Karakat, May 30 Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a gathering in Karakat, Bihar on Friday, gave a stern warning to the terrorists and said that I want to tell from the land of Bihar that the whole world has seen India’s strength against enemies through Operation Sindoor. But, the enemies should understand that this is just one arrow in our quiver. India’s fight against terrorism has neither stopped nor halted. If terror raises its head again, India will pull it out of its hole and crush it.
PM Modi said that our fight is with every enemy of the country. Whether it is across the border or within the country. In the past years, we have eliminated those who spread violence and unrest. When I came to Bihar after the Pahalgam terror attack, I had said that terrorists will be punished beyond their imagination. Today, when I have come to Bihar, I have fulfilled my promise. Those who had ruined the sindoor of our sisters while sitting in Pakistan. Our army has turned their hideouts into ruins. What is the power of India’s daughters? Pakistan has seen this, the world has also seen this. The terrorists considered themselves safe under the shelter of the Pakistani army. Our army brought them to their knees in one stroke. Pakistan’s air bases, military bases were destroyed in a few minutes. This is the new India and this is its strength.
PM Modi said that Bihar is the land of Veer Kunwar Singh. Thousands of youth from here sacrifice their youth in the army for the security of the country. Under Operation Sindoor, the world has seen the unprecedented valor and indomitable courage of our BSF. The BSF soldiers deployed in our border are an impenetrable rock of security. The protection of Mother India is paramount for our BSF soldiers. BSF Sub Inspector Imtiaz was martyred on May 10 while performing the sacred duty of serving the motherland. I pay my respectful tribute to him.
PM Modi further said that till a few years ago, Naxalism was dominant in Sasaram, Kaimur and surrounding districts of Bihar. Everyone was afraid of when and where the Naxalites would come out on the streets with their masks on their faces and guns in their hands. Government schemes used to come but they did not reach the citizens. There were no hospitals, mobile towers, schools in the Naxal-affected areas. People who built roads here were killed. These people did not believe in Babasaheb Ambedkar’s constitution. But, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar tried his best to bring development in such circumstances.
After 2014, we worked rapidly in this direction. We punished the Maoists for their deeds. We brought the youth into the mainstream of development. The country has now started getting the fruits of the 11-year pledge. The PM further said that before 2014, more than 125 districts in the country were Naxal-affected. Now only 18 districts are left Naxal-affected. The day is not far when Maoist violence will be completely eradicated. Peace, security, education will be delivered to every village without any hindrance. When the Jungle Raj government was removed from Bihar under the leadership of Nitish Kumar, Bihar also progressed. Broken roads, highways, bad railways in Bihar are now just history.
