“This government has protected the country’s border. There was a time when UPA government was here for 10 years. There was a government of Sonia (Gandhi) and Manmohan Singh. There was government of ‘Gandhi Parivar’. “Anybody could humiliate country’s borders (at that time) at one’s will,” he said while addressing a function to mark the Punjabi suba golden jubilee here.

Shah asserted that in the last two and half years of Modi government, things have changed. “Today, the whole world has come to know that nobody could dare to see with ill-will at the borders areas of India. If anybody tries to show animosity (on border), a befitting reply is given in order to ensure country’s security,” said Shah.
