New Delhi [India], July 21 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday appreciated the collective efforts of various political parties and their representatives in 'exposing' Pakistan on the global stage following the Pahalgam terror attack, calling it an example of 'national unity' beyond party lines.

Addressing the mediapersons, the Prime Minister stated that all-party delegation visits to multiple countries have created a positive atmosphere in the country.

The Prime Minister said, 'The brutal atrocities and the massacre in Pahalgam have shaken the entire world. Keeping party interests aside, in the interest of the country, representatives of most of our parties, went to many countries of the world and in one voice, ran a very successful campaign to expose Pakistan before the world. I want to appreciate all those MPs, I want to appreciate all the parties for this important work done in the national interest and this has created a positive atmosphere in the country...'

'The country has seen the power of unity. So all the MPs in the House, give it strength, take it forward and I will definitely say that every political party has its own agenda, its own role, but I accept this reality that 'Dal hit mein mat bhale na mile lekin desh hit mein mann jarur mile'...' the PM stated.

Highlighting the nation's economic progress, Prime Minister Modi asserted that 25 crore poor people have come out of poverty in the last decade.

He said, 'There was a time in the country before 2014 when the inflation rate was in double digits. Today, with the rate dropping to around two per cent, it has become a relief and a convenience in the lives of the common people in the country. 25 crore poor people have come out of poverty, which is being appreciated by many institutions of the world...'

Praising the efforts of the Indian security forces to eradicate Naxalism from roots, Prime Minister Modi said that the red corridor areas have now transformed into 'green growth zones.'

PM Modi said, 'Today, our security forces with a new self-confidence and resolve to end naxalism are progressing forward. Many districts are free of naxalism today. We are proud that the Indian constitution is emerging victorious against naxalism. The 'red corridors' are transforming into 'green growth zones'.'
