Subramanian Swamy takes swipe at Amit Shah’s ‘Indian borders safe’ statement

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday had stated that the time has passed when anyone could trespass on India’s territory, and now no one dares to even look at its border.

This seems to have irked the Senior BJP leader and former Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy who on Tuesday took swipe at Amit Shah.

In reference to the headline of a news article citing Amit Shah’s statement, Swamy wrote: “Today’s The Hindu headlines Amit Shah stating “Indian Borders are safe; can’t be violated”. He terms it as a blatant lie or his Himalayan ignorance. He also blatantly alleged that Amit Shah does not deserve to be Home Minister. Or better he work on the illegal dual citizenship of Bambino.

Whereas Amit Shah on Monday merely said that the time has passed when anyone could trespass on India’s territory, and now no one dares to even look at its border.

Launching the Vibrant Villages programme in the border village of Kibithoo in Arunachal Pradesh, India’s easternmost place, Shah had said the valour of army and ITBP personnel ensures that no one can encroach even an inch of India’s land, adding that Border areas are the top priority of the Modi Government pointing to the infrastructure and other development works carried out in the Northeast.

He further added that the era is gone when anyone could encroach on our lands. Now, not even land equal to ‘sui ki nook’ (inch of land) can be encroached.

Paying homage to the martyrs of Kibithoo who laid down their lives during the 1962 war, Shah said they fought with indomitable spirit despite the lack of resources. None utters ‘Namaste’ in Arunachal Pradesh but people greet each other with ‘Jai Hind’ that “fills our hearts with patriotism.
It is because of this attitude of Arunachalis that China which had come to occupy it had to retreat.
