No compromise will be tolerated with national interest: Rajnath

Lauding the Indian Army for their immeasurable efforts in last few months, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on 1 June claimed that no compromise will be tolerated with national respect, adding that infiltration have been reduced after the surgical strike by India.

"No compromise with national respect. Earlier, there used to be more infiltration from Pakistan but now after surgical strike it has been reduced," Singh said while attending a Border Security Force (BSF) investiture ceremony here.

Singh also asserted that the government is moving forward on integrating border guarding force, intelligence network and police presence.

"A three-tier security system should be on border, we are moving fast towards integrating border guarding force, intelligence network and police presence," he added.

Singh appealed to all the jawans and officials not to follow or share social media messages directly on WhatsApp and Facebook unless knowing its authenticity.

"The enemies try to spread rumours through social media, have seen sometimes our jawans and official forward them directly on WhatsApp and Facebook. I appealed that at least it shouldn't be forwarded, in any case till its authentic and in nation's interest," he added.
