Every Indian is proud of Abhinandan: PM Modi

Kanyakumari (TN): Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday hailed Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman saying every Indian was proud of him and lashed out at political rivals for suspecting the armed forces which, he said, helped Pakistan.

Modi also hit out at the previous Congress-led UPA government for allegedly “blocking,” surgical strikes post 26/11 Mumbai attacks in 2008.

After inaugurating several government projects here, Modi said “I am proud that India’s first woman Defence Minister Nirmalaji is from Tamil Nadu. Every Indian is proud that the brave wing commanderAbhinandan belongs to Tamil Nadu.” 

The events of the past two days, an apparent reference to IAF’s air strikes and the IAF shooting down a Pakistan jet, have demonstrated yet again the strengths of the country’s armed forces, Modi said.

“It has also brought our nation closer,” the prime minister said, an obvious pointer to the outpouring of support to Abhinandan and India’s armed forces from the people.

However, he said, it was sad that a few political parties “suspect our fight against terror.” When the entire nation supports the country’s armed forces, they “suspect the armed forces,” he said.

“These are the same people whose statements are helping Pakistan and harming India. They are the same people whose statements are happily quoted in the Parliament of Pakistan and in the radio of Pakistan,” Modi said.

“I want to tell them- Modi will come and go, India will remain. Please stop weakening India to strengthen your own politics,” Modi said. “We are Indians first and your politics can wait…it is the safety of our nation that is at stake,” he added.

He asserted that the entire world was supporting India in its fight against terror.
