While international support is welcome, I hope our leaders are equally focused on strengthening internal security mechanisms. Terrorism needs to be fought both at borders and within our systems.

Japan has always been a reliable partner. Their technology and our manpower can create formidable anti-terror capabilities. More such collaborations please! #MakeInIndia should include defense tech partnerships too.

Good to see all-party consensus on this critical issue. Terrorism affects every Indian regardless of political affiliation. Hope this unity reflects in Parliament too when discussing security matters.

Japan understands security challenges well given their neighborhood. Their support means a lot, but we must ensure such partnerships don't antagonize other neighbors unnecessarily. Diplomatic balance is key.

Terrorism discussions are important, but hope they also talked about economic cooperation! Japan can help develop our Northeast which faces both development challenges and security issues. Win-win opportunity! ✨
