Liberals

develops a sense of alienation in them. These so-called liberals have one point agenda ie to criticise anything undertaken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In this melee, they neglect the national interests and fail to accept that the prime minister belongs to the whole nation.

No doubt, it is their democratic right to criticise the Prime Minister but what irks people is when they let down the persons in uniform or denigrate the faith of millions in the democratic institutions. Perhaps they have been habitual to the various privileges over the years which they feel are getting harassed by a chaiwala from Gujarat.

The steps taken by Narendra Modi to combat terrorism have been appreciated by everyone in the country. The ante raised by his government against Pakistan - the epicentre of terrorism in the international forums and the subsequent surgical strikes has raised the morale of the whole country. He exposed human rights violation in Balochistan from the ramparts of Red Fort and successfully countered the Pakistani propaganda about Kashmir.

The ability of every ruler till date has been counted by the bold decisions made by them under difficult circumstances. People have given credit to the civilian governments for such decisions and if Narendra Modi too, gets a high ranking from people, why does it cause ripples in the minds of the liberals?

It would be prudent for such elements to speak in one voice in the interest of the country. Terming the surgical strike as fake may have won them a few supporters in Pakistan but it has also made them lose many in India.

Narendra Modi garnered much support from the general public when he conveyed the those supporting terrorism too, shall not be spared.

It may be prudent for my pseudo-liberal friends to come out of the cocoon they live in and realise for themselves that much water has flown down the Ganges over the years. They reaped a good harvest from their flimsy ideas when the education and economic growth in the country was low. Today, India is not only an economic power but can also protect itself from any foreign military aggression. Its voice carries weight in international forums and does not require any certificates from the fringe elements that have no respect for its great culture or

history.
