In the last 8 months terrorists have attempted 17times to violate our borders and infiltrate into India which was successfully foiled by our security forces. Addressing the BJP’s national council meeting in Calicut, Shah said scams worth Rs. 12 lakh crores came to light during the former UPA regime headed by Dr Manmohan Singh.

Shah said India is committed to giving a strong reply to Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, echoing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s view that those who were behind the terror strike will surely be punished. He later made a separate statement on the raging issue with the Prime Minister and entire top brass of the party present on the dais. In his first public address since the deadly Uri attack, Modi said India would mount an all out offensive to isolate Pakistan diplomatically and expose its activities in exporting terror, killing of innocent people and spilling blood.
He said the BJP and NDA government has adopted a zero tolerance policy against terrorism, and appealed to the people of the country and all political parties to extend support in this battle.
BJP governments in 13 states besides the Centre are now working to unlift and empower the poor following the Upadhyay’s concept and that is why its dispensations in many states have been re-elected on the basis of performance, he said. This is a long war which has been forced on us by our neighbour. “Ultimately, India will emerge victorious in its war against terrorism”, he said and exhorted the countrymen to stand united to tackle the extremism. The Uri attack is a result of their frustration only. India has been a long time victim of this policy of Pakistan.
“BJP won’t let that happen”, Amit Shah added.
“Pak PM Nawaz Sharif glorified terrorist Burhan wani as a leader”, the BJP chief added. “In the last decade and a half we have endured several major and minor terrorist attacks, the latest being Uri”, he said.
