With out naming Pakistan, Modi raised the problem of monetary disaster and bankruptcy-like conditions present within the neighbouring nation. “At the moment, the scenario is dangerous in lots of international locations. Many countries are turning bankrupt. One in all our neighbours, who was the provider of terror, is now longing even for wheat flour,” he mentioned.
Including in the identical vein, he accused the Congress authorities of weakening the nation’s defence sector and never wanting past their self-interest in defence and weapon offers. “All the nation has seen how the Congress put all its energy to forestall the Indian Air Pressure from getting the Rafale fighter craft. Had there been a Congress regime even now, India’s indigenous gentle fight plane Tejas wouldn’t have been up within the sky. Beneath the BJP authorities, not solely is our defence institution changing into Atmanirbhar (self-dependent), however the nation can also be donning the brand new identification of changing into an exporter of weapons. This yr alone, the defence exports from India have touched Rs 21,000 crore. As I communicate now, our BrahMos missiles are able to be exported to the Philippines,” Modi commented.
