PM Modi’s message to China from Ladakh: This is the age of development, not expansion
PM Modi addressed Indian soldiers in Ladakh in a surprise visit. Without naming the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a clear message to China calling out its salami-slicing policy of territorial expansion. Addressing soldiers at one of the forward positions in Nemu sector of Leh in Ladakh, PM Modi said, “The age of expansionism is over. The world has moved on the path of development. The expansionist forces have ruined the world in the last century.”
PM Modi’s reference to the age of expansionism ending with the 20th century is a clear message to China to stop eyeing Indian territories. He also said, “Peace can never be brought by the weak. Power is the condition to bring peace. India is widening its power on land, air and water and this is for the welfare of mankind.”
