India will require 7-10 days to defeat Pakistan in war, says PM Modi

January 28: Pakistan has lost three wars against India. Indian armed forces would need not more than “7 to 10 days” to defeat Pakistan in case of another war. These were the words uttered by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday while addressing the Annual National Cadet Corps (NCC) Rally 2020 at Cariappa Parade Ground, in New Delhi.

During his 45-minute speech, PM Modi said, “Many speeches were given but when our armed forces sought permission to take action, they were refused. But today the country is moving forward with ‘yuva soch’ (youthful thinking). So, it carries out surgical strikes and airstrikes to teach terrorists a lesson in their own backyard.”

Explaining in detail about the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, Mr Modi said, that the government brought in the CAA to correct “historical” injustices and some political parties are opposing it due to “vote bank politics”. Talking about last year’s scrapping of Article 370 that granted special status to J&K, the PM said that the Kashmir is the crown of India and solving the region’s decades-old problems was the government’s responsibility and it had done so.
