Navy veterans thanked PM Modi

After returning back from Qatar, the ex-Navy personnels expressed themselves in front of media. One of the Navy veterans who returned from Qatar says, “We are very happy that we are back in India, safely. Definitely, we would like to thank PM Modi, as this was only possible because of his personal intervention…”

Other veteran said, “It wouldn’t have been possible for us to stand here without the intervention of PM Modi. And it also happened due to the continuous efforts of the Government of India.”

The veterans had waited for almost 18 months for this day. All of them are grateful to Prime Minister Modi as it would not have been possible without his personal intervention. Another one of the seven expressed himself and stated, “We waited almost for 18 months to be back in India. We are extremely grateful to the PM. It wouldn’t have been possible without his personal intervention and his equation with Qatar. We are grateful to the Government of India from the bottom of our hearts for every effort that has been made and this day won’t have been possible without those efforts.”

It is a day of relief for India and Indian Navy since one of the most promising veterans of Indian Navy are back on their land.
