Use of technology for land border and coastal security imperative:Rajnath

Porbandar/Nadabet:

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today said that use of technology for the security of land and coastal boundaries of the country was imperative.

Mr Singh who was in Gujarat on a two day visit to dedicate certain state-of-the-art health facilities to a BSF camp in Nadabet near the Pakistan border and to participate in the BJP Vikas Parv Sammelan in Porbandar today also claimed that the incidents of terrorism in the country have decreased. The country was capable of dealing with the menace.

He said that security men were on the borders in adequate numbers but the use of technology was also very necessary to aid them. The government was working on many such projects so that the pride of the country is never hurt.

Talking about Pakistan he said that India never starts the firing on the border. It only retaliates whenever provoked by uncalled for firing from across the border. He, however, said that it should always be kept in mind that one can’t change its neighbours.

Mr. Singh said that India’s claim for membership of the all important Nuclear Security Group (NSG) has strengthened.

The Home Minister also went to Kirti Mandir, the birth place of Gandhji, in Porbandar during his visit and in an interaction with media persons there he said that the Narendra Modi government was working towards fulfilling the dreams of ‘Gram Swaraj’ of Gandhiji. He said that for the welfare of the humanity the world must tread the path shown by the great leader.

During the Vikas Parv Sammelan of the party being held to celebrate the successful completion of the BJP government at the center and Gujarat, state president of the party Vijay Rupani, Gujarat Minister Babubhai Bhokhiriya, minister of state Jasabhai Barad, Porbandar district BJP in-charge Bharatbhai Gajipara were also present.
