Enough is enough, we can’t suffer terror till eternity: PM
ghaziabad — Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday sent across a strong message to terrorist forces targeting India, saying the country cannot keep suffering forever and that his government has taken some “strong decisions” against such elements.
“For many decades, the country and numerous families have suffered the wounds and pain given by terrorism, Naxalism and insurgency. What happened in Pulwama and Uri was heartbreaking. We cannot bear this pain till eternity. Enough is enough,” the prime minister said while addressing CISF personnel at its base here.
The paramilitary force on Sunday is celebrating the 50th year of its raising. This is the first time Modi attended the event of any of the five Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) since he took charge in 2014. Raised in 1969, the Central Industrial Security Force has about 156,000 personnel in its ranks at present.
The PM said that following dastardly acts of terrorist violence, his government has taken some strong decisions, in an apparent reference to the IAF strike on terror camps after the Pulwama attack.
“Someone, sometime, has to take a big decision (against such terror acts)...it is my privilege that with the support of the crores of people of this country, we took some strong decisions,” Modi said with the top security officers in attendance.
He said the government has adopted “a new policy” to act against terrorism and that it was its responsibility to live up to the expectations of the families of the personnel killed in the line of duty. —
