Shivraj said, under the leadership of prime minister Narendra Modi, our resolve is that we will take a breath of peace only after eradicating terrorism from its roots. Yesterday, a cabinet meeting was held under the chairmanship of prime minister Narendra Modi. india has risen from the fifth position in the global economy to become the fourth-largest economy. On the other hand, a massive campaign is also underway to destroy the terrorists who wiped the sindoor from the maang of our daughters. The bases of such terrorists and their masterminds have been destroyed.
We are proud of our army, the bravery of the army...
Union minister Shivraj Singh said that all our colleagues in the agriculture department are committed, and we stand behind prime minister Narendra Modi. We are proud of our army, the bravery of the army, our soldiers, and all the colleagues engaged in the operation. Operation Sindoor is a message that no one will be allowed to look at india with raised eyebrows. If needed, till the last drop of blood, we will not let the country's honor, respect, and pride be tampered with at any cost.
Indus water will be used for agriculture, electricity, and development.
Chouhan said that the Indus Water Treaty, which was signed in the year 1960, was a historical mistake. It was the misfortune of the country and the farmers that 80 percent of the water of the rivers flowing through our country was given to pakistan, therefore, the Indus Water Treaty has been cancelled after the pahalgam terrorist incident. Our farmers have the right over the water of the indus river, every drop will be used in agriculture, electricity, and development.
Production will increase, and crops will be ready 20 days earlier.
Shivraj Singh said that farmers of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, and Himachal Pradesh will be able to get more water for irrigation. Today, we have filled the granaries of food grains with the hard work of the farmers. Production is increasing continuously. I would like to congratulate our scientists. Right now, we have developed two varieties of rice, which will increase production, crops will be ready 20 days earlier, water will be saved, methane gas emission will be reduced, and soon these varieties will be made available to the farmers. After 2014, our scientists have developed 2,900 new varieties.
