Face of Nation : In an apparent reference to UN General Assembly speeches by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart Imran Khan, Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday said while one was about peace and welfare, the other was about hatred and violence.
Referring to the speeches by India and Pakistan prime ministers — but naming neither — at UNGA on Friday, Mr Naidu said, “We listened to the speeches in the United Nations General Assembly. One was about peace, progress and welfare, while the other was about hatred and violence. The choice is before the world.”
“The time has come to pay attention and isolate as soon as possible those who push terrorism. Then only there can be peace,” he said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday addressed the 74th session of the UN General Assembly exhorting the international community to stand united against terrorism.
The vice president also said that a new India was taking shape and youths today are capable of converting challenges into opportunities.
He said that because of its glorious tradition and spiritual value system, India has never attacked any country but always practised and taught peace, love, tolerance, unity and universal brotherhood to the mankind.
