New Delhi : The Vice President of India M Venkaiah Naidu has said that though India is a peace loving nation and it wants to be friendly with all its neighbours, we do not want anybody to interfere in our internal affairs and whoever interferes, we will give a befitting reply. He also complimented the Indian armed forces for giving a befitting reply to terrorist organisations by conducting pre-emptive air strikes with precision.

“India is a peace loving nation. We want to be friendly with all our neighbours. And we do not want anybody to interfere in our internal affairs. Whoever interferes, we will give a befitting reply. Today, I compliment the India Armed Forces for giving a befitting reply to the terrorist organisations by conducting air strikes with precision. As you all are aware, India is now the largest growing major economy and well embarked on the road to become the third largest economy in the coming years. For the country to continue unhindered on its growth path, we need to ensure that peace prevails at all times. Peace is pre-requisite for development,” Naidu said.

He was addressing a gathering at the 13^th anniversary of ‘My Home India’, an NGO working for working to create the social, cultural and educational awakening amongst the tribal and backward classes in North East India, here.

Naidu said that recent diabolical terrorist attack on CRPF personnel in Pulwama once again underlines the global imperative to isolate and impose sanctions against nations perpetrating terrorism and jeopardising peace. The world community needs to come together and act in the most stringent manner to eliminate the menace of terrorism, he said. The United Nations must conclude the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism with greater urgency and should not delay the process over semantics, he added.

Naidu said that unity in diversity is the central pillar on which our multi-lingual, culturally rich and diverse country is built by our founding fathers. He further said that we must further cement this unity and the bonding of people among all regions in the country. “I would like to suggest to organisations like My Home India to facilitate student exchange programmes between northeast India and the rest of the country,” he added, according to a PIB release.
