Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Saturday said the Narendra Modi government has evolved a new security doctrine in which terrorists will be targeted “at their point of origin”.
Speaking at India TV Conclave here, Jaitley said: “Till now, Pakistan had been pushing in terrorists from across the Line of Control (LoC) to carry out killings, but now Prime Minister Modi has evolved a new security doctrine. In this, we have decided to target terrorists at their points of origin.”
He said that through a series of measures, India has made it clear that “if you indulge in terrorism, the cost will be so high that you will find it unaffordable”. “We crossed the LoC and International Border twice. Not a single country in the world criticised us… After the Balakot air strike, China did not question why Indian jets entered the air space, it only called for restraint.”
