Prime Minister Modi paying tribute to jawans serving at the border also said: “My soul says today is the day to reiterate what I had expressed in 2014. I swear by my land I won’t let my country be destroyed. I will not let the country stop. I will not let the country bow down. I pledge to the motherland that I will not let her head down.”

Modi also said he was able to work because the party is above individuals and the country is above the party.

With the sentiment of ‘Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan and Jai Vigyan’, he further added that the country is progressing ahead.

“Pradhan sevak is able to work because party is bigger than individuals and country is bigger than the party. We are working with the feeling to serve the people of the country,” Modi said.

India has carried out a “non-military, preemptive action” against a major terror camp of the Jaish-e-Mohammed in Balakot said Modi in light of the events happened earlier this morning.

“Credible intelligence was received that JeM was attempting another suicide terror attack in various parts of the country, and the fidayeen jihadis were being trained for this purpose. In the face of imminent danger, a preemptive strike became absolutely necessary,” Ministry of External Affairs secretary Vijay Gokhale said at a press briefing in New Delhi.

In an operation that began in the early hours today, Gokhale said, a large number of JeM terrorists, trainers, senior commanders were eliminated. The camp was run by Maulana Yousuf Azhar, the brother-in-law of JeM chief Masood Azhar.

“The Government of India is firmly and resolutely committed to taking all necessary measures to fight the menace of terrorism. Hence this non-military preemptive action was specifically targeted at the JeM camp. The selection of the target was also conditioned by our desire to avoid civilian casualties,” Gokhale added.
