The Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has
said that those countries who are sheltering terrorism, can’t be sphere. He
further said that we are not the country which welcomes the war and we like peace. He
was addressing a public gathering at the Dussehra Mahotsav at Aishbagh Ramleela
Ground in Lucknow today.
Greeting the people on Vijaya Dashami,
the Prime Minister said, he is fortunate to be a part of this ancient tradition
of Ramleela. He described Ramleela as the festival of victory of truth over
falsehood; and of defeating the oppressor.
He said that as we burn Ravana every
year, we should all resolve to remove the ills from ourselves, our social
structures and our nation. He asked the people to resolve to end ten
shortcomings within themselves, each Dussehra. He emphasized that all of us
have the strength to try and ward off these evils, and make this nation great.
Describing terrorism as the enemy of humanity,
the Prime Minister said that Shri Ram represents the best of humanity, and is
an epitome of sacrifice and dedication.
The Prime Minister said that it was
Jatayu - a character in the Ramayana - who fought terrorism first. Jatayu gives
us the message of fearlessness, the Prime Minister said, exhorting 125 crore
Indians to be Jatayu in the face of terrorism. He said if everyone is alert,
the evil designs of the terrorists can be foiled. The Prime Minister said that
the forces of humanity across the world must now unite against terrorism. He
added that even those who provide sanctuary to terrorists must not be spared
now.
The Prime Minister said that day is also
observed as the International Day of the Girl Child. Speaking out strongly
against female foeticide, he said we must strive hard to bring an end to such
an evil practice.
