Promising to “establish Ram Rajya and implement Uniform Civil Code (UCC)“ if the NDA is voted to power, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on April 15 minced no words to warn neighbours bordering Jammu and Kashmir against any provocation.
Without naming either Pakistan or China, Mr. Singh said, “India already displayed its power and can strike the enemy from its own soil and also in the enemy’s territory across the Line of Control. India has emerged as the world’s strongest country on all fronts under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”
The Defence Minister referred to India’s surgical strike inside Pakistan Occupied Kashmir in September 2016. He highlighted PM Modi’s efforts during the Russia-Ukraine conflict to rescue Indians. “Indian students were caught in the conflict. Missiles were being fired from Russia as well as Ukraine. The PM spoke to the Presidents of Russia, Ukraine and America. The war was stopped for four-and-a-half hours and 22,500 of our students came to India from Ukraine,” Mr. Singh said.
