Defence Minister Rajn𒁏ath 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, Singh sai▨d the government was working to wipe ou🥂t 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 cou🦹ntry is targeted from outside," h𝓀e maintained.
Singh also said that the eastern boundary o𝐆f the country is currently experiencing more peace and stability compared to the wester♛n frontier, with Bangladesh being a friendly neighbour.
&qu👍ot;The t🦋ension 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 bordꦚer (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 gov♛ernment did so whenever the situat꧋ion 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 forౠ imposition of AFSPA, not the Army."
