Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh yesterday said India has shown it can attack its enemies not only on its soil, but also in a foreign territory, if need be. Singh's remarks come almost a month after a group of five Army commandos crossed the Line of Control in Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir and killed three Pakistani soldiers in a daring operation. The operation was seen as avenging the killing of four Indian Army personnel by the Pakistan Army in Keri sector. "A few months ago, Pakistan, in an act of cowardice, attacked and martyred 17 of our jawans. Prime Minister Narendra Modi consulted all of us on this serious issue, and the Indian Army entered the Pakistani area and killed the militants," Singh said at a public meeting here.
