New Delhi: Home Minister Rajnath Singh spoke today at the Hindustan Times Summit in New Delhi.
Here are the highlights:
Here are the highlights:
- We will not leave a single stone unturned to meet the internal security challenges of India.
- There are many challenges, and since we have a federal structure, we need the support of the states.
- I want to ask Pakistan - is ISI a non-state actor? Who helped Osama bin-Laden? Who is helping Hafiz Saeed?
- Dawood Ibrahim is in Pakistan but not being handed over. The culprits of 2008 Mumbai attack are not being acted against.
- ISIS is radicalising people through social media. We are developing a system to check this.
- Cyber crime is a big challenge for us, one of the hurdles we face are due to servers not being in India but we have a strategy in place to deal with that.
- There is an integrated action plan to deal with the scourge of naxalism.
- There are numerous insurgent groups in the North-East whom we are asking to lay down their weapons.
- Happy to inform you ANVC, a Meghalaya insurgent group, has agreed to give up arms.
- If we try to raise infrastructure along the border, China and Pakistan tend to object. But still we're building roads, developing infrastructure.
- There are many parts of our borders that remain porous - we are trying to make greater use of technology to ensure border security.
- Our police needs to be more people-friendly and we're training them for it.
- Coastal police stations are being set up and their jurisdiction being defined.
- Give us time and wait, I can't make our strategy public. We will try to build up diplomatic pressure: Rajnath Singh on pursuing Dawood Ibrahim.
- We try to persuade Pakistan, but we will also build pressure to hand him over. The previous governments have also tried: Rajnath Singh on pursuing Dawood Ibrahim.
- There is a democracy in our country - and we have told the people of J&K to debate on Article 370 - has it benefited them?
- Our opponents are trying to create a sense of fear in the people of J&K.
- Why is Article 370 an election issue? we feel that development is a more important issue.
- We want good relations with all our neighbours. I feel the deadlock will be broken sooner or later: Rajnath Singh on India Pakistan relations.
- Atal ji used to say, friends change but neighbours don't; But when your neighbour acts against you we protest in a diplomatic way.
- If Pakistan's stand is clear, then our stand is clear as well: Rajnath Singh on talks with Kashmiri separatists)
- As far as AFSPA is concerned, we need more time to take a call on it. No decision has been taken on whether to withdraw this (AFSPA) law.
- RSS is not an external force. I am a volunteer of the RSS, and the PM is a volunteer of RSS.
- If we belong to the RSS, then how will the RSS influence us? I could understand people saying that if there were people with other ideologies trying to influence the government
