NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a rally in UP's Sonbhadra, said it is because of India's rising power that we are able to evacuate citizens from crisis-hit Ukraine.
India will not spare any effort to bring home citizens from Ukraine, the Prime Minister said.
We're making all efforts to evacuate people stuck in Ukraine under Operation Ganga. More than 1000 civilians have been brought back to India, PM added
Hitting out at the opposition, the PM said, "Those who questioned the valour of the armed forces and 'Make in India' can't make the country strong."
Asserting that the country has made it a priority to rescue all Indians stuck in Ukraine, Modi said, "It is due to India's rising strength that we are are able to bring back stranded Indians from Ukraine. Operation Ganga has been launched and I have sent four ministers to oversee the evacuation."
''Our army and air force have also been deployed to rescue the Indians in distress faster. Today I also assure the people of the country that the Government of India will leave no stone unturned for the safe return of its citizens.''
PM Modi that it has become essential that India becomes self-reliant.
"The dynasts question our vaccine, they question our armed forces and make fun of 'Make in India'. Such people have shamed the country and its people. They can't make India strong," he added
PM Modi has held four meetings in three days over the evacuation of Indian citizens from Ukraine.
