Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar has said that there is no power on the planet to dictate India how to handle its affairs. Addressing the officer trainees of Indian Defence Estates Service (IDES) 2024 batch at the Vice-President’s Enclave, Mr. Dhankhar stated that all decisions in this country, a sovereign nation, are taken by its leadership. Mr. Dhankhar underlined that there will be challenges and including the attempt to create divisiveness.
 
He said that country’s demographic dividend is a global envy as 65 percent of its population is below 35 years of age. The Vice President added that the country is marching in the direction of Viksit Bharat. Praising India for its calibrated decision to not attack civilians and only target terror infrastructre during Operation Sindoor, the Vice President said that India believes in peace and non-violence. Mr Dhankhar said that India taught a lesson to terror perpetrators by targeting Bahawalpur and Muridke in Pakistan.
