Ever since taking over as Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has emphasised on ending the VIP culture, which has plagued the nation for decades. Through his powerful words and actions, he has shown that all citizens are equal and that there is no room for any differentiation in the country.
PM Modi said that in the New India, it is EPI (Every Person is Important) and not VIP that is the guiding principle.
He elaborated on this during the 50th Raising Day programme of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) on 10th March 2019 in Ghaziabad.
A candid PM Modi recalled an incident from the days when he worked with the BJP Organisation and how he cooled down the temper of a party colleague who was checked by the CISF personnel at an airport.
He complimented the CISF personnel and said that despite any pressure, they should do their duty and protect the nation.
PM Modi also said that it is the political leaders who are the biggest hindrances to the CISF personnel doing their duty.
This part of the speech drew a rapturous applause from the audience.
