Rajasthan: PM Modi Talks About Cyclone Fani, Says Country Supports Those Hit
Mumbai: On Friday Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a rally in Rajasthan by talking about cyclone Fani which has made a landfall in Odisha earlier in the day.
He stated, “We have gathered here today. At the same time, people living in coastal areas in eastern and southern India are facing an extremely severe cyclone. The Centre is in continuous contact with the governments in Odisha, West Bengal, Andhra, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.”
Ensuring the people that his government is taking all the necessary steps, PM Modi said, “I took the latest update from officers. I held a review meeting yesterday. More than Rs 1,000 crore was released to concerned governments in advance. NDRF, Indian Coast Guard, Army, Navy, Air Force are working with the administration. I assure the affected people that the nation and the Centre are with them.”
He even spoke about the trending topic in the nation about UN listing of JeM chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist. He said, “Two days back, a major enemy of India, terrorist leader Masood Azhar was designated a global terrorist. This terrorist leader, sitting in Pakistan, was giving India injuries after injuries.”
Several Soldiers lost their lives on duty, said the Pm, adding, “Several brave mothers of Rajasthan lost their brave sons while they attacked such terrorists but now this terrorist is finding it difficult to enjoy in Pakistan. Surgical strike, air strike and now this major international strike on intentions of Pakistan, terrorists & terrorist leaders.”
Collateral with previous UPA government, PM Modi said,” “When there was Congress government at the Centre, terrorist attacks had become a daily affair. No city was safe in their tenure. Everyone knows how terrorists attacked Mumbai in 2008. What happened in Mumbai at that time was neither the first nor the last.”
“In January 2008, there was an attack on CRPF camp in UP. In May, there was a bomb blast in Jaipur. In July, there were serial blasts in Bengaluru. Next day, bomb blasts in Ahmedabad. In September, there were two terror attacks in Delhi. In October, serial blasts in Guwahati, Agartala, Imphal,” he added.
It was likely a response to senior Congress leader Manmohan Singh, where he claimed that his government also held a surgical strike, it’s just that he didn’t talk about them to garner votes.
