Public meeting in Kozhikode was memorable, says Modi

"Thank you Kozhikode. The public meeting today was memorable. Here are some pictures," Modi tweeted.

Describing Pakistan as the only country "exporting terrorism"  across the world, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said India will never forget the Uri terror attack in which 18 soldiers were martyred.

Addressing his first public rally after the Uri attack, the PM launched a scathing attack on Pakistan for aiding militancy and sought to take the fight against terrorism to the door of the neighbouring country, saying a day will come when its people will go against its own Government.

"One nation in Asia indulges in terrorism. Pakistan is the only country exporting terrorism across the world...not only India, everywhere," Modi said.

"Terrorist have killed 18 of our soldiers in Uri. I want to tell them  that India will never forget this...India never did and never will cow  down before terrorism," he said.

The Prime Minister said though the Pak terrorists have been successful in carrying the Uri attack, Indian troops have frustrated their infiltration bid from across the border at least 17 times in the past few month, killing 110 terrorists.

"Our vigilant and brave soldiers have beaten them back every time...won't forget their sacrifices."

Modi said terrorism is humanity's "enemy" and all countries need to put up a united fight against it.

He said India has been successful in isolating Pakistan, and will intensify "so that you are completely isolated."

"A day will come when people of Pakistan will go against its own Govt to fight terrorism," he said.

"I want to tell Pak people, India is ready to fight you. If you have strength, come forward to fight against poverty... Iwant to inform Pakistan that before 1947 even your leaders used to salute this land," he said.

"I call upon people of Pakistan to come forward,fight a war on who defeats unemployment, poverty, illiteracy first. Lets see who wins," Modi said.

Ridiculing Pakistan for its perennial rants over Kashmir, the PM said it all is being done by a country which has failed to handle situation in PoK,Gilgit, Balochisrtan and Pakhtunistan.
