"Won't Hesitate To Cross Borders If...": Rajnath Singh Warns Terrorists

[Zarvan]

Rajnath Singh said India has been successful in dealing with terrorism strongly

Guwahati:
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday asserted that India would not hesitate to act against terrorists who target the country from across the border.

Speaking at a programme, where Assam-based veterans of 1971 India-Pakistan War were felicitated, Mr Singh said the government was working to wipe out terrorism from the country.

"India has been successful in giving out the message that terrorism will be strongly dealt with. We will not hesitate to cross borders if the country is targeted from outside," he maintained.

Mr Singh also said that the eastern boundary of the country is currently experiencing more peace and stability compared to the western frontier, with Bangladesh being a friendly neighbour.

"The tension that India experiences on western frontier does not exist along eastern boundary as Bangladesh is a friendly country," he noted.



"The problem of infiltration has almost ended. There is peace and stability at the border (in the eastern frontier) now," the minister said.

On the recent withdrawal of Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from different parts of northeast, the defence minister stated that the government did so whenever the situation in a place improved.





Maintaining that there was a "public misconception" that the Army always wanted AFSPA to remain in force, Singh added, "It is the situation that is responsible for imposition of AFSPA, not the Army."

Rajnath getting mad. It seems news of 15 CISF recently getting killed and India announcing only 5 injuries was true.

Don't hesitate, do it and face consequences of it and give us meme material for more years
I wish Bajwa goes and they open up the border again- so many will go like no tomorrow

India's biggest delusion is that it is Israel or something much more potent. It isn't and the neighbour it seeks to subdue is born to fight and give more than a bloody nose

I am also fed up of Indians talking BS and claiming we would do this and that and then they do nothing. Right now on twitter I am debating with one such Indian

They have regathered their confidence with Sharif in power

Sharif isn't the one holding the rifle and manning the border. Let's also not mix our domestic politics with external threats.

Welcoming committee is ready.
With tea or coffee, both fantastic.

Our establishment has given them this confidence

The way we threw kashmiri militancy under the bus after India's action of 5 August 2019 that gave them this confidence

The way we implemented ceasefire on LoC while India was under pressure from China gave them this conference

I don't find anything wrong with their confidence. There are strong reasons for that confidence

This is a rather simplistic reduction to pin the blame on the "Establishment". It is also quite interesting that you left out IK/PTI (and I would also add the other past governments) in this critique when India/Kashmir policy was the bedrock of the PTI government as evinced by their campaign to highlight the Kashmir cause.

I should say I don't pay too much heed to these Indian statements for local consumption as they come up from time to time including all of the past 3+ years when the PTI government was in power. What worries me more is how easily we point fingers at our own for things that are extremely complex and have remained elusive to solve for 7 decades.

Please come with an American Letter in hand when you cross the border.... Our COAS's legs will be shaking in his pants and will make sure beggars do not harm any invading Indian soldiers....





Jai hind.

Welcoming committee is ready.
With tea or coffee, both fantastic.

Not with Pakistani Gadaars in power..... They will not want to risk their properties in London at risk.

The illusion of Pakistani military defence is broken... It's just a DHA committee now.
