PM Modi's address to India and world was phenomenal!
No wonder world leaders admire PM Modi. If only they had the guts that our PM had to call out terrorists and a terror state as forcefully and decisively, the world would be a better place. PM Modi did not mince his words on Pakistan as a state sponsor of terror. He laid it all out for the civilised nations of the world to see, tonight, and reminded them of the cost we have incurred being a neighbour of a country that has not only sponsored terror but has nukes.
We did what we had to do with excellent leadership that in the last decade built up India to have the best defense systems in the world. We destroyed Chinese and Turkish drones, pulverised a ballistic missile sent from Pakistan to Delhi, and we degraded Pakistan's most valuable military assets in just two days.
This will be a case study for Western Powers in months ahead. We are a multidimensional democracy of 1.4 billion people but we stood behind our Armed Forces and it paid off. In the decade, PM Modi built up layer after layer of Make in India, defence systems. Even while we were overcoming the Covid crisis and feeding over 800 million people, we built up our economy, we got the digital payments admired by the world, and came out of the shadows of a 'Fragile Economy' to become the fourth largest in the world.
Step by step, we built up our defence systems that in the last four days saved, our cities, our people from attacks from a rogue state. It was done so effectively that Pakistan was brought to its knees literally begging for a ceasefire. But before this happened, Pakistan's army, airforce and military bases, were totally comprised and effectively taken out of action.
It took America 20 years and trillions of dollars to wage a war against terrorism. It took us less than four days. America was not fighting against a highly militarised and nuclear country, India was. A country that had attacked Mumbai, that sponsored and paid terrorists to take us down not once but several times. A country that has an army that pays and trains its soldiers on Jihad. A country that is called Pakistan, which is run by terrorists in uniform and deceives even its allies to keep the dollars flowing.
PM Modi was the first leader to stand up to this and say – Enough is Enough.
For those who still give succour and protect such evil, I tell them take a lesson from India. We are a democracy, not like China and Turkey, we also learnt the hard way with four wars and endless terror attacks.
It is not to late to support good against evil. You just need to wake up and see the world around you and realise it can also be done in a democratic society. You can win against EVIL, if you have the political will and the aptitude to destroy it.

India And China To Resume Direct Flights, Expand Kailash Yatra, Boost Bilateral Ties
New Delhi: India and China have agreed to restore direct flight connectivity between the Chinese mainland and India at the earliest. The decision came during discussions following the visit of Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi to India. Both sides also agreed to finalise an updated Air Services Agreement. 'Both sides agreed to resume direct flight connectivity between Chinese mainland and India at the earliest, and finalize an updated Air Services Agreement. They also agreed on the facilitation of visas to tourists, businesses, media and other visitors in both directions,' the statement read. Flight operations were previously suspended following the Doklam crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, India and China have agreed to continue and further expand the scale of the Indian pilgrimage to Mt. Kailash/Gang Renpoche and Lake Manasarovar/Mapam Yun Tso in Tibet starting in 2026. Reopening the Nathula route for the yatra had earlier been raised in Parliament by Sikkim Rajya Sabha MP DT Lepcha, prompting coordinated efforts between the Governments of India and Sikkim. The resumption of the Nathula route is expected to provide a spiritual avenue for pilgrims while boosting tourism and supporting local economies along the path. On August 19, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Director of the Foreign Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee, at the Prime Minister's Office in Delhi. The Chinese Foreign Ministry released a statement on the meeting. PM Modi asked Wang Yi to convey his cordial greetings to Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang. He expressed anticipation for attending the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Tianjin Summit in China and for meeting President Xi Jinping. India will fully support China as the rotating chair of the SCO to ensure the summit's success. PM Modi emphasised the shared heritage of India and China, describing both as ancient civilisations with long histories of friendly exchanges. He highlighted that the leaders' meeting in Kazan last October marked a turning point in bilateral relations. 'India and China are partners, not rivals, and both face the common task of accelerating development,' the statement read. Both countries agreed to strengthen exchanges, enhance mutual understanding, and expand cooperation to showcase the potential of India-China relations. The statement also stressed the importance of prudently managing border issues and preventing differences from escalating into disputes.

Relief for India as China agrees to lift curbs on rare earth, fertiliser exports
Wang Yi, S Jaishankar NEW DELHI: External affairs minister S Jaishankar's meeting with counterpart Wang Yi saw efforts by both sides to address each other's concerns and interests, with Beijing agreeing to remove curbs on export of fertilisers, rare earth minerals and tunnel boring machines to cater to India's needs. Indian authorities said these were three key concerns raised in the meeting. Both sides also agreed to re-opening border trade through designated trading points, namely Lipulekh, Shipki La and Nathu La. Wang brought up Taiwan and Jaishankar stressed there had been no change in India's position. Like most other countries, India follows a One-China policy. However, as external affairs ministry said, India emphasised that like the rest of the world it has a relationship with Taiwan focused on economic, technology and cultural ties, and this would continue. EAM raises with Wang trade curbs, dam on Brahmaputra The Indian side noted that China also cooperates with Taiwan in these very domains," the ministry said. India was among the first non-socialist countries to recognise People's Republic of China in 1950. While it never abandoned its One China policy, India stopped publicly articulating the same 15 years ago amid growing differences with Beijing on issues related to J&K and Arunachal Pradesh. Like most other countries, India doesn't have formal diplomatic or political ties with Taiwan. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night? Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo Jaishankar also underlined India's concerns with regard to the mega dam construction being undertaken by China in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Tsangpo (Brahmaputra), which will have implications for lower riparian states, said MEA. In the meeting on Monday, Jaishankar for the second time this year raised issues related to trade restrictions imposed by China. He had flagged it last month in a meeting with Wang on the margins of the SCO foreign ministers' meeting. China announced in April its decision to implement export controls on certain rare earth items. According to MEA, govt remained in touch with the Chinese side, in Beijing as well as in Delhi, to bring "predictability in supply chain for trade consistent with international practices". India's rare earth magnet import dependency on China has hovered at 80%-85% in the past three years. India has set up National Critical Mineral Mission to increase domestic capacity and build supply chain resilience in critical minerals. India had earlier also taken up with China the issue of restricted fertiliser supplies. Indian companies had in fact signed long-term agreements with their Saudi counterparts last month for continued supplies of DAP, the fertiliser most used in India after urea. China is one of the countries India has been dependent on for DAP supplies. A foreign ministry spokesperson in Beijing did not confirm if China was going to review export licences or if it was making an exemption for India but said China stood ready to strengthen dialogue and cooperation with relevant countries and jointly keep global industrial and supply chains stable. In his meeting with Jaishankar, Wang had said "in today's world, the changing situation is evolving rapidly, unilateral bullying practices are rampant, and free trade and the international order face severe challenges". Jaishankar too had underlined the imperative of working towards ensuring a stable global economy.
