Defence Minister Rajnath Singh lauds security forces for safeguarding nation

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh yesterday said that Pakistan is continuously trying to trouble India, but our Armed Forces successfully thwart the nefarious designs of the neighbor.

Addressing Jawans in Baramulla Cantonment on the first day of his visit to Jammu and Kashmir, the Defence Minister said, Pakistan has its policy of bleeding India with thousands of cuts, but our Security Forces are the protective shield because of which they themselves get cut.

The Minister mentioned that India believes in 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, and has never



attacked or encroached upon any country. He said that the nation is indebted to the services and sacrifices of our security forces for safeguarding our nation.

Earlier, the Minister arrived in Srinagar on a two-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir.

He will travel to forward areas of Union Territory to assess the overall security situation and will be briefed by Senior commanders of the Army. He will visit Jammu today to attend the 200th Anniversary of Maharaja Gulab Singh’s 'Rajyabhishek Ceremony'.
