- Let's express our gratefulness towards the courage and dedication of the Armed Forces this day: PM Modi.
- Post Ayodhya verdict on 9th November, 130 crore Indian again proved that nothing is more important than country's interest. The morals of peace, unity and harmony are above everything: PM Modi.
PM Modi encourages people to use mother tongue
- "Recently I read a story about Uttarakhand's Dharchula. This story tells us how some people are coming forward to promote their language. Dharchula got my attention because I used to stay there," PM Modi said.
- "There are a lot of people of Rung community living in Pithoragarh's Dharchula. These people converse in the local language called Runglo. They used to get sad knowing that people speaking the language were reducing. So one day, all resolved to protect their language and very soon many rung community people joined this mission," he added.
- "You will be surprised to know that there are around 10,000 people in this community only. But each of them got together to protect their language. Be it 84-year-old Deewan Singh or 22-year-old Vaishali Garbyal, everyone got involved. Social media was also used and Whatsapp groups were formed and many people were associated," the Prime Minister further said.
Never had desire to enter politics: PM Modi
- Answering one of the cadets, PM Modi said, "..every child goes through multiple phases in life. Sometimes one wants to become this, sometimes one wants to become that, but it is true that I never had the desire to enter politics, nor I ever thought about it," he said.
- PM Modi said that "due to Google", his reading habits have suffered as there is a shortcut available to find references.
