New Delhi: Union home minister Rajnath Singh says that he has given the Border Security Force a free hand not to show the “white flag” any longer, and instead give a befitting reply to incessant attacks from Pakistan across the international border, in violation of the ceasefire.
Mr Singh said India’s attempts to build peaceful ties should not be mistaken for weakness.
Addressing the BJP’s “Vijay Sankalp Yatra” at Hathin in Haryana’s Palwal district, the Union home minister said on Sunday that the BSF DG told him “We have on 15 occasions shown white flags, but Pakistan is repeatedly indulging in firing.”
Mr Singh said, “I told him that if Pakistan does not desist, give straight orders that next time the white flag will not be shown, but firing will be started from the Indian side.”
