Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who visited Kargil on Monday to celebrate Diwali with the Armed Forces personnel, gave a stern warning to enemies of the country. Addressing the soldiers during his visit, he said India wants peace but it is also ready to retaliate to any provocation.
The Prime Minister also mentioned that India has never viewed war as the first option.
“Be it the war in Lanka or Kurukshetra, we tried till last to postpone it. We are against war but peace can’t be there without strength. If anyone dares to look at us with evil eyes, our Armed Forces will give a befitting reply,” PM Modi remarked.
