In his address PM said, \u201cthe way India extended a helping hand to the world during difficult times, it has reinforced India\u2019s role in ushering in peace and development. This period also saw the world realising India\u2019s spirit of universal brotherhood\u2026at the same time it also noticed India\u2019s commitment and might when it comes to safeguarding her sovereignty and territorial integrity. Those who cast an evil eye on Indian soil in Ladakh have got a befitting response. India honours the spirit of friendship\u2026she is also capable of giving an appropriate response to any adversary, without shying away. Our brave soldiers have proven that they will not let anyone cast an evil eye on the glory and honour of Mother India.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Paying tributes to the martyrs of galwan valley, PM said, \u201cthe entire country comes together in paying tributes to the bravery of our\u00a0<em>jawans<\/em>\u00a0who attained martyrdom in Ladakh. The entire country bows to them in reverence, with gratitude. Just like their family members, every Indian painfully regrets the loss. The inner sense of pride that families feel on the supreme sacrifice of their brave sons\u2026their sentiment for the country, constitutes the true power, the might of the country. You might have seen parents of martyrs referring to sending other sons, other young family members too, to join the army. The words of the father of Shaheed Kundan Kumar of Bihar, keep echoing. He had mentioned sending even his grandsons to the army to defend the country. This spirit permeates across all martyr families. Truly, the sense of sacrifice displayed by these family members is worthy of veneration. The resolve with which our jawans made the supreme sacrifice for the security of Mother India, should be the aim of our lives\u2026.and this applies to each and every one of us. Our pursuits and endeavours should be in the same direction\u2026we should strive towards enhancing the country\u2019s capabilities and capacities in safeguarding our borders. A self-reliant India would be a tribute to our martyrs in the truest, deepest sense. Rajni ji has written to me from Assam. She says, after watching what happened in eastern Ladakh, she has taken a vow\u2026and the vow is that she will buy only \u2018local\u2019\u2026.and for the sake of \u2018local\u2019, she will also be vocal. I am receiving messages on these lines from every corner of the country. Many have expressed through their letters that they have adopted this very path. Similarly, Mohan Ramamurthy from Madurai, writes that he wishes India to be self-reliant in the defence sector.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday in his 13th Episode of \u2018Mann Ki Baat 2.0, talked about giving a befitting response to China on Ladakh.
