\u201cToday the entire Nation is with you. The country\u2019s sympathies are with you. This supreme sacrifice of our Martyrs will not go in vain.

PM further said, \u201cIndia is culturally a peace-loving country. Our history has been that of a peace-loving country. The ideological mantra of India has been – \u0932\u094b\u0915\u093e\u0903 \u0938\u092e\u0938\u094d\u0924\u093e\u0903 \u0938\u0941\u0916\u093f\u0928\u094b\u0902 \u092d\u0935\u0928\u094d\u0924\u0941\u0964 In every era, we have wished for peace and welfare of the entire world and humanity. We have always worked closely with our neighbours in a cooperative and friendly manner. We have always wished for their development and welfare. Whenever there have been differences of opinion, we have always tried to ensure that those differences never turned into a dispute.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Talking about the integrity and sovereignty of the country, PM said, \u201cWe never provoke anyone, but we also do not compromise with the integrity and sovereignty of our country. Whenever it was needed, we have demonstrated our strength, proving our capabilities in protecting and defending the integrity and sovereignty of the country.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Assuring the people to keep the nation safe, PM said, \u201cSacrifice and endurance are part of our national character, but at the same time bravery and valour are also equally a part of it. I want to assure the Nation that the sacrifice made by our soldiers will not go in vain. India’s integrity and sovereignty are supreme for us, and no one can stop us from defending it. Nobody should have any iota of doubt about this. India wants peace. But on provocation, India will give a befitting reply.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe country will be proud of the fact that our soldiers have been martyred while they were fighting. I urge all of you to pay homage to these sons by observing two minutes of silence,\u201d PM concluded<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
