Nation must stand united behind armed forces: Vikramaditya

Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Vikramaditya Singh today supported the Central Government and the Indian armed forces in countering cross-border terrorism sponsored by Pakistan. He urged people for national unity by rising above party lines during such crucial moments for the country’s internal security and sovereignty.

Vikramaditya said, “Under such situations, it becomes the duty of every citizen to stand with the armed forces. Whenever issues arise that involve national unity, integrity and internal security, it becomes the duty of every citizen, regardless of political ideology or party affiliation, to stand firmly behind our armed forces. We are Indians first and we will continue to stand united with our security forces.”

He said, “The way our agencies and armed forces have acted over the past few days and the way our missiles have destroyed terrorist hideouts in the PoK and Pakistan, including those of Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, is commendable. The whole country is with them. This sends a strong message to the world that India will not tolerate terrorism at any cost.”

He praised the constructive role played by the Opposition during the time of crisis and standing united.
