Addressing a public gathering at the launch of BJP’s Kamal Jyoti event here, Shah said, ” Be it terrorist attacks, terrorist organisation or terrorists themselves, we have zero tolerance for all. We are proud that a surgical strike was conducted at a place which was spreading terrorism in India since long.” Hailing Prime Minister Modi’s leadership and governance, he further added, “In 2014, PM Modi had promised a safe and secure India. Surgical strikes after Uri and now air strikes in self-defence, both have given the message to the world that for the security of the country, India’s soldiers and government can go to any extent.” He also spoke about various schemes of the Central Government including Ujjwala scheme, Swacch Bharat, Ayushman Bharat among others and said, “Toilets have reached to 8 crore households, 2.5 crore people have been provided with a home.

Over 14 lakh people have already taken benefit of Ayushman Bharat.” Earlier in the day, Shah had hailed the IAF strikes. “I congratulate and salute the bravery and valour of our armed forces. Today’s action further demonstrates that India is safe and secure under the strong and decisive leadership of PM Narendra Modi. Today’s strong action shows the will and resolve of a New India. Our New India will not spare any acts of terror and their perpetrators and patrons,” he tweeted.
