India is the land of Buddha, India is the land of Gandhi. And that is why in our culture, there something in our veins that we don't accept anything against the primary values of our society.

The law takes strict action and will do. And India is a vibrant democracy that under its constitution gives all the security to every citizen. And we are committed to that.
