Jammu, Jun 19: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national general secretary and Jammu and Kashmir in-charge Tarun Chugh on Thursday said India has safely brought back its citizens caught in conflict situations in various countries with dignity under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He said PM Modi has made it clear to the world, particularly US President Donald Trump, that there will be no third-party mediation in India’s internal matters.
Modi on Wednesday spoke with Trump and set the record straight that Operation Sindoor was “paused” following a request from Pakistan and not due to any mediation or offer of a trade deal by the US. “This is truly a golden age. Whether it was in Nepal, the Middle East, the Russia-Ukraine war or the Iran-Israel conflict, India has safely brought back its citizens with dignity and protection,” Chugh told reporters here.
Praising the PM for ensuring the safety of every Indian abroad, he said, “I thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, who has ensured the safety of every Indian, no matter where they are in the world. Even now, Indians are being evacuated from ongoing war zones. This is a moment of great pride.”
Chugh was replying to a question about students being brought safely from Iran. “Whenever there was a problem faced by Indians in the world, Prime Minister Modi brought every Indian with bravery from the conflict areas. Whether it is Operation Ganga or the Middle East or people caught in Nepal’s earthquake devastation or these wars, every Indian was brought back to our country,” he said.
He said today, India’s glory and strength are being recognised across the world. “Our economy, which was struggling at the 14th position, has now risen significantly. I am proud to say that India is the fastest-growing economy in the world,” he said.
Replying to another question about the prime minister’s talks with Trump, he said, “Modi ji clearly told the world, particularly the president of the United States, that a third power, third person or another country will not intervene in our issue. We have not forgotten Operation Sindoor, nor will we let the world forget it. He made it clear that there will be no third-party mediation.”
The BJP leader said protecting Indian citizens and eliminating terror hideouts remain India’s firm resolve. “After Pakistan’s repeated distress calls following our assault on their terror infrastructure, India restrained itself but Operation Sindoor is still ongoing,” he said.
He said the Indian armed forces will hit every terror setup, wherever it is in Pakistan. “Over 100 terrorists have been eliminated in Operation Sindoor. It is a valour of forces.”
