Kozhikode is preferred as the place for our Prime Minister Narendra Modi to open his mind about the terror attack in Uri and the aftermath of the attack saw the Modi at his belligerent to attack our old enemy through his lengthy speech. The Kerala city has a historical importance as Vasco-da-Gama entered India through the Kapad beach there and the place became an entry point for the European countries to enter the country. Now, Modi’s first public speech after the terror attack in Uri did not disappoint in the sharpness of its message to Pakistan. He invoked the people of Pakistan in a direct dialogue, urging them to fight common socio-economic ills that afflict both neighbours, while warning that country’s leadership that any threat to India’s security will strongly met. Pakistan is at the receiving end from its own people and the cowardly attack on Uri all adds up to the fury and even UN questioned the terror strike in a critical way. Our neighbouring nation is feeling the heat and if they continue to do so then the country will meet its own end and die a natural death as already Balochistan and other places have voiced their protest against the terror linked State.
