t was decided on the day of
his oath as Prime Minister
that Narendra Modi will
not only win the hearts of
every Indian but also rule
the world. With his mantra
of Neighbours
First as
Foreign Policy, he extend-
ed a friendly approach to-
wards the neighbouring
countries. The presence of
the Heads of nations from
neighbouring
countries
vindicated his open arms
policy for the world.
The people across the
globetooreciprocatedinthe
same manner to the Prime
Minister who had taken off
to win global friends. This
was visible first on June 16,
2014 when Narendra Modi
landedatParoairportinthe
neighbouring
Bhutan. He
mingled well with general
publicof Bhutanonhisway
to Thimpu.
“I saw for the first time
that Indian Prime Minis-
ter is making halts to meet
and interact with common
people on foreign soil.
Likewise, when he went to
Kathmandu
then thou-
sands of people thronged
the road to get a glimpse of
Narendra Modi, who
stopped and met people
putting security personnel
in a tizzy. I was also pre-
sent when the Prime Min-
ister went to Sri Lanka for
the first time. In 28 years
no Indian Prime Minister
had visited Sri Lanka…
that too Jaffna…wher
e
ever there is a problem, the
fearless take up the chal-
lenge…this was a unique
example of leadership,”
remembered
Syed Akba-
ruddin, a former diplomat.
In the same sequence an
unprecedente
d incident
took place on December 25,
2015. The entire world was
taken by surprise when
Modi, while on his return
journey from Russia
through Afghanistan land-
ed at Lahore airport with-
out any prior schedule. It
was an extreme risk taken
by an Indian Prime Minis-
ter to mend diplomatic re-
lations with arch-rival Pa-
kistan. From the airport,
Modi boarded a helicopter
of Pakistan army and went
straight to the residence of
then Prime Minister of Pa-
kistan Nawaz Sharif to
greet him on his birthday
.
But such pleasantries
didn’t change the stand of
Pakistan, which back-
stabbedandmasterminded
the Pulwama attacks. Modi
gave strong reply to Paki-
stan through surgical air
strikes…but these military
actions could have cost
dearly to world’s diplomat-
ic and military ecosystem.
“Pakistan always said
that if there would be any
attack on us we will retali-
ate with nuclear weapons.
We have not manufactured
nuclear weapons to keep
theminmuseums…we
will
surely use them. But Modi
put an end to Pakistan’s
nuclear blackmail at one
go. Now Pakistan leader-
ship has stopped saying
that they have nuclear
weapons,” said Ashok Saj-
janhar, a former diplomat.
Modi had taken the deci-
sion of strikes after great
understanding
.“Itwaswell
within the limits of inter-
national law. Neither Secu-
rity council nor the United
Nations raised voice
against the strikes…It was
a successful diplomatic re-
sponse,“Akbaruddincited.
The way Prime Minister
Modi showed a blow hot
and blow cold diplomacy to
Pakistan, relations with
China turned out to be a
mixed bag. Modi hosted
Chinese President XI Jin-
ping at his home state Gu-
jarat in order to bring reso-
lution to the long-standing
border dispute. But China
didn’t reciprocate
the
warm behaviour and tried
out the patience of India
on the border areas of
Doklam and Ladakh. The
Sino army escalated ten-
sion on border and tried to
capture areas over the In-
dian side. But Indian army
failed all its efforts under
the dynamic leadership of
Narendra Modi.
Modi has been handling
the diplomatic relations
withsuperpowersUSAand
Russia with the same dex-
terity which he had shown
while tackling challenges
with neighbouring
coun-
tries. While he cemented
the old ties with Russia, he
wrote a new chapter of
friendship with US.
Modi went for the first
timetoUSonanofficialtrip
inSeptember2014.USPres-
identBarackObamahosted
agrandreceptionforhimat
the historical White House.
It is a case study for foreign
policy experts and strate-
gists as to how Modi man-
ages to maintain a delicate
balance between two oppo-
site camps - US and Russia
simultaneousl
y
.
“First of all, he doesn’t
have double standards. He
speaks the same at all the
places. So, it’s easy to man-
age any contradiction.
Whatever he talks, he
speaks in national interest
andpeopleunderstandhim.
Hebelievesinstraighttalk,”
said S Jaishankar, minister
of external affairs.
Modi has also been suc-
cessful in protecting In-
dia’s interest with western
countries. He explores new
friendship opportunities
with Israel and takes rela-
tionship with Arab coun-
tries to a new height in the
same breath. Critics of
Modi are astonished with
the fact the Modi has re-
ceived the highest civilian
awards of several Muslim
countries. Apart from that,
he has been successful in
strengthening
the strategic
business ties with them,
“Entering into a strategic
partnership with a country
where no Prime Minister
has visited in the last 30-40
years is a grand achieve-
ment. There have not only
been talks of security, en-
ergy and investment with
that country but also re-
sults have been shown on
ground. Then, giving away
such awards is just an ex-
tension to the impression
which you have created on
these countries,” said S
Jaishankar.
Modi has not only been
successful in getting into
bipartite partnership with
countries for strong mili-
tary and business ties but
has also taken lead in rais-
ing important issues like
climate change, interna-
tional global alliance and
reducingcarbonfootprints
at international
forums.
Modi has led from the
front at several platforms
towards global resolution
of these issues. This is the
dawn of new India, which
is on its path of progress
and prosperity unchal-
lenged.
To be continued...
PAKISTAN ALWAYS SAID
THAT IF THERE WOULD
BE ANY ATTACK ON US WE
WILL RETALIATE WITH
NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
WE HAVE NOT
MANUFACTURE
D
NUCLEAR WEAPONS TO
KEEP THEM IN
MUSEUMS…WE
WILL
SURELY USE THEM.
BUT MODI PUT AN END TO
PAKISTAN’S NUCLEAR
BLACKMAIL AT ONE GO.
NOW PAKISTAN
LEADERSHIP HAS
STOPPED SAYING THAT
THEY HAVE NUCLEAR
WEAPONS.

oon after Narendra
Modi
took over the reins of the
country,
he went heavily
after corruption.
Right
from tightening
the noose
on shell companies
to ini-
tiating legal action against
bank loan defaulters,
Modi
lived up to and still does,
of his image of “Na Khata
Hun Na Khane Doonga”.
Narendra
Modi always
knew the power of new
technology
and its inter-
vention towards bringing
transparency
in govern-
ance. He introduced
tech-
nology and IT-led innova-
tions and initiatives
to
make the governance
effec-
tive and at the same time
ease the lives of people. He
launched
DigitalIndiaMis-
sion and the rest is history
.
“Corruption-free
gov-
ernance,
transparency,
public partnership
and
reaching
out to people
standing
last in the line…
Modi government
has ful-
filled all four-five
basic
rules of governance…This
also shows Modi ji’s lean-
ing towards new technol-
ogy and scientific
temper-
ament. Every reform and
improvement
show opti-
mum use of technology,”
union cabinet minister Dr
Jitendra Singh was quoted
as saying.
The Digital India Mis-
sion, which was launched
onJuly1,2015,expanded
its
wings and utility with the
introduction
of Apps and
digital
platforms
like
Umang, DG Locker, Bhim,
Rupay and UPI. The coun-
try
, which used to rely com-
pletely on physical transac-
tions was ready to embrace
thetechnology-driven
cash-
less transaction
system.
The aim was to put a curb
onblackmoneyandenforce
transparency
inthesystem,
which Modi had already
initiatedthroughdemoneti-
sation. He gave a new di-
mension
to the Aadhar
Card scheme launched
by
the predecessor
UPA gov-
ernment
and linked every
government-run
schemes
with Aadhar for transfer-
ring benefits directly to the
beneficiaries
eliminating
any intermediary
.
“Earlier people couldn’t
open bank accounts due to
lack of KYC documents.
Aadharprovidedidentityto
such people and they start-
ed getting cash benefits and
other subsidies
directly in
their bank accounts.
Leak-
age was plugged,”
said RS
Sharma,
CEO of Aayush-
man Bharat Scheme.
The PM Modi also fo-
cused on education,
health
and employment
to serve
theinterestsof poorpeople.
He started new IIMs, IITs
and launched
AIIMS in
various parts of the coun-
try
. He also launched
Skill
India Mission to hone the
skills of youth and make
them employment
ready
.
On November
7, 2015, Modi
fulfilled one of his impor-
tant poll promises…
he re-
alised the dreams of thou-
sands of ex-servicemen
by
launching
One rank One
pension … a long pending
demand
which had not
beenfulfilledsince40years.
It was a tribute to the
Armedforcesfromaperson
who used to dream to join
the Army for serving the
country
. Apart from that,
Modi also resolved
prob-
lems of Armed forces
whichhadbeenhangingon
fire for long. Right from the
slowpaceof modernisation
to shortage of modern sub-
marinesandfighterplanes,
the country
was facing
acute shortage of weapons.
“He gave us more than
whatever
we had demand-
ed. Now you see we are the
bestcentre in the world …
centre of excellence…
which are manufactur-
ing everything
includ-
ing weapons,”
said
Harivansh
Narayan
Singh, deputy chair-
man of RS. While
resolving
problems
and difficulties
of
Armed
forces,
Modi celebrated
thefestivalof Di-
wali with sol-
diers at the fron-
tiers … some-
times in Pun-
jab, some-
times
in
Kashmir
or
R a j a s t h a n
and some-
times
in
Ladakh.
The
solider in Modi saluted the
high spirit of Indian Army
deployed
in difficult
ter-
rainstoprotectthecountry
.
On September
18, 2016,
in the wee hours of the
morning at 5.30 am, an un-
fortunate
incident
hap-
pened at Uri when Paki-
stan-sponsored
terrorists
carried an ambush against
Indian soldiers, who were
caught sleeping
in their
camps.Inthatoperation,
18
Indian soldiers laid down
their lives before killing
the terrorists.
That en-
raged the entire nation and
people called for revenge.
Moved by the public senti-
mentsPMModiannounced
- “Let the terrorists
hear it
out… the country is not go-
ing to forget this ghastly
act.” And within 15 days on
September
29, 2016 the In-
dian army avenged the Uri
attack.
“The Indian Army con-
ducted surgical strike last
night at the launch pads, “
Lt General Ranveer Singh,
DGMO, IA declared.
In that operation,
the
army conducted
sur-
gical strikes in the
P a k - o c c u p i e d
Kashmir
and de-
stroyed
terror
launch pads kill-
ing a large num-
ber of terrorists.
That was a big
demonstration
of PM Modi’s
courage
and
risk-taking
abil-
ity. His deci-
sion
was
hailed by eve-
ryone in the
country
as
Modi defied
the nuclear
threat posed
by Pakistan.
The confi-
dent Modi
then conquered
another
front. This time he an-
nounced to roll out GST in
the country, marking
the
entry of long awaited One
Nation One Tax system.
This was the biggest re-
form in the field of taxa-
tion in Independent
India.
And Modi made it histori-
cal by announcing
it at the
stroke of 12 midnight
in
the intervening
night of
June 30 and July 1, 2017
from the central hall of the
parliament.
Modi never held him-
self back from rolling out
big decisions
and mega
reforms.
He didn’t shy
away from getting the law
of Triple Talaq passed in
the parliament
on Septem-
ber 19, 2018 which brought
great relief in the lives of
Muslim women.
Modi didn’t stop there.
He went on to launch sev-
eral
public-friendly
schemes and programmes
including
Namami Gange,
Jan Aushadhi
Yojana,
Mudra Yojana, Start-up In-
dia and Make in India
among others. Apart from
that healsofocusedspecial-
ly on the development
of
northeastern
states. Under
Look East policy
, he set up a
separate ministry
DoNER
to develop infrastructure
and establish
connectivity
of northeastern
states with
rest of the country
.
The country was on its
way to economic
develop-
ment. Just then Pakistan
came into picture once
again. This time Pakistan
backed militants
of JeM
conducted
a ‘Fidayin’
at-
tack on the convoy of
CRPF killing 18 jawans in
Pulwama
on February
14,
2019. After Uri, this was
the second occasion
when
the entire country
was
boiling with anger. And
Modi was no exception.
On February
26, 2019,
Indian Air force launched
airstrikes
in Pakistan’s
Balakot
region and de-
stroyed launch pads of ter-
rorists. A large number of
militants
were killed and
spirit of terrorists
damp-
ened completely
after the
bold move of Modi.
2019 was the election
year and Modi was target-
ing a second term with
more than 300 seats. ‘Abki
baar 300 paar’ was the slo-
gan of BJP when it went
for polls in the biggest fes-
tival of democracy.
On
May 23, 2019 when the
counting
of votes ended,
BJP emerged
a clear win-
ner with 303 seats while
the tally for its coalition
NDA went up to 353 seats.
Thedecisivemajorityem-
powered Modi even more,
who looked determined
to
roll out bigger reforms and
take big decisions
in public
interest at large.
On August 5, 2019, the
Parliament
of India voted
in favour of a resolution
tabled by Home Minister
Amit Shah to revoke the
temporary
special status,
or autonomy,
granted un-
der Article 370 of the In-
dian Constitution
to Jam-
mu and Kashmir - an agen-
da which was there in BJP
manifesto
for long. With
this Modi also fulfilled his
17-year old promise which
he had made to people of
J&KduringhisEktaYatra.
Just after 3 months on
November
2019 five-judge
bench of Supreme
Court
in its ruling ordered con-
struction
of Ram Mandir
on the disputed
land in
Ayodhya.
The path for con-
struction
of Mandir was
clear now. On August 5,
2020, Narendra
Modi went
to Ayodhya for bhoomi pu-
jan of Ram Mandir. Modi
sent out a message
and
clear to everyone
- Modi
hai to Mumkin hai.

CBI names 22 in Bengal’s
Birbhum massacre case
Kolkata (Agencies):
The Central Bureau of
Investigation has
named 22 people as ac-
cused in the Birbhum
massacre, in which
eight people were beat-
en and burnt alive ear-
lier this week, trigger-
ing political furore. The
list of accused is the
same as that of the state
police, sources said. The
agency, however, has
questioned the ruling
Trinamool Congress’s
block president Anarul
Hossain, who, Chief
Minister Mamata Ba-
nerjee had promised,
will be arrested.
Around 20 people
have been arrested after
six women and two chil-
dren -- mostly of mem-
bers of a single family
-- were locked in their
homes and burnt alive
by a mob at the Bogtui
village near Birbhum’s
Rampurhat town earli-
er this week.
The attack was retali-
ation to the murder of a
localTMCleader,Bhadu
Sheikh, who died in
bomb attack.
It was a heartbreaking loss for
the Indian Women’s Cricket
team as penultimate no ball in
last over of the match against
South Africa by Deepti Sharma
turned the game on its head as
instead of being a wicket, it was
a free hit. Had it not been a no-
ball, South Africa would have
needed three of the last ball with
eight wickets down. With two
needed to two, Mignon du Preez
took her team home on the last
ball, thus, throwing India out of
the ICC Women’s Cricket World
Cup 2022 in Christchurch.
Chittoor: At least seven
people were killed in a
bus accident on Satur-
day night in Andhra
Pradesh’s Chittoor.
As many as 45 people
have also sustained in-
juries in the accident.
According to the
Tirupati Superinten-
dent of Police (SP), the
driver’s negligence is
believed to be the cause
of the accident.
“The accident hap-
pened as the bus fell off
the cliff due to driver’s
negligence in Bakrape-
ta, 25 kms away from
Tirupati,” he said.
Trinamool’s
local leader
questioned
CM Mamata: Will protest if
CBI follows BJP’s diktats
Kolkata: West Ben-
gal Chief Minister
Mamata Banerjee on
Sunday said there
was a “conspiracy”
behind the killing of
eight people, includ-
ing women and chil-
dren, following a local
TMC leader’s murder
in Birbhum. She also
said that the Trina-
mool Congress will
protest if the
CBI “follows
the diktats
of the BJP”
while con-
ducting the
probe.
Address-
ing an event at
Bagdogra in
n o r t h
Bengal,Banerjeesaid,
“I still think there is a
conspiracy behind the
Rampurhat incident.
It was a good decision
to hand over the probe
to the CBI. But if they
only follow BJP’s dik-
tats, we will be ready
to protest.”
Sheadded,“Wehave
seen in past instances,
including the probe
into the theft of
Tagore’s Nobel
Prize, the Ne-
tai incident
and the Ta-
pasi Malik
case, that the
CBI failed to
provide jus-
tice.”
Ukrainian rebel region Luhansk
may vote to join Russia: Leader
Kyiv: The Russian-
backed eastern Ukrain-
ian rebel region of Lu-
hansk’s leader Leonid
Pasechnik said it may
hold a referendum on
joining Russia, draw-
ing a warning from
Kyiv that any such vote
would have no legal ba-
sis and trigger a strong-
er international re-
sponse.
Three days before or-
dering the February 24
invasion of Ukraine,
President Vladimir Pu-
tin recognised the
Ukrainian rebel regions
of Luhansk and
Donetsk as independent
states, though the rest

PERSPECTIVE
04
t was decided on the day of
his oath as Prime Minister
that Narendra Modi will
not only win the hearts of
every Indian but also rule
the world. With his mantra
of Neighbours First as
Foreign Policy, he extend-
ed a friendly approach to-
wards the neighbouring
countries. The presence of
the Heads of nations from
neighbouring countries
vindicated his open arms
policy for the world.
The people across the
globetooreciprocatedinthe
same manner to the Prime
Minister who had taken off
to win global friends. This
was visible first on June 16,
2014 when Narendra Modi
landedatParoairportinthe
neighbouring Bhutan. He
mingled well with general
publicof Bhutanonhisway
to Thimpu.
“I saw for the first time
that Indian Prime Minis-
ter is making halts to meet
and interact with common
people on foreign soil.
Likewise, when he went to
Kathmandu then thou-
sands of people thronged
the road to get a glimpse of
Narendra Modi, who
stopped and met people
putting security personnel
in a tizzy. I was also pre-
sent when the Prime Min-
ister went to Sri Lanka for
the first time. In 28 years
no Indian Prime Minister
had visited Sri Lanka…
that too Jaffna…where
ever there is a problem, the
fearless take up the chal-
lenge…this was a unique
example of leadership,”
remembered Syed Akba-
ruddin, a former diplomat.
In the same sequence an
unprecedented incident
took place on December 25,
2015. The entire world was
taken by surprise when
Modi, while on his return
journey from Russia
through Afghanistan land-
ed at Lahore airport with-
out any prior schedule. It
was an extreme risk taken
by an Indian Prime Minis-
ter to mend diplomatic re-
lations with arch-rival Pa-
kistan. From the airport,
Modi boarded a helicopter
of Pakistan army and went
straight to the residence of
then Prime Minister of Pa-
kistan Nawaz Sharif to
greet him on his birthday
.
But such pleasantries
didn’t change the stand of
Pakistan, which back-
stabbedandmasterminded
the Pulwama attacks. Modi
gave strong reply to Paki-
stan through surgical air
strikes…but these military
actions could have cost
dearly to world’s diplomat-
ic and military ecosystem.
“Pakistan always said
that if there would be any
attack on us we will retali-
ate with nuclear weapons.
We have not manufactured
nuclear weapons to keep
theminmuseums…wewill
surely use them. But Modi
put an end to Pakistan’s
nuclear blackmail at one
go. Now Pakistan leader-
ship has stopped saying
that they have nuclear
weapons,” said Ashok Saj-
janhar, a former diplomat.
Modi had taken the deci-
sion of strikes after great
understanding.“Itwaswell
within the limits of inter-
national law. Neither Secu-
rity council nor the United
Nations raised voice
against the strikes…It was
a successful diplomatic re-
sponse,“Akbaruddincited.
The way Prime Minister
Modi showed a blow hot
and blow cold diplomacy to
Pakistan, relations with
China turned out to be a
mixed bag. Modi hosted
Chinese President XI Jin-
ping at his home state Gu-
jarat in order to bring reso-
lution to the long-standing
border dispute. But China
didn’t reciprocate the
warm behaviour and tried
out the patience of India
on the border areas of
Doklam and Ladakh. The
Sino army escalated ten-
sion on border and tried to
capture areas over the In-
dian side. But Indian army
failed all its efforts under
the dynamic leadership of
Narendra Modi.
Modi has been handling
the diplomatic relations
withsuperpowersUSAand
Russia with the same dex-
terity which he had shown
while tackling challenges
with neighbouring coun-
tries. While he cemented
the old ties with Russia, he
wrote a new chapter of
friendship with US.
Modi went for the first
timetoUSonanofficialtrip
inSeptember2014.USPres-
identBarackObamahosted
agrandreceptionforhimat
the historical White House.
It is a case study for foreign
policy experts and strate-
gists as to how Modi man-
ages to maintain a delicate
balance between two oppo-
site camps - US and Russia
simultaneously
.
“First of all, he doesn’t
have double standards. He
speaks the same at all the
places. So, it’s easy to man-
age any contradiction.
Whatever he talks, he
speaks in national interest
andpeopleunderstandhim.
Hebelievesinstraighttalk,”
said S Jaishankar, minister
of external affairs.
Modi has also been suc-
cessful in protecting In-
dia’s interest with western
countries. He explores new
friendship opportunities
with Israel and takes rela-
tionship with Arab coun-
tries to a new height in the
same breath. Critics of
Modi are astonished with
the fact the Modi has re-
ceived the highest civilian
awards of several Muslim
countries. Apart from that,
he has been successful in
strengthening the strategic
business ties with them,
“Entering into a strategic
partnership with a country
where no Prime Minister
has visited in the last 30-40
years is a grand achieve-
ment. There have not only
been talks of security, en-
ergy and investment with
that country but also re-
sults have been shown on
ground. Then, giving away
such awards is just an ex-
tension to the impression
which you have created on
these countries,” said S
Jaishankar.
Modi has not only been
successful in getting into
bipartite partnership with
countries for strong mili-
tary and business ties but
has also taken lead in rais-
ing important issues like
climate change, interna-
tional global alliance and
reducingcarbonfootprints
at international forums.
Modi has led from the
front at several platforms
towards global resolution
of these issues. This is the
dawn of new India, which
is on its path of progress
and prosperity unchal-
lenged.

Editor, First India
oon after Narendra Modi
took over the reins of the
country, he went heavily
after corruption. Right
from tightening the noose
on shell companies to ini-
tiating legal action against
bank loan defaulters, Modi
lived up to and still does,
of his image of “Na Khata
Hun Na Khane Doonga”.
Narendra Modi always
knew the power of new
technology and its inter-
vention towards bringing
transparency in govern-
ance. He introduced tech-
nology and IT-led innova-
tions and initiatives to
make the governance effec-
tive and at the same time
ease the lives of people. He
launchedDigitalIndiaMis-
sion and the rest is history
.
“Corruption-free gov-
ernance, transparency,
public partnership and
reaching out to people
standing last in the line…
Modi government has ful-
filled all four-five basic
also shows Modi ji’s lean-
ing towards new technol-
ogy and scientific temper-
ament. Every reform and
improvement show opti-
mum use of technology,”
union cabinet minister Dr
Jitendra Singh was quoted
as saying.
The Digital India Mis-
sion, which was launched
onJuly1,2015,expandedits
wings and utility with the
introduction of Apps and
digital platforms like
Umang, DG Locker, Bhim,
Rupay and UPI. The coun-
try
, which used to rely com-
pletely on physical transac-
tions was ready to embrace
thetechnology-drivencash-
less transaction system.
The aim was to put a curb
onblackmoneyandenforce
transparencyinthesystem,
which Modi had already
initiatedthroughdemoneti-
sation. He gave a new di-
mension to the Aadhar
Card scheme launched by
the predecessor UPA gov-
ernment and linked every
government-run schemes
with Aadhar for transfer-
ring benefits directly to the
beneficiaries eliminating
any intermediary
.
“Earlier people couldn’t
open bank accounts due to
lack of KYC documents.
Aadharprovidedidentityto
such people and they start-
ed getting cash benefits and
other subsidies directly in
their bank accounts. Leak-
age was plugged,” said RS
Sharma, CEO of Aayush-
man Bharat Scheme.
The PM Modi also fo-
cused on education, health
and employment to serve
theinterestsof poorpeople.
He started new IIMs, IITs
and launched AIIMS in
various parts of the coun-
try
. He also launched Skill
India Mission to hone the
skills of youth and make
them employment ready
.
On November 7, 2015, Modi
fulfilled one of his impor-
tant poll promises… he re-
alised the dreams of thou-
sands of ex-servicemen by
launching One rank One
pension … a long pending
demand which had not
beenfulfilledsince40years.
It was a tribute to the
Armedforcesfromaperson
who used to dream to join
the Army for serving the
country
. Apart from that,
Modi also resolved prob-
lems of Armed forces
whichhadbeenhangingon
fire for long. Right from the
slowpaceof modernisation
to shortage of modern sub-
marinesandfighterplanes,
the country was facing
acute shortage of weapons.
“He gave us more than
whatever we had demand-
ed. Now you see we are the
best centre in the world …
centre of excellence…
which are manufactur-
ing everything includ-
ing weapons,” said
Harivansh Narayan
Singh, deputy chair-
man of RS. While
resolving problems
and difficulties of
Armed forces,
Modi celebrated
thefestivalof Di-
wali with sol-
diers at the fron-
tiers … some-
times in Pun-
jab, some-
times in
Kashmir or
R a j a s t h a n
and some-
times in
Ladakh. The
solider in Modi saluted the
high spirit of Indian Army
deployed in difficult ter-
rainstoprotectthecountry
.
On September 18, 2016,
in the wee hours of the
morning at 5.30 am, an un-
fortunate incident hap-
pened at Uri when Paki-
stan-sponsored terrorists
carried an ambush against
Indian soldiers, who were
caught sleeping in their
camps.Inthatoperation,18
Indian soldiers laid down
their lives before killing
the terrorists. That en-
raged the entire nation and
people called for revenge.
Moved by the public senti-
mentsPMModiannounced
- “Let the terrorists hear it
out… the country is not go-
ing to forget this ghastly
act.” And within 15 days on
September 29, 2016 the In-
dian army avenged the Uri
attack.
“The Indian Army con-
ducted surgical strike last
night at the launch pads, “
Lt General Ranveer Singh,
DGMO, IA declared.
In that operation, the
army conducted sur-
gical strikes in the
P a k - o c c u p i e d
Kashmir and de-
stroyed terror
launch pads kill-
ing a large num-
ber of terrorists.
That was a big
demonstration
of PM Modi’s
courage and
risk-taking abil-
ity. His deci-
sion was
hailed by eve-
ryone in the
country as
Modi defied
the nuclear
threat posed
by Pakistan.
The confi-
dent Modi
then conquered another
front. This time he an-
nounced to roll out GST in
the country, marking the
entry of long awaited One
Nation One Tax system.
This was the biggest re-
form in the field of taxa-
tion in Independent India.
And Modi made it histori-
cal by announcing it at the
stroke of 12 midnight in
the intervening night of
June 30 and July 1, 2017
from the central hall of the
parliament.
Modi never held him-
self back from rolling out
big decisions and mega
reforms. He didn’t shy
away from getting the law
of Triple Talaq passed in
the parliament on Septem-
ber 19, 2018 which brought
great relief in the lives of
Muslim women.
Modi didn’t stop there.
He went on to launch sev-
eral public-friendly
schemes and programmes
including Namami Gange,
Jan Aushadhi Yojana,
Mudra Yojana, Start-up In-
dia and Make in India
among others. Apart from
that healso focusedspecial-
ly on the development of
northeastern states. Under
Look East policy
, he set up a
separate ministry DoNER
to develop infrastructure
and establish connectivity
of northeastern states with
rest of the country
.
The country was on its
way to economic develop-
ment. Just then Pakistan
came into picture once
again. This time Pakistan
backed militants of JeM
conducted a ‘Fidayin’ at-
tack on the convoy of
CRPF killing 18 jawans in
Pulwama on February 14,
2019. After Uri, this was
the second occasion when
the entire country was
boiling with anger. And
Modi was no exception.
On February 26, 2019,
Indian Air force launched
airstrikes in Pakistan’s
Balakot region and de-
stroyed launch pads of ter-
rorists. A large number of
militants were killed and
spirit of terrorists damp-
ened completely after the
bold move of Modi.
2019 was the election
year and Modi was target-
ing a second term with
more than 300 seats. ‘Abki
baar 300 paar’ was the slo-
gan of BJP when it went
for polls in the biggest fes-
tival of democracy. On
May 23, 2019 when the
counting of votes ended,
BJP emerged a clear win-
ner with 303 seats while
the tally for its coalition
NDA went up to 353 seats.
Thedecisivemajorityem-
powered Modi even more,
who looked determined to
roll out bigger reforms and
take big decisions in public
interest at large.
On August 5, 2019, the
Parliament of India voted
in favour of a resolution
tabled by Home Minister
Amit Shah to revoke the
temporary special status,
or autonomy, granted un-
der Article 370 of the In-
dian Constitution to Jam-
mu and Kashmir - an agen-
da which was there in BJP
manifesto for long. With
this Modi also fulfilled his
17-year old promise which
he had made to people of
JKduringhisEktaYatra.
Just after 3 months on
November 2019 five-judge
bench of Supreme Court
in its ruling ordered con-
struction of Ram Mandir
on the disputed land in
Ayodhya. The path for con-
struction of Mandir was
clear now. On August 5,
2020, Narendra Modi went
to Ayodhya for bhoomi pu-
jan of Ram Mandir. Modi
sent out a message and
clear to everyone - Modi
hai to Mumkin hai.
To be continued...
Corruption-free governance,
transparency, public
partnership and reaching out
to people standing last in the
line… Modi government has
fulfilled all four-five basic
rules of governance…This also
shows Modi ji’s leaning

scientific temperament. Every

New Delhi (PTI): A Delhi court has acquitted a man
accused of being a member of alleged terror organisa-
tion Babbar Khalsa International in relation to the 2005
Satyam Cinema and Liberty Cin-
ema bomb blasts, saying police
miserably failed to prove the case
beyond a shadow of doubt.
Additional Sessions Judge
Dharmender said that though the
prosecution had ascribed meaning to general words like
‘plot’, ‘khet’, ‘fasal’, ‘paani’, etc, in his telephonic con-
versation, “the possibility of any police officer misinter-
preting plain and simple words on account of suspicion
and overzealous approach cannot be ruled out”.
New Delhi: The National Testing Agency, NTA, has
released the official notification regarding the Central
Universities Entrance Test or CUET 2022 on its

onwards. Once the registration
link is active, candidates can
register for CUET UG 2022
on the official website — cuet.samarth.ac.in for easy
access. Applications can be filled between April 2 and
April 30, 2022. “Online application forms for under-
graduate programmes will open from April 2, 2022.

PM Modi calls for adopting of water
conservation efforts in ‘Mann Ki Baat’
New Delhi (PTI):
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi on Sunday
urged the listeners of
his monthly radio pro-
gramme ‘Mann ki Baat’
to save every drop of
water and also recycle
and reuse water when-
ever possible.
Addressing the 87th
episode of ‘Mann ki
Baat’, PM Modi said, “I
would request the lis-
teners of ‘Mann Ki
Baat’ to reiterate our
resolves that we should
save every drop of wa-
ter. Also, we must give
equal emphasis on recy-
cling water. The water
used at home can be
used in pots, can be
used in gardening, and
must be reused. With a
little effort, you can
make such arrange-
ments in your homes.”
He also urged the
children to be at the
forefront of water con-
servation efforts.
“In this task of sav-
ing water, I have high
hopes from children.
