Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday cautioned against attempts to sow differences and create divisions in the country but asserted that such efforts will not succeed.
Addressing a rally of the National Cadet Corps (NCC) at the Cariappa Ground in Delhi Cantonment, Modi said the mantra of unity was the only way for India to achieve grandeur. He said that the entire world was looking towards India because of the youth of the country.
“This is the time of new opportunities for the youth of India. Everywhere it is evident that India’s time has arrived,” Modi said addressing the NCC cadets who took part in the Republic Day celebrations.
At the same time, the prime minister urged caution against attempts to divide the country.
“Several pretexts are being raised to break the country. Several issues are raked up to create divisions among the children of Mother India),” Modi said.
“Despite such efforts, there will never be differences among the people of India,” he said.
Modi’s remarks came against the backdrop of the raging controversy over a BBC documentary on the 2002 Gujarat riots that has been banned in India.
