Paris: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday made a strong pitch for a permanent seat for India in the UN Security Council, saying it should get it as a “right" for its immense contribution to global peace.

“Those days are gone when India had to beg. Now we want our right. No other country has such moral authority," he said while addressing the Indian community here.

“This is an opportunity to recognise a peace-loving nation like India," he said, asking the UN to reconsider its stand on the issue when it celebrates the 70th anniversary. PTI
