In the wake of the Congress party, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee and a few other political parties making inappropriate comments at a time when there are hostilities between India and Pakistan, Narendra Modi today said in Kanyakumari that some political parties are hating the country because they hate Modi.

"A few parties, guided by Modi hatred, have started hating India. No wonder, while the entire nation supports our armed forces, they suspect the armed forces. The world is supporting India’s fight against terror but a few parties suspect our fight against terror. These are the same people whose statements are helping Pakistan and harming India. They are the same people whose statements are being happily quoted in Parliament of Pakistan and in the radio of that country. I want to ask them- do you support our armed forces or suspect them?" Modi said.

He saluted the military for its brave responses after the Uri attack in 2017 and the recent Pulwama carnage.
