New Delhi: Hailing the contribution to the Border Security Force(BSF) on its 59th Raising Day, Home Minister Amit Shah, who attended the event in Jharkhand's Hazaribag said the country's borders are in safe hands with the BSF as the force is the first line of defence in foiling infiltration and terrorism from other sides of borders.
"Our country has faith in the valour of BSF for safeguarding frontiers mainly with Bangladesh and Pakistan. If BSF is in the border, we all can rest assured," Shah said.
Shah, who emphasised the crucial role of border security in the nation's development, also said, "A country can never be developed and prosperous if its borders are not secure." Further, Shah attributed India's advancements in various fields, including the successful organisation of the G20 summit and the Chandrayaan-3 mission, to the secure borders maintained by the sacrifices of the BSF. Shah asserted that under Prime Minister Modi's leadership, the country has made significant progress, with the BSF being the cornerstone of this development.
"A country can never be developed and prosperous if its borders are not secure. Under PM Modi's leadership, the country has progressed in every field. Whether it is the successful organisation of the G 20 or the Chandrayaan-3, all of this is only possible because the borders of the country are safe due to your sacrifice and penance. BSF is the root of the development of this country," Amit Shah said.
The Union Home Minister also expressed his heartfelt wishes to all BSF soldiers and their families, stating that the entire country takes immense pride in their service. He conveyed these sentiments while attending the commemorative ceremony. "I extend my best wishes to all the soldiers of the BSF and their families on the 59th Raising Day of the BSF... The entire country is proud of our soldiers," Amit Shah said.
Shah commended the BSF's commitment, stating that their presence at the frontlines ensures the nation's security, allowing its citizens to live without fear. On the BSF's 59th Raising Day, Union Home Minister Amit Shah says, "Whether it is the Pakistan border or the Bangladesh border that comes under the BSF, whenever the enemy makes a move, it is a tense situation but when the BSF says that their soldiers are present, I am able to sleep peacefully without any tension. Once the protectors of the borders take the front, nobody needs to worry about the borders. I, as a Home Minister, am very proud of you."
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also said the force has made a mark as a guardian of our frontiers and their valour and unwavering spirit in protecting our nation is a testament to their dedication.
In a post on X, Modi, who is in the UAE to attend the COP28 meeting said, "On BSF's Raising Day, we laud this excellent force, which has made a mark as a guardian of our frontiers."Their valour and unwavering spirit in protecting our nation is a testament to their dedication.
