HOME MINISTER HONOURED AT ‘HOME’
LUCKNOW: Union home minister Rajnath Singh said here on Sunday that India was not afraid of Pakistan. He said India not only had potential to tame its enemies on its own territory but had shown that it could eliminate its enemies on the other side of the border as well.
Speaking at a meeting of ‘Bharatiya Railway Maal Godaam Shramik Sangh here , Singh said, “India wants to maintain good relations with all its neighbours. But Pakistan is making it difficult as it is continuing with its mischief. A few months ago, Pakistan, in an act of cowardice, attacked and martyred 17 of our jawans. Prime Minister Narendra Modi consulted all of us on this serious issue and the Indian Army entered the Pakistani area and killed the militants.”
“India’s image in the world has become that of a strong nation and we have given a strong message to the global community that we can attack our enemies not only on our soil, but also in their territory. India has developed this power,” he said.
Singh assured that the Government of India under PM Narendra Modi’s leadership would not let the country bow its head. He said that under Prime Minister Modi, the country’s economy was also moving ahead at a fast pace. “The ‘railway maal godaam shramik’ have, for the past few generations, been sweating and giving the Railways a good income. However, despite this, they do not have any identification card, nor do they get any treatment facility in any of the Railway hospitals,” said Rajnath.
He said he would take up the issues and problems of the labourers in the railway sector with their representatives and the railway minister.
