  • There is a deep agony in my heart. The April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam has left every citizen heartbroken. Every Indian feels deep sympathy for the families of the victims.
  • Global leaders have called me, written letters, sent messages. Everyone has strongly condemned this heinous terrorist attack.

  • The perpetrators and conspirators of the attack will face harshest punishment.
  • I understand, every Indian is seething with anger after seeing the images of the terrorist attack. This attack in Pahalgam reflects the frustration of those who patronise terrorism. At a time when peace was returning to Kashmir, enemies of the nation and J&K did not like it. Terrorists and their masters want Kashmir to be destroyed once again. That is why such a big conspiracy was hatched. In this war against terrorism, the unity of the nation is our biggest strength. We must strengthen our resolve to face this challenge.
  • Unity among 140 crore Indians is the biggest weapon in country’s decisive battle against terrorism and their patrons. I reassure the bereaved families that he will get justice, justice will be done for sure.

  • India is set to reach new heights. The country is preparing for several significant missions, including Gaganyaan, SpaDeX, and Chandrayaan-4. We are also working on the Venus Orbiter Mission and the Mars Lander Mission.Our space scientists are poised to fill the nation with renewed pride through their innovations.
  • You must have seen the horrifying images of the devastating earthquake that struck Myanmar last month. That's why India immediately launched Operation Brahma for the people of Myanmar... We are extremely proud of everyone who participated in Operation Brahma. 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' encapsulates our traditions and values. In times of crisis, India's quick response as a global friend and India's commitment to humanity are becoming our identity.
  • Whenever it comes to serving humanity, India always takes the lead and will continue to do so in every such need in the future as well.
  • My dear countrymen, today, we see the world admiring the talent of India. The youth of India have transformed- the way the world looks at our country.
  • The greatest strength of our nation lies in our 140 crore citizens, their capabilities, their willpower, and when millions of people come together for a campaign, its impact is immense. One such example is- "Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam".
