While reviewing schemes is good, the people's primary demand is clear: restoration of statehood. That promise was made in Parliament. Development feels hollow without the restoration of democratic rights and dignity.

Meeting the families of our brave soldiers is a very important gesture. It shows the nation stands with them. Jai Jawan! 🇮🇳 Hope the security review leads to even better protection for our forces on the ground.

Tanvir Sadiq raised a critical point about attacks on Kashmiris outside. This is unacceptable and tarnishes our image as a society. The Home Minister must address this firmly to ensure every Indian feels safe anywhere in the country.

Actions speak louder than words. We've heard many announcements. Let's see some tangible outcomes from these reviews - better roads, more schools, and industrial units that provide local employment. That's real development.

A three-day visit is good for a detailed review. Visiting the border posts shows he wants a ground-level assessment. Hope this leads to better facilities for our BSF jawans who guard us in extreme conditions.
