#NATIONAL…Clear-headed response to national security matters absent during UPA, alleges Sitharaman.

Amid a row over Congress leader Manish Tewari’s views on the UPA dispensation’s 26/11 Mumbai terror attack response, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman claimed the “clear-headed response” in national security matters adopted during the Narendra Modi government was “missing” before 2014.

The Modi government gave the armed forces the “fullest right” to take appropriate decisions at appropriate times to show to the people of the country how India responds in such situations, she said.
