Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said there was no place for violence and atrocity in the country and urged terrorists to return to the mainstream.

In his Independence Day speech from the Red Fort, Modi declared that the country won't tolerate violence and terrorism.

"The nation will not bow to Maoism and terrorism," Modi said. "Those who have chosen the path of terrorism achieved nothing. Come to the mainstream and live a peaceful life. Violence never helps anyone."
