Rajnath Singh says cross border infiltration and Maoist terrorism have declined in the past few months
The Union Home Minister was talking about the NDA government's achievements in the past three years.
He said that the surgical strike by India has left lasting positive benefits and the law and order situation in the state of Jammu and Kashmir has also improved considerably.
Rajnath Singh also claimed that apart from J&K, terrorist activities in the north-eastern part of the country and the Maoist-hit states have also declined.
He said that Maoist attacks have dropped by 25 per cent as compared to the previous three years, casualties have gone down by 42 per cent but surrender by Maoist cadres had gone up by 185 per cent.
The Minister also refused to see the use of a Kashmiri youth as a 'human shield' by an army officer in negative light, media reports said.
He said, "I do not want to see stones in the hands of the Kashmiri youth. We intend to remove all the barriers in their future path,."
