VP Jagdeep Dhankar speaks at the inaugural session of the Rajya Sabha Internship Programme in New Delhi yesterday

Vice-President and Chairman Rajya Sabha, Jagdeep Dhankhar, has said, for national security, we need indigenous strength and war is best avoided from a position of strength. Mr Dhankhad said, peace is secured when you are ever ready for war, and strength comes not only from technological prowess, conventional arms strength, but also from people. 

Speaking at the inaugural session of the Rajya Sabha Internship Programme in New Delhi yesterday, Mr Dhankhar highlighted that Operation Sindoor has changed our mindset massively. He said, we



are now nationalistic as never before. He added that, having seen recent events, we have no other option but to remain united and grow stronger. The Vice President said, like institutions, even political tribes have a moral duty to the national cause, adding that ultimately.

He appealed to everyone in the political spectrum to seriously reflect, come to a conclusion that on issues of national security, on issues of growth, on issues of internal security, there must be a consensus.
