Lucknow, Jun 10: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday asserted that India now responds with strength rather than silence and if someone imposes war on the country, the answer will be in the form of Operation Sindoor.
\nLauding 11 years of Modi government at the Centre, he also said these years will be remembered as a \u201cgolden period\u201d in the making of a developed and self-reliant India.
\nReferring to Operation Sindoor that was launched in the aftermath of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, he said, \u201cIf someone imposes war on us or encourages terrorism, the answer will be surgical strikes, air strikes and Operation Sindoor\u201d.
\nCriticising the previous governments at the Centre, he said, \u201cEarlier, before 2014, there was a prevailing trend in the country to remain passive on issues like terrorism. The narrative was that India is a nation that only advocates peace \u2014 no matter the circumstances. \u201cThere was a tendency to chant the mantra of peace even in the face of aggression. That mindset had deeply taken root,\u201d he said addressing a gathering on the completion of 11 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s leadership at the Centre.
\n\u201cBut through the \u2018new normal\u2019 established under the current leadership, that approach has been completely reversed. Now, India responds with strength, not silence.\u201d \u201cIn the past 11 years, Prime Minister Modi has given India a distinct global identity. His governance is marked by service, good administration and welfare of the poor,\u201d he said.
\nThe chief minister said the country has received a leadership that is free from corruption, dynastic politics and appeasement.
\nUnder Modi\u2019s leadership, India has emerged as a symbol of trust for its 140 crore citizens and regained its honour on the global platform, which he claimed had diminished during the 65 years of Congress and other \u201cunstable\u201d governments, he asserted.
\n\u201cThe vision of \u2018Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat\u2019 (One India, Great India) is now being realised under a strong and decisive leadership,\u201d the chief minister said. (Agencies)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
