How can national security not be an issue? asks PM Modi

TIL Desk/National/Bihar/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday asserted that terrorism could be wiped out only by an aggressive strategy like the one adopted by his government and scoffed at the opposition for taking exception to making national security an election issue.

“The Mahamilavatis say national security is not an issue. How can it not be one when so many common people lose their lives in terrorist attacks?  “The perpetrators ought to be finished the way we did, by chasing them to their hideouts (ghar mein ghuskar mara), Modi said in an oblique reference to the Balakot air strikes.

Addressing an election rally here under Pataliputra Lok Sabha constituency, Modi made an emotional appeal to the voters “this is my last public meeting in the state during elections. But I will be back with my development projects among you in my fresh tenure. Your love has made me confident of a victory. But please do ensure, in the last phase, that the magnitude of the victory is handsome.”
