NEW DELHI: Violence in the name of faith will not be tolerated. Whether it is the faith based on community, political ideology, individual or tradition, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday in his Mann Ki Baat programme on All India Radio. He further said that those who take the law in their hands or take to violence will not be spared, whoever they are.

Here are some of the excerpts from PM's monthly programme:

- This teachers' day let us pledge that we will teach to transform, educate to empower and learn to lead

- 2 October will mark the 3rd anniversary of Swachh Bharat Mission. More than 2 lakh 30 thousand villages declared ODF

- We welcome all the teams coming here for the FIFA Under-17 World Cup.

- Playing in field over play stations, play sports on the computer but go out and play first

- Volunteers of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind cleaned 22 temples and 3 mosques which were affected by flood in Gujarat's Dhanera.

- 'Swachhata Hi Seva', let us all start a movement around this in build up to Gandhi Jayanti & put renewed focus on cleanliness.

- Happy that festivals like Ganesh Utsav are being celebrated keeping the environment in mind. 

This is the 35th edition of the monthly radio address. It will be broadcast on the entire network of All India Radio and Doordarshan.
