Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that his government has only one religion 'India first'.

"The country can run only within the constitution and law. No one can take law in their hands and discriminate on the grounds of religion," Prime Minister Modi said.

"We believe in Unity. All communities need to unite to fight against terror," he added.

Prime Minister Modi, who was replying to the debate on President Pranab Mukherjee's address in the Lok Sabha, also drew the attention of the parliamentarians to the bomb explosions that rocked Patna's Gandhi Maidan hours before his Hunkar rally in 2013.

"When I was in Patna in 2013, the bomb blasts took place. I had asked then, 'who does a Hindu have to fight with, Muslims or poverty'. Both need to unite to fight against terror," he said.

Five persons were killed and 83 others got injured in multiple blasts that rocked Patna's Gandhi Maidan.

Prime Minister Modi further said colour of the flag does not guide the governance, and added that it is the tricolour that guides our work.
