"I have been in Gujarat for the past two days. Yesterday I visited Vadodara, Dahod, Bhuj, and Ahmedabad, and this morning, Gandhinagar. Everywhere I went, it felt like a wave of patriotism, like the roaring sound of a saffron sea. The roar of the saffron sea, the fluttering Tricolour and immense love for the motherland in every heart. It was a sight to behold; it was an unforgettable scene," he said.

While addressing the gathering, PM Modi said if in 1947, we had killed Mujahideens who entered Kashmir, we would not have faced such a situation now.

PM Modi said, "When the Partition happened in 1947, the chains should have been cut at that time, but instead, the country was divided into three parts. Soon after, the first terrorist attack was reported in Kashmir, and Pakistan occupied one part of Kashmir. If we had killed these Mujahideens; if we had listened to Sardar Patel, he wanted the Army to not stop until we get back PoK. For 75 years, we suffered, and what happened in Pahalgam was a distorted form of that attack. The Indian Army has defeated Pakistan every time. Pakistan understood that it cannot win against India."

PM Modi said this can no longer be called a proxy war because the terrorists whose funerals were held after May 6 were given state honours in Pakistan. "Pakistan's flags were placed on their coffins, and their army saluted them. It proves that terrorist activities are not a proxy war but a well-planned war strategy. You are already at war, and you will receive the response accordingly. We do not seek enmity with anyone. We want to live peacefully. We also want to progress so that we can contribute to the welfare of the world," he said.  

PM Modi, referring to cross-border terrorism, said terrorism isn't a proxy war; it is your war strategy. You are waging war on us. Saying this, he said the Indus Water Treaty was badly negotiated and had provisions disallowing even de-silting of dams in Kashmir.

PM Modi added, "On 26th May 2014, I took the oath as the Prime Minister for the first time. At that time, India's economy was in the 11th position. Today, India has become the world's fourth-largest economy. It is a matter of pride for all of us that we have now surpassed Japan. I still remember the excitement across the country when we moved from sixth to fifth place, especially among the youth. The reason was that India had overtaken the United Kingdom, the very nation that ruled over us for 250 years."
