AMARAVATI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Wednesday said ‘India First’ was the simple mantra guiding his Government’s foreign policy as it went about setting the global narrative on several issues.
He also said the cross-LoC surgical strikes targeting terror launch pads in Pakistan two years ago showcased the country’s ability to deal with terrorism “in a language the terrorists understand”.
Modi reaffirmed his promise of bringing back black money stashed in tax havens and to punish those who had it.
Addressing BJP workers in different towns of Andhra Pradesh through the NaMo App, the Prime Minister noted that India emerged as a global leader because of the 130 crore people of the country.
“Our foreign policy is based on the simple mantra of India First. Forget being left out of the global narrative, India is now setting the global narrative on several issues.
“It’s not because of me. It is due to each and everyone of the country who elected a Government with full majority. It is the nation and people’s interests that are dictating India’s foreign policy,” Modi said, responding to a question by a party worker of Narsapuram. (AGENCIES)
