Governor of punjab

Amritsar: Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit on Thursday said surgical strikes should be conducted against Pakistan to teach it a lesson as he accused the neighbouring country of pushing drugs into the Indian territory. Mr Purohit also praised the Punjab government over the issue of drug seizure and tackling drones that are being used to send narcotics from across the border. The governor was on a two-day visit to the border districts of the state. He said the next generation must be stopped from becoming addicts at any cost and added that if Pakistan is playing mischief with India, "one or two surgical strikes should be conducted against it". Purohit expressed satisfaction over the coordination among central agencies, such as the Border Security Force (BSF), Army and Intelligence Bureau, and the Punjab Police. Addressing the media, the governor came down heavily on Pakistan for launching a "hidden war" against India, saying it is doing so as it could not engage in a direct fight against the country. He also expressed concern over the use of drones by Pakistan for pushing drugs and weapons into India and laid an emphasis on effectively countering the same. "Pakistan has started a hidden war (against India)," Purohit said while expressing concern over a large number of drones being sent by the neighbouring country to smuggle drugs. He said he was 101 per cent confident that the use of drones was not be possible without the involvement of the Pakistani government or its army...

Continuing his visits to the border districts of the state and assessing the drug menace, Punjab Governor Banwari Lal Purohit expressed support on Thursday for a “surgical strike" against Pakistan, aiming to “teach it a lesson" in response to its alleged “hidden war against India." The Governor has been visiting the border areas of the state since Wednesday to take stock of the security situation and the anti-drug operations conducted by the central forces. Accusing the neighbouring country of smuggling drugs into Indian territory, he expressed his personal opinion that a surgical strike should be conducted to teach Pakistan a lesson for its alleged involvement in a “hidden war" against India. According to him, Pakistan resorts to such tactics due to its inability to directly confront India. The Governor further called on the need to enhance border security and address the ongoing challenges of infiltration and drug smuggling. He proposed the formation of Village Defence Committees (VDC) within a 10 km radius of villages bordering the India-Pakistan International Borders (IB) with an aim to support security agencies in combating the drug menace across six border districts. He said his fourth official visit to the border villages was aimed to evaluate existing security measures, understand the evolving threats and boost the morale of the local residents. “My motive was to meet with state and central agencies to gather feedback and improve the interaction between them in ord...
