The era when anyone could encroach on India’s land has passed and no one can dare to eye its border, Home Minister Amit Shah said on Monday.
Launching the Vibrant Villages programme in the border village of Kibithoo in Arunachal Pradesh, India’s easternmost place, Shah said the valour of army and ITBP personnel ensures that no one can encroach even an inch of India’s land.
He said border areas are the top priority of the Modi Government, pointing to the infrastructure and other development works carried out in the Northeast.
The entire country can sleep peacefully in their homes today because our ITBP jawans & Army is working day & night on our borders. Today, we can proudly say that no one has the power to cast an evil eye on us, Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Kibithoo, Arunachal Pradesh was quoted as saying ANI
Meanwhile , China criticised Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to Arunachal Pradesh, stating that it violated Chinese sovereignty over the area, days after India slammed Beijing’s move to rename some places in the border state in an attempt to stake its claim over the area.
