Praising Border Security Force jawans’ vigilance on the international border, Modi said “Thanks to these jawans because of whom Gujarat and the nation feel secure. Our jawans are capable to answer the enemy in the language it understands. Far from their family life, their pleasure and comfort, these jawans are continuously serving Bharat Mata in adverse conditions here. Their spirit to defend the nation is commendable.”

“Pakistan has no capacity to wage direct war with India. Therefore it has taken a proxy war route. Pakistan has sparked a war with India by attacking Mumbai via sea route. It is now a time for India to answer back. We are in favor of peace but those who think our peace as our weakness should be answered in their own language. Seeing the current situation, we have to finish the enemy’s strength,” Modi said.
