And this is the biggest asset of Hindustan."

Giving an example of the Indian cricket team's victory in the T20 World Cup the PM said, "The victory lay in not giving up until the last ball. That is the representation of today's youth. The anecdote is not just limited to the game. Victory is achieved by only those who refuse to give up," he said.
"The real story of winning the World Cup is also the journey of victory. Today's youth of India does not accept defeat till the last ball and the last moment," he said.
He said that the Indian diaspora was the first that he addressed after becoming the PM for the third time last month on the same day. (ANI)
