BJP national general secretary and Jammu and Kashmir in-charge Tarun Chugh on Thursday said India has safely brought back its citizens caught in conflict situations in various countries with dignity under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He said PM Modi has made it clear to the world, particularly US President Donald Trump, that there will be no third-party mediation in India's internal matters.Modi on Wednesday spoke with Trump and set the record straight that Operation Sindoor was "paused" following a request from Pakistan and not due to any mediation or offer of a trade deal by the US.
"This is truly a golden age. Whether it was in Nepal, the Middle East, the Russia-Ukraine war or the Iran-Israel conflict, India has safely brought back its citizens with dignity and protection," Chugh told reporters in Jammu.Praising the PM for ensuring the safety of every Indian abroad, he said, "I thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, who has ensured the safety of every Indian, no matter where they are in the world. Even now, Indians are being evacuated from ongoing war zones.
This is a moment of great pride." Chugh was replying to a question about students being brought safely from Iran. "Whenever there was a problem faced by Indians in the world, Prime Minister Modi brought every Indian with bravery from the conflict areas. Whether it is Operation Ganga or the Middle East or people caught in Nepal's earthquake devastation or these wars, every Indian was brought back to our country," he said.
He said today, India's glory and strength are being recognised across the world. "Our economy, which was struggling at the 14th position, has now risen significantly. I am proud to say that India is the fastest-growing economy in the world," he said.Replying to another question about the prime minister's talks with Trump, he said, "Modi ji clearly told the world, particularly the president of the United States, that a third power, third person or another country will not intervene in our issue."
Chugh said that today, there is a zero-tolerance government against corruption and it is led by PM Modi. "We have ensured that crores of rupees reach the people at the grassroots level without any cuts, directly from the Centre." Hitting out at the NC, the BJP leader said, "It was Rajiv Gandhi who once said out of every Rs 100 sent from Delhi, only 14 paise reached the grassroots. Omar Abdullah ji, your alliance is with the Congress and it was the then prime minister Rajiv Gandhi who admitted that only 14 paise reached the people in J&K." He praised the Modi government for ensuring transparency and accountability in financial matters and said, "But today, under Prime Minister Modi, if Rs 100 is sent from Delhi, the full Rs 100 reaches the poor. Earlier, only 14 paise reached them."
