Arun Jaitley in Aap Ki Adalat
Union Minister Arun Jaitley on Saurday said that the previous governments feared international backlash if they took any actions against Pakistan. However, the situation today is different. We have the diplomatic strength to strike against Pakistan and also bring back Indian Air Force pilot, who fell in Pakistan territory, back within 48 hours.
Talking to India TV Chairman and Editor-In-Chief Rajat Sharma on Aap Ki Adalat, Union Minister Arun Jaitley said there are many different ways to deal with Pakistan.
Responding to a question on ways to tackle with cross-border firing in times when Pakistan is recruiting terrorists in its army, Jaitley said, "Strengthening your own self is the first step."
"We brought back our brave Indian Air Force pilot Abhinandan within 48 hours after he fell within the Pakistan borders."
