Digital Desk : On Saturday, Rajnath Singh asserted that India will not hesitate to take action against terrorists crossing the border.

At a felicitation ceremony for veterans of the 1971 India-Pakistan War, Mr Singh said the government was working to wipe out terrorism in the country.

He said India has succeeded in sending out the message that terrorism will be strongly dealt with. We will not hesitate to cross borders if the country is attacked from outside.

Mr Singh also said that the eastern boundary of the country is currently experiencing more peace and stability compared to the western frontier, with Bangladesh being a friendly neighbour.

"The tension that India experiences on western frontier does not exist along eastern boundary as Bangladesh is a friendly country," he noted.

"The problem of infiltration has almost ended. There is peace and stability at the border (in the eastern frontier) now," the minister said.

According to the defence minister, whenever the situation improved, the government removed the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from various areas in the northeast.

According to Singh, there is a "public misconception" that the Army has always wanted AFSPA to be in force. "The imposition of AFSPA is a consequence of the situation, not the Army," he said.
