New Delhi: Addressing the country on the occasion of Rashtriya Ekta Divas, which marks the 145th birth anniversary celebrations of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Saturday urged the people “not to play in into the hands” of those who questioned the sacrifice of the soldiers in Pulwama.
Referring to the comment made by Pakistan Science and Technology Minister Fawad Chaudhary in the Pakistan National Assembly, who called the Pulwama attack an “achievement of the Imran Khan government”, Modi said that the divisive forces have been exposed.
Modi also said that India’s perspective at the borders has now changed and is equipped to give a fitting reply to intruders.
Speaking after the Ekta Parade at Statue of Unity, where paramilitary forces showcased their skills on day two of his two-day visit to Kevadia in Narmada, Modi said, “While I was watching the Ekta Diwas parade by the paramilitary forces, images of the Pulwama attack crossed my mind.
The soldiers, who were slain, were also from the paramilitary forces.
The entire country had plunged into grief and mourning.
But there were some who were not part of this grief.
