Extract

I am extremely happy to be in your midst today. What is happening on the border is the concern of everybody today—irrespective of where he lives or whatever be his occupation. It is your responsibility to defend the borders—and it is a serious responsibility because you have to put your lives on stake. This is the time to fulfil your duty towards your motherland. I congratulate the brave officers and soldiers of the army who are defending our borders with such valor and bravery. During the last 54 years of our freedom, we have had to face many invasions, and each time the enemy was given a befitting reply. No enemy effort to capture our land, disrupt our democracy or create internal dissension has ever succeeded.
