Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public rally in Churu district of Rajasthan.

It was Prime Minister Modi’s second public meeting in Rajasthan within four days. He had visited Tonk on February 23.

The Prime Minister stressed that nothing was above the nation. “Today is a day to pay homage to India’s bravehearts. I want to assure you that the country is in safe hands,” he said at a public rally in Churu, Rajasthan

“I want to assure the people of India that the country is in safe hands. I will not let the country suffer. I will protect the honour of the country, I will not let the country bow down,” Modi said at a public meeting in Churu, Rajasthan.

This is the first statement from PM Modi after India carried out an air strike deep inside Pakistan. The strike was in retaliation to the killing of 40 personnel of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in an attack by a suicide bomber in Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir.
