2 years of Narendra Modi govt: A look at security related issues

The Narendra Modi-led NDA government has completed its two years. This year has been a mixed bag for the Modi govt with many hits and failures. For PM Modi issues relating to internal and external security was a major concern from the very first day. The govt has faced issues like ISIS to Pathankot attacks to China’s conspiracy to illegal immigrants from Bangladesh to JNU issue.

The main problem was ISIS treat, which is probably one of the biggest. The govt handed the issue with perfection and with national security advisor, Ajit Doval it took every possible step to stop the surge within the youths. Many people were counselled, who have been radicalised on the internet to join the organization. (Also Read: Have undertaken maximum reforms, says PM Narendra Modi)

The second major issue was Border security, there was many lapses but the govt has ensure that is not compromised. A committee has been formed to step up the security across the borders. It was a commendable decision to seal the Indo-Bangladesh border, which will stop the illegal immigrants and free flow of terrorists from the neighbors.    

One of the main issue Modi govt faced is tussle with Pakistan. PM Modi faced both criticism and praise for his sudden trip to Pakistan from Afghanistan. What those people need to understand that war is not an option with that country. The only way out of the problem is continue talking. Engaging Pakistan in trade has a direct impact on curbing incidents of terror from that country. ( Also Read: News Nation survey: Narendra Modi government's 2 year report card)

After PM Modi’s visit to Pakistan, there were a series of attacks including Pathankot attacks, Udhampur attacks and many more infiltrations in the valley. The porous border between India and Pakistan in Punjab region have been helping drug smugglers to operate well. The way was used by terrorists to sneak in and cause the huge damage.  There was a complete lapse at the border and the complaint by the Punjab SP about being abducted by the terrorists was not taken seriously.

The first problem was that at first many doubted the SP and secondly sending NSG ahead of the Special Forces is also a very debatable decision.

The K issue is on the boil from day one between India and Pakistan. From Udhampur attack on the BSF personnel to twin strikes in Srinagar in just few hours was also a major wake up call. The govt has not been able to tackle the separatists well in the valley after being a part of the ruling govt. The govt is trying to bring back the Kashmiri Pandits, those who have shifted out by providing employments. ( Also Read: PM Narendra Modi to launch second anniversary celebrations at Saharanpur)

The relations with China has been worsen in past few days. The dragon has been trying create problems for India in all fronts. India was the only country to supply essential items to Nepal from last 50 years but now China entered the Himalayan country has a competitor.

It’s been a success for the Modi government from last one years as there have been no major attacks by Maoists. They have curbed the menace of the internal which was a major issue the UPA government.
