National unity is paramount, and any attempt to harm it will be met with a strong response.â€
Dr. Yadav also drew inspiration from Ujjain's historic legacy, referring to the land of Lord Mahakal and Samrat Vikramaditya, who repelled foreign invaders with unmatched courage over 2000 years ago. “Today, our forces have displayed the same spirit of valor and heroism,†he added.
