'Another 26/11 impossible': Rajnath Singh on countering Pak terror #HTLS2020
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh paid tributes to martyrs and victims of the 26/11 terror attack on the incident's 12th anniversary.
He was speaking on Day 3 of the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2020.
Singh said that the possibility of another 26/11-like attack is virtually impossible, given the changes in national security ushered in by the Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance government.
He said that India has proof of Pakistan's role in not just 26/11, but also the Pulwama and Uri terror attacks.
Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra took a jibe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi by saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi including top leaders of BJP who also hold ministerial positions are campaigning in different parts of country for upcoming assembly elections and Rahul Gandhi which he called 'Puppu' is catching fish. "Look at the difference. Modi ji is campaigning in Tamil Nadu, Amit Shah ji in West Bengal, Nadda ji is in Assam, Rajnath Singh is in Kerala, and 'Pappu' is catching fish, then they'll say EVMs are malfunctioning," he said. Rahul Gandhi was seen fishing with the fishermen during his Kerala visit.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh attended the wedding of a doctor in Ghazipur on February 27. Dr Brijendra belonged to a very poor family and his education was supported by him. During his tenure as Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister, Rajnath Singh had taken up the responsibility of educating two children. "It brings in satisfaction when poor children excel in their lives," said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. Expressing happiness on Rajnath Singh's presence in his marriage, Brijendra said that it is very unexpected.

The Indian Air Force carried out a long range precision strike against a practice target to mark the second anniversary of the Balakot Operations. The strike was carried out by members of the same squadron who carried out the actual operations inside Pakistan in response to the Pulwama attack in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed. IAF Chief Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria also flew a multi aircraft sortie with the units to commemorate the occasion along with the squadron pilots. 'Balakot Air Strike', was the first aerial assault carried out by India in Pakistan after the 1971 Indo-Pak war. Balakot Air Strike was carried out as a reply to Pulwama attack that claimed lives of 40 CRPF officials. Second anniversary of the Balakot Operations was marked on February 26.
Some media reports say that India and Pakistan may upgrade their diplomatic ties after years of freeze in dialogue between both countries in the aftermath of the Pulwama and Uri terror attacks. Sources say diplomatic ties between the neighbours are 'taking new shape'.

Ahead of the Assembly polls in Tamil Nadu, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is effectively campaigning in several cities of the state. During his rally in Tirunelveli on February 27, Rahul Gandhi said, "I fall asleep at night in 30 seconds as I am not afraid of Mr Modi (Prime Minister Narendra Modi). How long does Tamil Nadu Chief Minister take? He can't sleep at night as he isn't honest. Since he is dishonest he can't stand up against Mr Modi who thinks he can control people of Tamil Nadu because Chief Minister is corrupt." "Mr Modi thinks Tamil Nadu is like his television, he can pick up remote and do whatever he wants. He can put volume up and Chief Minister will talk louder and vice versa. He thinks he can control people of TN, but people are going to remove battery from remote and throw away," he added.

Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on February 20 announced an increase in wages of tea labours by Rs. 80. The total wage of each tea garden workers in Assam will now be Rs 318. CM Sarbananda Sonowal said, "It is significant and historic initiative taken by BJP-led NDA government in Assam.

While addressing the press conference in Patna on January 10, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav spoke on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's statement over National Democratic Alliance (NDA) alliance for Bihar polls. Yadav said, "It is tit for tat. If you look at Nitish Kumar ji's history, be it George Fernandes, Digvijaya Singh or our party- whom did he not betray?. He came to power through back door, he has thirst for power." "The destruction of Bihar by him is for everyone to see. Nitish Kumar is a bargainer, a blackmailer. He is not a leader. He is not for people, he is for himself," Yadav added.
