PM Modi slams China's expansionist designs in speech to troops guarding the border

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday slammed China, saying expansionism was a mental disorder reflecting the thinking of centuries gone by.

“Today, the whole world is troubled by expansionist forces. Expansionism is, in a way, a mental disorder and reflects 18th-century thinking. India is also becoming a strong voice against this thinking," the prime minister said in a speech to Indian troops at the Longewala post in Rajasthan.

Despite the fact that Modi didn't name China, who his message was coordinated towards couldn't have been in question given that India and China are secured an eyeball-to-eyeball showdown along the outskirt in eastern Ladakh. Pressures have been intense since May when India originally saw interruptions by Chinese fighters into India. 

Modi additionally had a directive for Pakistan. 

India is in safe hands simply because the nation's military have the solidarity to face psychological oppression and



other enemy of public forces, he said. 

"The whole world, particularly those nations who advance illegal intimidation, has seen that Indian powers can enter different nations and slaughter fear based oppressors," he said. The reference was to two strikes by India inside the domain held by Pakistan in 2016 and 2019 because of fear-based oppressor assaults in Kashmir. 

Modi additionally expressed gratitude toward the groups of the officers sent along the fringe in the celebration season. "I bow before the groups of the officers," he said in accolade for the families.

“In 2014, I celebrated Diwali at Siachen. Many people were surprised. But you know me, I am always with my own people during festivals. And I have continued with that tradition even this year," Modi said.

The Longewala post is a strategic post on the western border where the first major battle of the 1971 India-Pakistan War, known as the Battle of Longewala, was fought.
