Following air strikes by the Indian Air Force deep into the Pakistani territory, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a rally in Churu, Rajasthan on Tuesday (26 February), wherein he assured Indians that the nation is in safe hands, DD News has reported.

While addressing the rally, PM Modi also invoked a famous couplet from his poem which goes:

Saugandh Mujhe Is Mitti Ke, Main Desh Nahin Mitne Dunga

Main Desh Nahin Rukne Dunga, Main Desh Nahin Jhukne Dunga

The speech by Modi was well received by the crowd, which didn’t shy away from expressing jubilation. Modi also added that there is nothing bigger than India and saluted everyone working towards its development.
