At a big Gita recitation in Udupi, PM Modi said, "We know how to establish peace and also how to maintain it and safeguard the country," tying the Bhagavad Gita's lessons on peace and strength to India's approach against terrorism.
He pointed out that today's India doesn't stay silent when threatened, referencing recent security operations like Operation Sindoor.
