Sharma Ji's beta finally has a name. Harshvardhan!

In the last few days, PM Modi’s oratorical game has been top drawer. His speech at the BJP National Meet drew praise from all quarters. He continued in the same vein in his bi-monthly Mann Ki Baat, where he referred to a youngster called Harshvardhan who’d been moved by the Uri attack. He read out a message of the 11th standard student who had expressed anger over the Uri incident and had the desire to do something over it. After lot of deliberation, he decided to spend extra 3 hours to studies every day as his contribution to the country.
Appreciating the boy's "constructive thinking", Prime Minister said, "there is a lot of value in the anger that people of the country have. This is a symbol of the country's awakening. This anger is of the kind of 'do something'... When 1965 war (with Pakistan) broke out and Lal Bahadur Shastri was leading the country, similar was the feeling, anger in the country."
He said: “A youngster wrote to me, Uri attack troubled me. I wanted to do something but I didn't know what to do. And what could a small scholar like me do. How can I improve the nation? So I decided I will study three hours extra for the nation so that I can help the country by becoming a good citizen.”
Understandably, Twitter was bowled over by the remark, particularly since the BJP and Modi govt has a prominent leader called Dr Harsh Vardhan.

Harshvardhan "Roasted Discovery of India with dry Midnight's Children and Train to Pakistan salad"
Modi's Harshvardhan is just another hoopla like (his son) Jeet Bahadur of Nepal. Speeches & stories. Nothing concrete but hot air balloons.

Hope Harshvardhan doesn't end up becoming a doctor as he'll have to study 24*7 for several years and we have only as many Jawans in the Army pic.twitter.com/fMKVtvz5KQ

Likening the anger in the country over Uri attack to that witnessed in the 1965 war, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today maintained that those responsible for the terror strike will surely be punished as he asserted that the army does not speak but displays bravery.
He also sent out a message to the people of Kashmir, which has been witnessing unrest for over two months, saying that "peace, unity and harmony" are the ways to resolve problems and expressed confidence that all issues can be addressed through discussions.
In his monthly radio programme 'Mann Ki Baat' which he began by paying tributes to the 18 soldiers who died in the Uri attack on September 18, Modi said, "this cowardly act was enough to shake the entire country. There is mourning as well as anger in the country."
He said, "This is a loss not only for those families which lost their sons, brothers, husbands. This loss is for the entire country. That is why, today I will say only this much, which I said on that day (of the incident) also and I will repeat it today, that the guilty will surely be punished."
Reposing faith in the Indian army, the Prime Minister said it will foil all such designs through its bravery.
"They (Indian armymen) are the people who take bravery to its pinnacle so that 125 crore people can live a peaceful life," he said.
"We are proud of our army. People and politicians get opportunities to speak and that's what they do. But the army does not speak. The army displays its bravery," Modi said.
