Hinting at the surgical strike across the LoC, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said Vijaya Dashami this year is "very special" for the country and that very capable armed forces are a must for a strong nation.
Modi, deviating from the earlier practice of the prime ministers taking part at Vijaya Dashami at Ramleela ground in Delhi, will be celebrating Dussehra in Lucknow.
"We will celebrate Vijaya Dashami in the coming days. This year's Dashami is very special for the country," Modi said during a function held at Vigyan Bhavan to release works of BJP ideologue Deendayal Upadhyaya. Modi's loaded statement evoked applause from the audience even as the BJP and Opposition parties are engaged in war of words on politicisation of army action to avenge the killing of 19 soldiers by militants at Uri army base on September 18. Modi quoted Upadhyaya to say that a nation can become strong only when it has an exceptionally strong military. "He (Upadhyaya) used to say that the country's armed forces should be very very capable for a nation to be strong. A nation needs to be strong in this time of competitiveness," Modi said.
