‘India Introduced Non-Violence To World But…': PM Modi's Veiled Dig At Pakistan
Last Updated: PM Modi reminded that India was preaching non-violence at a time when the world used violence to quell violence. Making a veiled reference to Pakistan without naming the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that India introduced the world to non-violence, but it would not allow anyone to meddle in the peace. He said that India advocated 'ahimsa" at a time when the world used violence to quell violence for thousands of years. His remarks came while addressing the centenary celebrations of Jain spiritual leader Acharya Vidyanand Ji Maharaj in the national capital. 'Jo humein chhedega (those who tease us)…" PM Modi said, leaving the sentence incomplete and drawing massive cheers from the audience. However, he did not dwell any further on the issue. 'Even if you did not say it in words, you were perhaps conveying your blessings for Operation Sindoor," he said, referring to the preceding speech of a Jain seer. Speaking at the Centenary Celebrations of Acharya Vidyanand Ji Maharaj. — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) June 28, 2025 On May 7, India had launched Operation Sindoor to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians on April 22. In its precision strikes in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, India killed over 100 terrorists. PM Modi emphasised that India is a nation where service and humanity lie at the heart of its values. 'At a time when violence was being countered with more violence for centuries, India introduced the world to the strength of ahimsa (non-violence)," he said. 'India is the world's oldest living civilisation. We have endured for thousands of years because our ideas are timeless, our thinking is timeless, and our philosophy is timeless," he added. The Prime Minister said that the foundation of India's timeless philosophy lies in the teachings of its saints, seers, mahants, and acharyas. He was referring to Acharya Vidyanand Ji Maharaj, the spiritual leader credited with reviving and restoring ancient Jain temples across the country and promoting education, particularly in Prakrit, Jain philosophy, and classical languages. PM Modi also noted that the acharya's ideals have influenced the government's welfare programmes. 'Schemes like PM Awas Yojana, Jal Jeevan Mission, Ayushman Bharat Yojana, and others reflect a spirit of service towards the most disadvantaged sections of society," he said.

‘India introduced non-violence to the world but…': At Jain seer's centenary celebrations, PM Modi takes jibe at Pakistan
In a veiled warning to Pakistan, without naming the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday that India had introduced the world to the power of non-violence, but would not allow anybody to meddle with it. PM Modi was speaking at the centenary celebrations of Jain spiritual leader Acharya Vidyanand Ji Maharaj in New Delhi. 'Jo humein chhedega (Those who tease us),' he said, leaving the sentence incomplete amid applause from the crowd. He then continued, 'Even if you did not say it in words, you were perhaps conveying your blessings for Operation Sindoor.' Operation Sindoor was India's military response to the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 civilian lives, believed to have been carried out by Pakistan-backed Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives. PM Modi asserted that India is a country where service and humanity are central to its ethos. 'When for ages, efforts were being made to quell violence with violence, then India introduced to the world the power of ahimsa (non-violence),' he said. 'India is the oldest living civilisation in the world. We are immortal for thousands of years, because our thoughts are immortal, our thinking is immortal, our philosophy is immortal,' he said at the event organised by the Ministry of Culture to mark the year-long centenary celebrations of Jain seer Acharya Vidyanand Ji Maharaj. The source of this philosophy is 'our saints, seers, mahants and acharyas', PM Modi said about the spiritual leader who was instrumental in the restoration and revival of ancient Jain temples across India and worked for education, especially in Prakrit, Jain philosophy, and classical languages. PM Modi asserted that his ideas have inspired the government's welfare schemes. 'Whether it is PM Awas Yojana, Jal Jivan Mission, Ayushman Bharat Yojana, and other such welfare schemes, they signify the sense of service towards the last person in the social hierarchy,' he said. He also underlined that through his literature and music, he had endeavoured to revive the ancient Prakrit language. 'Because of those who neglected their own culture, this language was going out of vogue,' PM Modi said in a reference to the previous governments. 'We took efforts…and last year in October, our government accorded it (Prakrit) the status of a classical language,' he added. 'In our mission to digitise ancient manuscripts, a large section of it includes religious texts related to Jainism and manuscripts associated with acharyas. We want to go ahead on this subject,' he said, adding that mother tongues are being promoted in higher education as well. He also emphasised that his government has vowed to rid the country of the 'slavery mindset'.
