shah: Misadventures on borders will be met with strong retaliation, Shah warns enemies | India News – Times of India

MARGAO: Union home minister Amit Shah on Thursday sounded a stern warning to India’s enemies against “flirting” with India’s borders stating that every such act will be responded with befitting retaliatory moves by India.
“Earlier, such acts of border incursions would be followed only by talks and pleas, now every provocation will be retaliated by an equal measure,” he said.
He said that the surgical strikes across the Line of Control (Loc) of 2016 changed the way the world looked at India. When India responded to the killings of our jawans in Poonch with surgical strikes across the Line of Control, Shah said, a message was sent across the globe that flirting with India’s borders was now no longer an easy task. “The surgical strikes, for the first time ever, helped restore the honour of the nation’s borders and thus reinforced India’s sovereignty.”
Speaking at the bhoomi-pujan function of the National Forensic Science University at Dharbandora, Shah paid glorious tributes to former Goa chief minister and defence minister Manohar Parrikar stating that the seminal work done by him on the defence front had helped change the world’s outlook towards India.
Shah said that Parrikar would be remembered for a long time to come primarily for two things – one, for the implementation of One-Rank-One-Pension (OROP) for the armed forces, and two, for the 2016 surgical strikes.
“Under Modi’s leadership, Parrrikar gave the gift of OROP to our armed forces. By implementing OROP, Modi-Parrikar in a way acknowledged the tyag, tapasya and balidan of our soldiers who spend the best years of their lives protecting our borders in hostile conditions, in temperatures ranging from -43 degrees C to +43 degrees C. The guardians of our borders have now been fully reassured that their families are being taken care of by the government of India. Modi and Parrikar will be remembered for ages,” Shah said.
