Speaking for the first time after the Uri attack, the PM was at his oratory best as he ripped into the Pakistani state even as as he extended an olive branch to the people.
Speaking at the BJP National Meet in Kozhikode, PM Modi held nothing back as he ripped into the Pakistani state and its export of terrorism, even as he extended an olive branch to the Pakistani public. Directly addressing the people of Pakistan, he asked them to beat bigger demons like illiteracy, employment, maternal and children’s deaths and poverty. Speaking for the first time since the Uri attack, the PM started off by praising BJP workers in Kerala and the people in Kerala in general, he switched speaking about how the 21st Century will be Asia’s Century. And then he pointedly spoke about the one nation that didn’t want to be part of this success story.
Top Moment 1: Every country in Asia wants to be successful except one
He said: “All countries in Asia is working forward to make sure that 21st century becomes Asia's 21st century except one country. There is one nation in Asia whose aim is this century does not become Asia's and is associated with terrorism. Question is not only about India, everywhere this is one country which is exporting terrorism everywhere.”
Top Moment 2: Nailing the Pakistan’s connection to global terrorism
Mocking Pakistan’s global link to terrorism: “Wherever terrorism is happening across Asia, the affected nations are blaming only 1 nation. Whenever news about terrorism comes, news also comes either the terrorist came from there or like Osama Bin Laden went there after the act.”
Top Moment 3: Hindustan won’t bow to terrorism
He added: “Terrorism is the enemy of humanity. We need to join our hands to defeat terrorism. Hindustan na kabhi aatankwaad ke saamne jhuka hai, aur na kabhi jhukega. Ek desh Asia mein aisa hai jo, pura Asia rakt ranajit ho, pura Asia antakwadi ki chapet mein aa jaye. Khoon kharaba ho, nirdosh log maut ke ghat utaar diye jaye, uske sharyantra mei laga hua hai.” (India has never bowed before terrorists, and it never will. Because of once country, the entire continent of Asia is beleaguered with terrorism. The country wants blood, wants to kill innocents and is stuck to doing that.”
Top Moment 4: Remembering the jawans
He said: “Our 18 soldiers had to sacrifice their lives because of terrorists exported by our neighbouring country. There's anger in entire country post Uri attack. 18 of our soldiers sacrificed their life after our neighbour exported terrorists there. Aatankwaadi kaan kholke sunle, ye desh iss baat ko kabhi bhoolne wala nahin hai. (Terrorists listen to me, this nation will never forget this sacrifice). We are very proud of our Armed forces.”
Top moment 5: 'You read speeches written by terrorists'
Directly targeting his counterpart, the PM ripped into leaders who read speeches prepared by terrorists and added that no one expected anything from him. He said: “I want talk to the leaders across the border in Pakistan who read speeches prepared by terrorists. The world has no expectations from them.”
Top Moment 6: Addressing the people of Pakistan
Directly addressing the people of Pakistan, PM Modi said: “Leaders of neighbouring country used to say that they will fight for 1000 years, but where are they lost now. I want to talk to the people of Pakistan from here today. In the last few months, our neighbour tried to destroy our country by exporting terrorists more than 17 times but our army defeated them.” More than 110 terrorists killed in the past few months by Indian army as they were trying to infiltrate. I want to inform Pakistan that before 1947 even your leaders used to salute this land.”
Top Moment 7: Can’t handle Gilgit, but you want to interfere in Kashmir
Pointing that Pakistan as a nation had trouble handling regions in its control, the talk about Kashmir was to foment mischief. He said: “PoK aapke paas hai usko aap sambhaal nahi paate aur aapko (to Pak people) Kashmir ki baatein karke gumrah kar rahe hain. (You have PoK but you can’t handle that, and they are distracting
You can imagine, our neighbour was successful in one incident and our 18 soldiers had to sacrifice their lives. if they would have succeeded in the other 17 times, what would have happened? Pakistan is aiming for Kashmir, they should first look at the land they have already captured ie PoK, Gilgit and Balochistan. Ask them (to Pak people) you can't handle Gilgit, PoK, Balochistan which is with you, then why mislead people by talking of Kashmir?”
Top Moment 8: Software v/s terror
Drawing another analogy, PM Modi asked why the two nations had such different export products. He said: “We are exporting software all over the world, whereas Pakistan is exporting terrorists in entire world.”
Top Moment 9: Let’s fight for things that matter
Perhaps the most important bit of the speech, PM Modi looked to urge Pakistanis to battle things that matter. Issues like unemployment, illiteracy which have plagued both nations since their employment. He said: “I want to tell Pak people; India is ready to fight you. If you have strength, come forward to fight against poverty. Let’s see who wins? who is able to defeat poverty and illiteracy first, Pakistan or India?”
Top Moment 10: A day will come…
And perhaps the most intriguing part of his speech came at the very end when the PM Modi said that soon Pakistanis will be fighting the Pakistani state. He said: “A day will come when people of Pakistan will go against its own government to fight terrorism. India has been successful in isolating Pakistan, and will intensify that so that you are completely isolated. People of Pak should ask their leaders. India & Pak got freedom in same year but India exports software & your leaders export terrorists.”
