Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday launched the ‘Vibrant Villages Programme’ in Arunachal Pradesh’s Kibithoo and said “no one can encroach even pin’s tip worth of our land” and that “no one has the power to cast an evil eye on us”.
The Home Minister said that no one can cast their “evil eye” on India in today’s time as the Indo-Tibetan Border Police and Indian Army are guarding the borders.
“The entire country can sleep peacefully in their homes today because our ITBP jawans and Army is working day & night on our borders. Today, we can proudly say that no one has the power to cast an evil eye on us,” Shah said while addressing on the occasion.
Shah said that India is taking all measures to boost its security. “Today, we say with pride that gone are the days when anybody could encroach on India’s land. Today, we can proudly say that no one can encroach even a tip of a pin’s worth of our land because ITBP and Indian Army are present at our borders. I salute the sacrifices of all the jawans. Whosoever came to encroach the land here in 1962 had to return because of your patriotism,” he added.
“The era when anyone could encroach on India’s land has passed and no one can dare to eye its border, the home minister said.
He said border areas are the top priority of the Modi Government, pointing to the infrastructure and other development works carried out in the Northeast.
Shah said no one says ‘Namaste’ in Arunachal Pradesh as 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,” Shah said.
He said that the Modi government’s Look East policy has accelerated progress in the Northeast and the region now contributes to the development of the country.
