    As PM Modi spoke about Article 370, crowd clapped

    Speaking about Article 370, without explicitly mentioning it, PM Modi said, "India doesn't have a place for anything temporary now. It took 70 years to remove the word temporary." He was referring to temporary provisions of the contentious article which bestowed a special status to Jammu and Kashmir. Earlier this month, his government revoked it and split J&K into two UTs.

    We set goals which were called impossible: PM Modi

    Flaunting what his government achieved, PM Modi said, "I have come to a nation of football lovers, you very well know the importance of a goal, that is the ultimate achievement. In the last 5 years, we set goals which were earlier considered impossible to fulfill." He said the new government didn't spend time in celebrations but got to work instead and took major decisions.

    PM Modi had a special message for Indian community

    Further, he told community that while they are connected to India because of lineage, they have a relationship with France because of their hard work. "I was told that Ganesh Mahotsav has become important part of Paris's cultural calendar. On this day Paris looks like mini India, which means in some days we will hear 'Ganpati Bappa Morya' chants here as well," he added.
