Churu: In his first public address after air strikes on terror camps in Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tuesday said the country is in safe hands and that he will not let the country down.
The prime minister stressed that nothing was above the nation.
"Today is a day to pay homage to India's bravehearts. Today, from the land of Churu, I want to assure the people of the country that the country is in safe hands," he said at a public rally here.
The prime minister, however, did not make a direct reference to the strikes.
Recalling his address at the 2014-Vijay Shankhnad Yuva Sangam, the prime minister said today was the day to reiterate the sentiments.
"My soul says today is the day to reiterate what I had expressed in 2014. I swear by my land I won't let my country be destroyed. I will not let the country stop. I will not let the country bow down. I pledge to the motherland that I will not let her head down," he said.
Nothing is above the nation. Those who serve the nation, everyone who is engaged in nation building, Pradhan Sevak once again greets them, he said.
