Wiping out colonial mindset key to Viksit Bharat: Amit Shah
File photo: Union home minister Amit Shah (Picture credit: ANI) NEW DELHI: Union minister Amit Shah on Monday underscored the Modi government's vision of building a Viksit Bharat by 2047, outlining a five-point national resolve to guide India's progress in the coming decades. The five resolutions, as articulated by Shah, include achieving the goal of a fully developed India, fostering unity and solidarity across all sections of society, taking pride in India's cultural heritage, eradicating all remnants of colonial mindset in governance, culture, and institutions, and ensuring that every citizen contributes proactively to nation-building. Speaking at the 63rd Foundation Day celebrations of Bharat Vikas Parishad, Shah said that "erasing the remnants of a colonial mindset and instilling a strong sense of duty among citizens" will be central to realising India's aspirations as it approaches 100 years of independence. Shah also highlighted major steps taken by the Modi government over the last 11 years, saying they had brought about "transformational changes in governance, security, and development." Among the initiatives he cited were opening over 55 crore bank accounts for families without access to financial services, providing clean drinking water to 15 crore households, building 12 crore toilets, distributing 10 crore LPG connections, and giving 4 crore houses to the poor. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo On internal security, Shah pointed to abrogation of Article 370 as a landmark decision that integrated J&K and curbed terrorism.

"PM Modi has set before the country a vision that combines development with heritage. Today, India is on track to becoming a $30 trillion economy over next few decades, but this prosperity must reach every citizen."

'Don't think you've won the war': Amit Shah to Pahalgam perpetrators
NEW DELHI: Home minister Amit Shah Thursday said terrorists are mistaken if they believe that by killing innocent civilians in Pahalgam, they have won the war, as he publicly vowed a targeted response against each and every one involved in the atrocity and pledged to uproot every act of terrorism from Indian soil. He added that those responsible for the attack will be held accountable and given appropriate response. "Today, they should not think that by killing 27 citizens, they have won the war. I want to tell all the perpetrators of terrorism that this is not the end of the fight but only a turning point... ek makam hai, har vyakti ko chun-chun kar jawab milega, jawab bhi liya jayega (each one involved will be given a fitting response and will be held accountable too)," Shah said in his first public speech after the slaughter of tourists at Pahalgam. Shah, who was addressing a meeting after the unveiling of the statue of Upendranath Brahma, a leading figure among the Bodos, in Delhi, asserted that the fight against terrorists and their backers would continue until each one of perpetrators is punished. Shah said BJP govt, under PM Modi's leadership, has effectively tackled terror threats everywhere - be it in the northeast, areas impacted by left-wing extremism, or in Kashmir - and has given befitting responses. "If anyone thinks that a cowardly attack is their big victory, they must remember this is Narendra Modi's India - none will be spared. Our resolve is to uproot terrorism from every inch of India, and it will become a reality," he added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thousands Are Saving Money Using This Wall Plug elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Click Here Undo Soon after the terror attack, the home minister had rushed to Srinagar and visited Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam. He met the grieving families and vowed that the "culprits of this dastardly terror attack will not be spared". Last week, the PM in his first remarks at a public event in Bihar, had issued a similar warning. "We will go to the ends of the earth to find the perpetrators," he had said. Shah, in his address, said no Bodo should have an inferiority complex; they have the same rights in the country as the home minister himself. Recalling the signing of Bodo Accord in 2020 after nine months of discussions, Shah said everyone dropped their weapons and joined the mainstream. "I want to tell all tribes that BJP govt honours the pacts it signs. We are implementing several agreements that were signed before us. They (earlier govts) did not follow them. We have cleared 96% of issues that were part of Bodo Accord. We will resolve 100% issues before next election in Assam," he added. The home minister said that Modi govt has signed over 20 accords in the northeast and over 10,000 people have surrendered and integrated inro the society. "On an average, 78% of the issues have been resolved in the past four years... This shows what we do what we say," he added. Earlier, Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sharma highlighted the progress made in the state under BJP rule and said that the state, which previously used to see violence, now hardly reports any incidents.

Modi govt to not spare those responsible for terrorism: Amit Shah
New Delhi, May 1 (UNI) Paying tributes to the Pahalgam terror attack victims, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday firmly said that anyone believing they have succeeded through such cowardly attacks should understand that "this is the Modi government which will not spare anyone". Addressing an event after unveiling the statue and naming of road and Rotary as a tribute to Bodofa Upendranath Brahma here, he said, "The terrorists should not think that today they have won this battle by taking the lives of our citizens. This is not the end of the battle and every person responsible for terrorism will be answered and will also be asked to answer," an official statement said. Shah said that the resolve of the Modi government to root out terrorism from the soil of India will be fulfilled. Not only 140 crore Indians but the entire world is standing with India in this fight. All the countries of the world are unitedly standing with the people of India in the fight against terrorism. "Our fight will continue till terrorism is not eliminated and those who have committed this misdeed will definitely be punished," he asserted. He said the pain of the loss of lives in the Pahalgam attack is as much in the hearts of their families as it is in the heart of every citizen of the country. He said, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a zero-tolerance policy against those involved in terrorism in Kashmir and we are fighting our battle strongly." The Home Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, whether it's insurgency in North-East, Left-wing extremism or terrorism in Kashmir, all these have been given befitted reply. He said that Bodofa is known for fighting for respect, identity and equal rights not only for Bodoland and Bodo community but also for the entire tribal community. Shah said that Bodofa brought together people of all tribes living in abject poverty. Today Bodofa is no more but his formula of live and let live has been accepted by the entire Bodoland and tribal society. He said that after the sacrifice of thousands of youth, today Bodoland has moved ahead on the path of peace and development. Today the whole of Assam accepts the people of Bodoland and Bodoland accepts Assam. Bodo people have as much right on this country as all others. Shah further said that after nine months of extensive discussion, the Bodo Accord was signed in 2020 and all the people have joined the mainstream by laying down their arms. He said that the Modi government also abides by whatever agreements it makes. He said that the Modi government has signed more than 20 agreements in the North-East and more than 10,000 people have laid down their arms and joined the mainstream. In more than 20 agreements, 78 percent of the issues have been fulfilled by the Modi government in the last 3-4 years. Noting that, "This shows that we do what we say and today the whole of Assam has moved forward on the path of peace." Shah said that now the Bodo youth should carry forward the basic idea of Bathou religion with the motto of live and let live and contribute to the development of Assam. Today, Assam has become a centre of attraction for industrial investment in the entire country and many industries are developing in Assam, he added. Many dignitaries, including Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta were present on the occasion. UNI RBE SS
