Central agencies, all the States must sit together for chalking out the strategy to ensure the internal security of the country, and to define the agenda to achieve the goal.

In a strong appeal to the P.M.

Terrorists’ forces are targeting the economic strength and economic hubs of the nations, considering the seriousness and graveness of the crisis, a battle strategy needs to be chalked out to face the proxy war.
