๊ฆ Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi was instrumental in the evacuation of Indian students from war-torn Ukraine.
๐โPM Modi spoke to (Russian President Vladimir) Putin and (Ukraine president Volodymyr) Zelensky. He also spoke to (US President Joe) Biden when needed. The war stopped briefly and Indian students in Ukraine could return home,โ Singh said.
โโPM Modi did what no other country was able to do,โ the senior BJP leader said while addressing the Veer Shiromani Maharana Pratap Maha Sammelan here.
๐ฆนSingh spoke of the valour and sacrifice of Maharana Pratap and the battle of Haldighati. โMaharana Pratap ate rotis made of grass but never compromised with self-respect,โ he added.
๐ณโIf you understand his dedication, then you will call his times as Maharana kal (era) and not as Mughal era,โ Singh said.
๐ฏโBe it Haldighati or Galwan Valley, Indiaโs head has always been held high and will remain so,โ the minister said.
๐Singh said under Modi as PM, Indiaโs weapons exports, which were Rs 900 crore in 2014, were over Rs 16,000 crore now.
