Latest News from New Delhi — On India’s 79th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave a powerful and emotional speech from the Red Fort. He warned that a “conspiracy and well-planned plot” is underway to change the country’s population pattern, calling it a direct threat to India’s unity and security.
A Mission to Protect India’s Population Balance
Modi announced that the government will launch a high-powered demographic mission to fight this challenge.
He said this mission will work with full planning and within a fixed time frame to protect India’s future.
Key steps announced:
- Creation of a Next-Generation Task Force to bring important reforms.
- GST reduction in the coming months — promised as a Diwali gift to citizens.
- Suraksha Kavach (protective shield) for all key places like hospitals, airports, and railways by 2035.
- Launch of a Sudarshan Chakra Mission for advanced national defense.
Illegal Immigration: Modi’s Strong Warning
The Prime Minister spoke firmly about illegal immigrants, saying they are:
- Taking jobs meant for Indian youth.
- Targeting the safety of women and girls.
- Misleading tribal communities and taking their land.
He said that in the border areas, these changes in population create social tension and threaten national unity.
“No country in the world allows itself to be taken over by intruders. If no one else can do it, how can India?” Modi asked.
He reminded the nation that India’s freedom came through great sacrifices, and protecting the country from such threats is the best way to honor the freedom fighters.
Economic Relief for Citizens
In his 103-minute address, Modi focused not just on security, but also on the economy.
- GST Cuts Ahead: Modi promised that GST rates will be brought down soon to reduce the tax burden on ordinary people. This will be a Diwali gift for citizens.
- Massive Job Scheme: Under the ₹1 lakh crore Pradhan Mantri Viksit Bharat Rojgar Yojana, young people hired by private companies will get ₹15,000 from the government. The plan aims to create 3.5 crore jobs.
These announcements came as the country’s macroeconomic indicators remain strong, with growing opportunities in sectors from technology to online marketplaces like Amazon.
Strengthening National Security
Modi also spoke about Operation Sindoor, saying India has set a new standard for fighting terrorism after decades of challenges.
He promised that the government’s security measures, including the Suraksha Kavach and the Sudarshan Chakra Mission, will keep citizens safe in the years to come.
The Prime Minister also mentioned the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh), which is now 100 years old, saying it continues to inspire the nation’s progress.
