Country To Be Free From Menace Of Naxalism In Three Years: Amit Shah
While addressing a gathering on the 60th Raising Day of Sashastra Seema Bal in Assam’s Tezpur, Amit Shah appreciated the role of SSB along with the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and the Border Security Force (BSF) in reducing the naxal effect in the country.
He added that among all the central armed police forces, SSB plays a unique role in minutely integrating culture, history, topography and language and bringing people in border areas closer to the rest of the country.
“I believe that in the next three years under Prime Minister Naredra Modi’s leadership, the country will completely get rid of the problem of Naxalism,” Amit Shah said.
“Along with protecting the border of friendly countries of Nepal and Bhutan, SSB has fought against Naxalites in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Bihar. I have heard of your bravery whenever I have gone on review of Naxal operations in these areas,” he added.
