PM Modi Gujarat Visit Live: 'Pakistan turned to proxy warfare realising they couldn't win a direct war against India,' says PM Modi

'Operation Sindoor will move forward with the strength of the people,' says PM Modi

"On the night of May 6, Operation Sindoor began with the strength of our armed forces. But now, this Operation Sindoor will move forward with the strength of the people. When I speak of the strength of our armed forces and the people's strength, I mean that every citizen should become a partner in the nation's development. If we all contribute to building a Viksit Bharat by 2047 and to take our economy from the 4th to the 3rd position globally, we will not rely on foreign products. We must encourage village traders to pledge that no matter how much profit they make, they will not sell foreign goods. But unfortunately, even Ganesh idols come from abroad, small-eyed Ganesh idols whose eyes don't even open properly. For Operation Sindoor, as a citizen, I have a task for you: go home and make a list of how many foreign products you use in 24 hours," he said.

'When Gujarat turns 75, just one year later, the Olympics will be held,' says PM Modi

"When Gujarat completes 75 years in 2035, I believe we must start planning now for the next 10 years. We need to set a vision for where Gujarat should be by then in industry, agriculture, education, and sports. When Gujarat turns 75, just one year later, the Olympics will be held. The country wishes that the Olympics be hosted in India," he said.

'India has become the world’s fourth-largest economy. It is a matter of pride for all,' says PM Modi

"On May 26, 2014, I took the oath as the prime minister for the first time. At that time, India's economy was at the 11th position...Today, India has become the world’s fourth-largest economy. It is a matter of pride for all of us that we have now surpassed Japan...I still remember the excitement across the country when we moved from sixth to fifth place, especially among the youth. The reason was that India had overtaken the United Kingdom, the very nation that ruled over us for 250 years," he said.

'Pakistan turned to proxy warfare realising they couldn't win a direct war against India,' says PM Modi

"I say this can no longer be called a proxy war because the terrorists whose funerals were held after May 6 were given state honours in Pakistan. Pakistan’s flags were placed on their coffins, and their army saluted them. It proves that terrorist activities are not a proxy war but a well-planned war strategy. You are already at war, and you will receive the response accordingly. We do not seek enmity with anyone. We want to live peacefully. We also want to progress so that we can contribute to the welfare of the world," he said.

PM Modi calls Gujarat 'land of the brave'

"This is a land of the brave. Until now, what we used to call a proxy war, after the scenes witnessed post May 6, we can no longer make the mistake of calling it a proxy war. The reason that when nine terrorist hideouts were identified and destroyed within just 22 minutes, it was a decisive action. And this time, everything was done in front of the cameras, so that no one back home would ask for proof," he said.

'Chains should have been cut but the arms were chopped off,' says PM Modi on partition

"In 1947, Mother India was torn into pieces. The chains should have been cut but the arms were chopped off. The country was divided into three parts and the same night the first terrorist attack took place on the soil of Kashmir. Pakistan captured a part of Mother India with the help of terrorists, in the name of Mujahideen. If these Mujahideen had been killed on that day and Sardar Patel's advice had been accepted, then this series (of terrorist incidents) that has been going on for the last 75 years would not have been seen," he said.
