Nation has been successful in destroying hideouts across border along with internal action against terrorism: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh

Chandigarh, August 30, 2021: No power in the world can separate the ‘Crown of the nation’ Jammu and Kashmir from India. At present, India is not only taking actions against terrorism within the country but is also successful in destroying their outfits across the border. This was stated by the Defense Minister Rajnath Singh while expressing his views on the topic of 'National Security' during the third Balramji Das Tandon Memorial Lecture organized by Punjab University on Monday.
