It is necessary to ensure that nothing is done to dent the morale of the security forces, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday, a day after Pakistani fighter jets violated Indian air space in response to Indian forces targeting a Jaish-e-Mohammed terror camp in its territory.

Modi said nobody can create hurdles in India’s march towards development. The country “will fight as one, will live as one, will work as one, will grow as one and will win as one”.

'The enemy is trying to destabilise us, carry out terror strikes... they want to stop our growth... we will fight, live work and win as one,' he said.

The Prime Minister was interacting with about one crore BJP workers in 15,000 locations through what the party said was the 'world's largest video conference'.

“The youth of India are filled with enthusiasm today. From the country’s farmers to the country’s soldiers, everyone now believes that the impossible is possible,” he said.

Modi hailed the “heroic” jawans and said the entire nation stands with them. “India is going to achieve even more strength and development in the times to come,” he said.

Modi said in his address that the 2014 election was a mandate for fulfilling people's necessities and the 2019 polls would be about fulfilling people's aspirations.

Indians have to be hard working in all spheres and should be grateful to all those who are protecting the country, the Prime Minister said.

Some people, for their selfish interests, dislike a strong government, he said, adding that BJP workers need to tell people about the benefits of a strong government.
