PM Modi vowed that “new India fears no nuclear threats, it strikes terrorists in their homes.”
“The nation gives utmost priority to the security of Mother India. Pakistani terrorists removed the Sindoor of our sisters and daughters. We did Operation Sindoor and destroyed terror camps. Our brave armed forces brought Pakistan to its knees within the blink of an eye. Just yesterday, the nation and the world witnessed another Pakistani terrorist tearfully narrate his ordeal. This is a new India. It fears no one’s nuclear threats,” he said.
September 17 holds historic significance, he said, referring to 17th September 1948, the day on which the Indian Army launched Operation Polo and brought Hyderabad State under the Indian Union.
On this day, Sardar Patel’s unwavering determination was witnessed as the Indian Army liberated Hyderabad and safeguarded its rightful place in the nation, he said. ”For decades, this milestone went unrecognised, but our government ensured its legacy endures by officially commemorating it as Hyderabad Liberation Day,” he stated.
Announcing the launch of the ‘Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar’ campaign he said, ”We must make a firm resolve. Friends, the health of mothers, sisters and daughters is our priority. Our government is working in mission mode for the nutrition of pregnant women and daughters. From today, we begin the 8th National Nutrition Month”.
In a developed Bharat, he said, ”We must reduce maternal mortality and infant mortality. With this goal in mind, we launched the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana in 2017.” He apprised that under this scheme, Rs 5,000 is directly transferred to the bank account for the first childbirth, and Rs 6,000 for the birth of a second daughter. He further said so far, more than 4.5 crore pregnant mothers have benefitted from this initiative.
Wishes poured in from across the globe on Prime Minister Modi’s 75th birthday, with world leaders including US President Donald Trump, Former UK PM Rishi Sunak, Italian PM Giorgia Meloni, and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu extending greetings.
PM Modi’s birthday drew greetings from leaders across party lines. While some hailed his “extraordinary leadership,” others extended wishes for his good health and long life. Meanwhile, BJP-led state governments are marking the day with a series of events and welfare schemes.
