‘Our main enemy is dependence on other nations’: PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday at a rally in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, that India’s biggest enemy is its dependence on other countries.
The prime minister reiterated the need for self-reliance while addressing a rally in Bhavnagar and said, “Today, India is moving forward with the spirit of ‘Vishwabandhu’. We have no major enemy in the world. Our biggest enemy is our dependence on other countries. This is our biggest enemy, and together we must defeat this enemy of India, the enemy of dependence.”
“The greater the foreign dependence, the greater the country’s failure. For global peace, stability, and prosperity, the country with the world’s largest population must become Atmanirbhar. If we remain dependent on others, our self-respect will be hurt. We cannot leave the future of 1.4 billion countrymen to others,” the PM added.
“There is only one medicine for a hundred sorrows, and that is a self-reliant India,” he said.
