Highlights PM Modi, in US, spoke about three years of his government

Surgical strikes proved India can defend its sovereignty if needed: PM

PM Modi also praised External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj in US

Here are the top 5 quotes from his address:

For the first time, not one nation in the world raised a single question, about India's major step to conduct surgical strikes against terror camps on Pakistani soil. Surgical strikes proved that India, which normally follows restraint, can also defend its sovereignty if needed. In the last three years, there has not been a single stain on my government. Our foreign ministry, in particular our foreign minister Sushma Swaraj, has shown the way in helping people. Anyone in trouble tweets to her and she promptly takes action. Governments in India have failed and fallen due to corruption and cheating. People of India do not like corruption.
