Bharat Mata’s enemies have seen your (the soldiers’) fire and fury… Your courage... is incomparable...till the security of the country is in your hands and strong intentions, not just me, but the whole country has complete faith NARENDRA MODI, Prime Minister

said that “enemies” had seen both the “fire and fury” of Indian soldiers.

The PM also spoke of the raft of decisions that had been taken to strengthen India’s defence apparatus and border infrastructure in recent years; quoted a wide range of Sanskrit, Tamil, and Hindi sayings to convey determination and resolve; and highlighted Buddha’s emphasis on courage as conviction and compassion.
