Mumbai/New Delhi: A day after Army carried out the first of its kind surgical strike in Myanmar, government on Wednesday said India's response is a "lesson" to all militant groups that it will not hesitate in going beyond its borders to eliminate terrorists.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked his ministerial colleague Jitendra Singh to go to that country to take stock of the situation, official sources said on Wednesday.
As the pre-dawn cross-border operation appeared to signal a possible change in India's counter-terrorism approach, the government also said it has "zero tolerance" towards terror and terror organisations. Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi, meanwhile, fully backed the Army's strike on insurgent camps in Myanmar, saying such operations should be continued to completely flush out militants from the region.
"The military's action against insurgents with assistance from the Myanmarese government speaks volumes about India's resolve to fight terror. This is a lesson and a message to all the terror groups that India will not hesitate in going beyond its geographical borders to eliminate terrorists," Union environment minister Prakash Javadekar said.
While replying to a query, he, however, refused to comment on if India will carry out a similar strike on Pakistan-based groups plotting terror against India. Javadekar was speaking to reporters in Mumbai while outlining the achievements of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government's one year in office.
In New Delhi, senior minister Nitin Gadkari at a briefing on the Union Cabinet meeting initially ignored questions by reporters on whether the ministers congratulated PM Narendra Modi on the cross-border operation. When pressed further, he said that the issue was not discussed at the meeting and that the Prime Minister was not congratulated at the meeting.
