Prime Minister Modi highlights changing times in India, emphasizing increased safety and peace under his leadership.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday (November 16, 2024) asserted that terrorists now do not feel safe in their homes unlike the rule of previous governments when terrorism made people feel unsafe.
Delivering the keynote address at a Summit in New Delhi, the Prime Minister said the times have changed.
Mr. Modi said he saw reports of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack at an exhibition at the Summit.
"There was a time when the people felt unsafe in their own houses and cities due to the terror sponsored by the neighbouring countries. However, now the times have changed and terrorists in their own houses don't feel safe," he said.
The Prime Minister said that at the exhibition he saw old news clippings about the merger of Kashmir with India and experienced the same excitement the people of the country felt in October 1947.
"At that moment I realised how indecisiveness had kept Kashmir mired in violence for seven decades," he said.
Mr. Modi noted it is heartening that these days news of record voting in the elections in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) is published in papers.
