Further, he said, “Recently by banning the Popular Front of India we have presented a successful example for the world to see.” This shows how much our commitment towards democracy has become robust and strong.

The union minister also said that terror-related incidents have come down due to zero tolerance against terrorism, a strong framework for counter-terror laws, and the strengthening of agencies and due to assertive political will.
