HM Shah credits PM Modi’s stand for answering terror attack by entering Pak territory
Mumbai: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for taking a decisive stand and endorsing Operation Sindoor to answer a terrorist attack by entering Pakistan’s territory.
Speaking at the 52nd India Gems and Jewellery Awards ceremony in Mumbai, HM Shah said, “Who could have imagined that a terrorist attack would be answered by entering Pakistan’s territory, and that the country would have a Prime Minister capable of taking such a decisive stand?”
He said that whether it was the surgical strike, the air strike or Operation Sindoor, PM Modi has pursued a defence policy that makes the enemy think twice and tremble at the very thought of attacking India.
The Home Minister said that whether it is the construction of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple, the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor, the rejuvenation of Kedarnath or Mahakal Lok, India has accomplished what, for decades, people did not even have the courage to speak about.
Highlighting the transformational economic changes brought about in the country by PM Modi over the past 12 years, HM Shah said that today India is among the top five economies of the world.
The Home Minister said that PM Modi has given 140 crore people of the country the confidence and resolve that by August 15, 2047, India will emerge as the number one nation in the world across every sector.
He said the changes brought about by PM Modi in the field of infrastructure have given a major boost to the economy.
The Home Minister said that driven by PLI schemes and facilities aimed at promoting exports, India’s exports are continuing to surpass their own records.
He said that the GDP figures for the first quarter of the current financial year were released recently, and with a growth rate of 7.8 per cent, India has emerged as one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world.
He said that this transformation has not been limited to economic activity alone; Prime Minister Modi has worked to bring about change across every sector.
Those present on the occasion included Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi and several other dignitaries.
Addressing the awards ceremony, the Home Minister said that it is a matter of great happiness for him that the Gems and Jewellery Awards, which have continuously contributed to enhancing India’s economy, prosperity and global brilliance, are being conferred on so many distinguished achievers.
He said that this initiative of the India Diamond Board is a reflection of India’s confidence, skill, prosperity and global aspirations. India will emerge as the global hub for gems and jewellery in the coming years.
