Rajnath Singh praises Indian soldiers for attacking enemies

As firing along the Line of Control and international border with Pakistan continues, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today said India has shown it can attack its enemies not only on its soil, but also in a foreign territory, if need be.

At least 11 people have lost their lives in the firing from Pakistani side since Thursday. Over 40,000 residents of Arnia and other areas along the LoC and border in Jammu and Kashmir have abandoned their homes to escape heavy shelling from Pakistan.

Rajnath Singh's remark is also being viewed in the backdrop of a cross-border operation by the Indian forces about a month ago. A group of five Army commandos had crossed the Line of Control in Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir and killed three Pakistani soldiers and smashed a post, in a swift and daring operation.
