Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Central government’s zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism would continue in the times to come, said Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Hyderabad on Sunday, 12 March.
“Separatism, terrorism, and anti-national activities in any part of the country will be dealt with firmly,” he said while speaking at the 54th Raising Day Parade of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).
Stating that the NDA government had successfully tackled internal security challenges in the last nine years, Shah affirmed that violence was coming down substantially in Kashmir, while insurgency in the Northeast and Left Wing Extremism-affected areas had also reduced and the people’s confidence is increasing.
He said the number of people involved in terror activities was declining and many were laying down arms and joining the mainstream.
