New Delhi: On the eve of the second anniversary of the surgical strikes, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh has said something big has happened in the past two days.
He said this in context of the killing of a Border Security Force (BSF) jawan along the Line of Control (LoC) by Pakistan troops.
On Friday, Rajnath Singh indicated that Indian forces may have hit Pakistani targets across the border to avenge the brutal killing of a BSF jawan by the Pakistanis.
“Something has happened, I won’t disclose it now. Whatever has happened, has happened for the good. Trust me, something big has happened two-three days ago. And you will also see what happens in future,” Rajnath said referring to the killing of Narendra Singh.
“Our neighbouring country Pakistan keeps fostering unrest. It doesn’t refrain from its nefarious activities. People often raise how they mistreat our Border Security Force jawans. You might have seen something… something has happened, I won’t say what. It has happened, it has gone alright. You can believe us, it has been alright – just two-three days ago. Some people know. And you will see ahead, what happens,” the Home Minister said cryptically at an event in Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar today, but did not elaborate.
“I have told the Border Security Force, they are our neighbours, don’t fire the first bullet. But if they fire the first one, don’t count how many you fire back,” he added.
Earlier this week, Army General Bipin Rawat had said he believed it was time for another surgical strike. “I believe there is a need for one more action (surgical strike). But I would not want to disclose how we want to do it,” he had told India Today in an interview.
General Rawat had also said infiltration from across the LoC persisted despite the call for a ceasefire, and stressed that this cannot be allowed to continue and appropriate action has to be taken to deter terrorists from disrupting peace in Jammu and Kashmir.
