Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday said that India is strong enough to hit her enemies across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir. He also said that “Ram Rajya” is now becoming a reality in the country, and nobody can stop it. “We’ve the power to strike at our enemy from our soil across the LoC too. We proved our strength after the 2016 terror attack in Uri,” Mr. Singh said while addressing a BJP rally in Kathua district to seek the vote for his cabinet colleague and party candidate Jitendra Singh. Kathua district is part of the Udhampur Lok Sabha constituency which is going to polls in the first phase on April 19.
The defence minister said that India has developed as the world’s strongest country on all fronts under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He reiterated, “We’ve the power to strike at our enemy outside the LoC and also in the enemy’s own territory across the LoC. We proved our strength through the surgical strike on September 28, 2016.
India is touching new heights. Our military might and strength are considered as being the world’s best.”
He said that on the economic front too, the world acknowledges that India is moving ahead to become the third largest global economy. “Under the leadership of PM Modiji, India’s image has augmented to the extent that the world listens carefully to what we are saying unlike in the past when nobody was taking us seriously”. Presenting a “glowing” report card of Prime Minister Mr. Modi’s ten years in power, the defence minister said, “We finished Article 370 to bring Jammu and Kashmir at par with other parts of the country. Mehbooba (Mufti) once threatened that if Article 370 was gone, Jammu and Kashmir mein khoon ki nadiyan behengi. But let me assure you, it is not khoon ki nadiyan (streams of blood), but the streams of milk and water along with the development and prosperity that are flowing and will continue to flow J&K.”
