‘New India’ responds decisively to terror threats: PM

New Delhi, Nov 28: Asserting that the “New India” responds decisively to terror threats, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday reiterated that the nation would neither bow before anyone, nor will it leave any stone unturned to safeguard its citizens.
Referring to April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 people dead, PM Modi said, “The country and the entire world witnessed the government’s resolve through Operation Sindoor, the military response involving precision strikes on terror launchpads in Pakistan.”
He highlighted that earlier, governments remained passive in the face of such attacks, whereas today, India acts firmly to protect its citizens. “This is a new India that neither bows before anyone nor wavers from its duty to safeguard its people,” PM Modi said.
The Prime Minister added that India understands both how to establish peace and how to protect it.
PM Modi also urged citizens to follow nine resolutions inspired by dharmic principles including conserving water, planting trees, uplifting the poor, promoting Swadeshi, advancing natural farming, embracing healthy lifestyles, practicing yoga, preserving manuscripts, and visiting at least 25 heritage sites.
He noted that these efforts reflect both spiritual discipline and practical measures for sustainable development, public welfare, and heritage preservation.
PM Modi also called on citizens to fulfill their duties toward society and the nation, underlining that combining spiritual wisdom with civic responsibility ensures collective progress.
He described this alignment of devotion, knowledge, and service as central to building a developed India and strengthening the role of communities in achieving sustainable growth by 2047. (KNO)
