Our government prioritised national interest, we entered Pakistan and attacked terrorists: PM Modi 

PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday addressed a rally in Uttar Pradesh's Azamgarh and said that the region experienced terrorism during the UPA government and had become "synonymous with terrorism before 2014, not so any longer".

Lauding his government and its work against terrorism in the past five years, the prime minister asked how is it now that terror activities and bomb blasts occurrences have been brought under control?

"How were bomb blasts brought under control in all cities after 2014? How have terror activities been restricted only to J&K now?" PM Modi said.

"It is because our government prioritised national interest. We entered Pakistan and attacked terrorists," he said.

He went on to slam the 'grand alliance' and noted that the 'mahagathbandhan' "can lead only to anarchy and instability".

On Wednesday, while addressing a rally in Kurukshetra, Haryana, PM Modi slammed the Congress party for its softer stance against Pakistan in the past and promised with his return to power, India’s share of river water won’t go to Pakistan.

He said that the previous governments were never considerate to preserve the water of Indian rivers for the advantage of the farmers.
