Noida (UP): PM Narendra Modi on Saturday again hit out at those seeking proof of India’s air strike at Balakot in Pakistan and slammed the previous Congress government for its handling of terror attacks like the one in Mumbai in 2008. Addressing a public meeting in Greater Noida, Modi said the “corrupt” are opposing and abusing him in order to get votes. Modi said today India works on ‘nayi reeti, nayi neeti’ (new methods, new
policies), asserting that after the terror attack in Uri (Jammu and Kashmir) in 2016, the country for the first time taught terrorists a lesson “in a language they understand” with surgical strikes. “Is it okay for you to have a government that does nothing? A chowkidar (referring to himself) who sleeps?” he asked the gathering of thousands, after inaugurating several development projects. He said the country can never forget the 26/11 terror attack in Mumbai. India should have responded then and the whole world would have supported the country, he said.
