Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said on Friday, 1 December that security forces have eliminated over 200 terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir in 2017.
He made the remark at a BJP rally in Mahudha town, Kheda district, of poll-bound Gujarat.
“What has happened to our neighbouring country Pakistan? Every day they are doing some mischief or the other,” he said.
The Home Minister’s statement came two days after a statement from Jammu & Kashmir Director General of Police, SP Vaid, congratulating the J&K Police for the feat.
“I give credit to martyrs of Army, J&K Police, CRPF, and all other forces and those involved in these forces, who work day and night. It is a result of an effective intelligence network & good coordination, ” Vaid added in a statement to ANI.
