In his Mann Ki Baat address on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that there is a common conception among people about when will 2020 end. They are of the belief that this year has been full of challenges. However, they should remember that our history is filled with instances where the country has emerged stronger after challenges. It is his firm belief and confidence that India will achieve new heights in 2020.

On the India China border issue, PM Modi said that the world has witnessed India’s commitment to protect its border and sovereignty. Those who sought to acquire Indian territory in Ladakh, were given a befitting reply. The country bows to the brave martys and their families. The families, who lost their children, still want to send their other children to the borders. Our true tribute to those families will be becoming Atmanirbhar (Self reliant).
