Prime Minister Narendra Modi was addressing a rally in Amroha in Uttar Pradesh.
Some people lose their sleep when India hits back at terrorists, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today, adding that opposition parties are putting the lives and future of the people in danger.
Addressing a rally in Amroha in Uttar Pradesh ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections beginning April 11, the prime minister said "some people" did not like the fact that terrorists are being given a reply in their own language.
"After the terrorist attack, should I have remained silent or attacked?" he asked the gathering, referring to the February 14 terror attack on a CRPF convoy in Pulwama.
"Terrorists are being given a reply in their own language... this is not liked by some people who lose their sleep when India hits back," he said.
When Pakistan is exposed in front of the world, "these people" start speaking in its favour, PM Modi said.
"Be it the Congress, the SP or the BSP, they have put your life and future in danger," the prime minister said.
The governments of "Bua" (Mayawati) and "Babua" (Akhilesh Yadav) released terror accused and were kind to them, PM Modi alleged.
The prime minister said he had not let the country hang its head in shame in the five years he has been in power, stressing that the country's reputation and image is higher than it had been ever been.
"I would like to thank the government of UAE and people of UAE for honouring me with the Zayed medal...this is not an award given to Modi but to the Indian people," he said.
