak, backdoor appointments were being made. “People of J&K don’t want terrorism, separatism and bloodbath to return,” Modi said.
The Prime Minister said that now people of J&K want peace. “They want a better future through the governance of BJP,” he said. In the last two phases, people’s mood suggests that they have voted in favour of BJP.”
Modi said that in J&K, there will be a full majority government of BJP for the first time,” he said. “This will be a historic verdict. This election will give a historic verdict.”
He said for the first time, Jammu people would have the government of their choice. “This is a city of temples; you should not lose this last opportunity. BJP government will take away your worries,” he said.
PM Modi said that Jammu was subjected to disparity and injustice that can only be removed by PM Modi.
Lashing out at the Congress party, Modi said that Jammu’s major part was cut only because of this party’s blunders. “There was a time when bullets and shells were routine here. We responded to the bullet with artillery shells and that sent a message across,” he said.
Taking a jibe at Congress, Modi said this party disrespected fallen soldiers and never allowed one rank, one pension. “Soon after taking the reins of the country, I announced one rank, one pension for the soldiers and their families,” he said, adding that recently this scheme was also enhanced to provide more facilities to the families of soldiers.
He said today’s Congress is under the control of Urban Naxals. “When foreign intruders come to India, Congress feels good. They see vote banks in them but they were least bothered about our own people,” he said. “Congress, PDP and NC are the biggest enemies of the Indian constitution. They are the ones who didn’t allow implementation of B R Ambedkar’s constitution.”
He said wounds inflicted by the Congress, National Conference and PDP will only be healed by the BJP. “We have announced the Tika Lal Taplu scheme for the rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandits which will be implemented soon after government formation in J&K,” he said.
