Peace, development, and justice are all connected to each other. We cannot talk about economic development without talking about peace. How can we expect economic development in a battlefield?

I don't want to see the military falling. I want to see the military rising to dignified heights of professionalism and true patriotism.

Every thought, every word, and every action that adds to the positive and the wholesome is a contribution to peace. Each and every one of us is capable of making such a contribution.

We cannot be caught in the bond of suspicion. We have to carry out what we should be doing with a firm determination.
