NIRMALA SITHARAMAN’S STRONG STATEMENT ON BORDER FIRING

According to reports, the defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday said that the Army respects the ongoing Ramzan ceasefire in Jammu and Kashmir. However, she assured that no unprovoked attack in the border can go unanswered as the forces have been given the right to hit back.

"It is our duty to keep our borders safe. We shall be alert and ensure that no unprovoked attacks go without us responding. It is the duty of the defence ministry and the forces to keep India safe," Sitharaman reportedly said.
