Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said that to achieve the goal of a developed India, the internal security of the country should be strong. Speaking at the last session of the Intelligence Bureau's National Security Policy Conference in New Delhi, Shah presented a grand vision for India's security system by 2047. He called for the need to identify future challenges, including infiltration, terrorism, drug trafficking and cyber threats, and act against them before they become crises.
Amit Shah took a strong stand on the issue of illegal infiltration. He said, “This country is not a dharamshala. Only the citizens of the country have the right to live in this country.” He also warned that illegal infiltration could pose a threat to national security, economic stability and demographic balance. To further strengthen the country's border security, the Central Government has engaged all land border states in the last eight months. Following these discussions, a major border security plan based on four pillars has been shared with the states. Shah said that the objective behind this policy is to make the country infiltration-free by stopping illegal infiltration.
Shah asked the national security agencies to not only focus on the current threats but also anticipate the challenges that may come in the next 15 to 20 years. He said that if challenges like drug trafficking, Naxalism and instability in North-East India had been identified and acted upon in the beginning, the country would not have faced problems related to security and governance in the long run.
Shah said that to completely destroy the terrorist network, the 'Strike' strategy should not just be on policy paper but should be made a part of the actual security operation. He said that the action against the banned Popular Front of India (PFI) is an example of coordination between central and state agencies.
