In a conversation with IANS, Sudarsan Pattnaik stated, “The nation has achieved considerable advancements under the Prime Minister’s guidance.

He referenced 'Operation Sindoor' as proof that India not only speaks but also acts decisively when required. Pattnaik continued, stating that over the past eleven years, India has responded robustly to Pakistan, making it clear that the nation no longer tolerates terrorism.

These reflections from Padma Shri awardee Sudarsan Pattnaik resonate with the feelings of countless artists and ordinary citizens who feel motivated by the policies and vision presented by PM Modi.
