Remember Tamil Tigers, remember Kashmir and other places of the world where the insurgency is ongoing.“However, within the last one year, I can assure you that almost 95 percent of the security challenges of this nation have been eradicated.“If you can remember before the coming of this administration we had a lot of security challenges. I am not saying that it has been eradicated within one year, but I am telling you as I am talking to you today I am proud to mention that things that were happening in the past in the north-east and other regions of this country have tremendously gone down.” Discover more from NewsBreakers
