New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi had given the go ahead to the Indian Army for "hot pursuit" of militants into Myanmar in which two militant camps were completely annihilated, Union Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore disclosed on Tuesday.

"Its become a habit for these militants to strike at the Indian Army or paramilitary forces or citizens of the nation and then cross over into safe havens being confident of the fact that Indian Armed forces will not pursue them," he said to an English news channel.

"This message is now very clear for all those who harboured intentions of terror on our country. Unprecedented though, but our Prime Minister has taken a very bold step and given a go ahead for hot pursuit into Myanmar," the minister said.

"Therefore, we are confirming that Indian armed forces crossed over into Myanmar and carried out strikes on two of the militant campas, annhilating the entire camps and they have returned back safely," he said.

Asked whether India will extend this strategy to other sectors like the western side, implying Pakistan, the minister said, "its undoubtedly a message to all nations that harbours any terror intentions, be it the west or the specific country where we went in right now."

'"Even if there are groups within a country that harbours terror intentions, we will choose the time and place of hitting them," he said.

"Two Maoist hideouts inside Myanmar were destroyed in a surgical strike by the Indian Army which used helicopters in the operation," Union Minister said.

He further said, "Its historic in nature as well. This country will not anymore tolerate attacks on us. We will hit them wherever they are and at present an eminent attack building up from across Myanmar and therefore the Army coordinating with the Airforce carried out a surgical strike to eliminate them. This was done within the territory of Myanmar. Absolutely true, it is not like a 'kabaddi match' where you can come and go back and not be spared of retaliatory strike. So we will cross over and we will hit."

"The Indian forces did cross over. We crossed over the Myanmar territory. We have good relations with them and we carried out the strike. This is crurcial support. To eliminate terrorism, it is essential we have cooperation from nations and therefore the source of support is extremely critical," Rathore added.

"Indian forces did not suffer any casualties. Two campus completely annihilated. Not a single Indian casualty occurred," he said.

Asked whether Indian Army's operation had the support of the Myanmar Army and the government there, Rathore said, "Myanmar is a friendly nation and therefore there was complete cooperation, if the need required".

The Minister said the operation was carried by the special forces "entirely on their own".

To a question whether helicopters were used in the operation, he said, "we had many of the other forces waiting in readiness for any eventuality".

Does this mark a shift in India's strategy in dealing with terrorism, the minister was asked.

"I think it was the need of the hour as well, the entire nation wanted it and that's perhaps a reason why they voted a strong government at the Centre. It had become like a habit (for militants). It is not like a 'kushti' match that if you go back into your area nobody will catch you. This message is very critical that we will strike you wherever you are," he said.

The Minister told PTI, "Attacks on Indians not acceptable anywhere across the world and based on effective intelligence, we will carry out surgical strikes at the place and timing of our own choosing".

"We suffered no casualties in this operation. The Army has strong capabilities and it needed an equally strong leader to take such a bold decision," he said.

Friendship and zero tolerance will go hand in hand, he said, adding, "This is a beginning. India is strong. This message should go to everyone"

All those idiots who said Modis travel to foreign countries as enjoying vacation can exhibit some shame now.
building neighbor relations is what helps in these kind of operations.
