BJP 2019 Manifesto on Nation First Approach

Zero-Tolerance Approach to Terrorism

• Our security doctrine will be guided by our national security interest only. This is exemplified by the Surgical Strikes and the Air Strikes carried out recently. We will firmly continue our policy of ‘Zero Tolerance’ against terrorism and extremism and will continue to follow our policy of giving a free hand to our security forces in combating terrorism.

National Security

• Strengthening our Armed Forces - We will speed up the purchases of outstanding defense related equipments and weapons. In order to equip the Armed Forces with modern equipment, we will continue to take focused steps to strengthen the strike capability of the Armed Forces.

• Self-reliance in defence sector - In order to ensure self-reliance in procurement of defence equipment, we have taken several euective steps in the last five years. For instance, the most modern AK-203 automatic riues are being manufactured at Amethi under our 'Make in India in Defence' initiative. We are commited to focus on 'Make in India in Defence' to enable indigenous production of defence equipment. This will also generate employment and encourage investment in the defence sector.
