The country can never forget that some people were not saddened at the sacrifice of the security personnel during the Pulwama attack. At that time, these people were only doing politics…I request them not to do such politics in the interest of the nation: PM Modi.

When other countries of the world are struggling against the pandemic, India has fought it bravely and is coming out of it: PM Modi.
India, world facing challenge from those who support terrorism openly: PM Modi.
?The way the truth (about Pulwama attack in India) has been admitted in the parliament of the neighbouring country, it has exposed the real faces of those who did politics over the incident, says PM Modi in Gujarat.
“Today, Kashmir has moved on a new path of development…Whether it is the restoration of peace in the Northeast, or the steps being taken for development there, today the country is establishing new dimensions of unity,” said Prime Minister.
“A seaplane service from Sardar Sarovar to Sabarmati riverfront will be started today. This will help boost tourism in this area,” said PM Modi.
“Sardar Patel gave the present form to India by making the diversity of the country, power of free India by uniting the hundreds of princely states of the country. In 2014, we all started celebrating his birthday as a festival of the unity of India,” he added.
