Everybody Is Proud Of Their Ideology: PM Narendra Modi unveil the Statue of swami Vivekanand. PM Modi addresses students and staff of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU)
During his address to Jawaharlal Nehru University after unveiling a statue of Swami Vivekananda on the campus in south Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today called for not making ideology come in the way of national interest during his address to Jawaharlal Nehru University after unveiling a statue of Swami Vivekananda on the campus in south Delhi.
“Everybody is proud of their ideology and this is natural. But our ideology should be seen standing with the nation and not against it in matters of national interest,” PM Modi said in a video address.
He spoke of the struggle for independence and the fight against the Emergency to highlight how people with different ideological thinking came together for “national interest” but without compromising their ideologies.
“When the question is about national integrity and interest, then taking a decision under the burden of one’s ideology harms the nation,” PM Modi said. “It is wrong to believe that one will think and act in a certain framework in matters of national interest solely because this is what one’s ideology says,” he said.

Left-backed student parties have been traditionally strong in JNU. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s student’s wing ABVP has also been trying to gain influence in JNU’s student body.
