Nation celebrates 75 Years of Constitution: Rajnath Singh, Piyush Goyal, Pushkar Singh Dhami, and other leaders extend greetings
Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh extended greetings for Constitution Day to the people on Tuesday.
Hours after the security forces gunned down three militants in Jammu and Kashmir, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday credited the “coordination” among security forces for the ruthless crackdown on terror in the valley.
Speaking to the media in poll-bound Himachal Pradesh, Rajnath Singh said: “Pakistan indulges in unholy practices but coordination among our security forces is so good that terrorists are being regularly neutralised.”
The three Jaish-e-Muhammad militants, including two Pakistani nationals, were killed overnight in a joint operation of the Indian Army, the J-K Police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in Pulwama district.

Following intelligence inputs about the presence of militants, troops of the 44 RR, Special Operations Group (SOG) of state police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) had surrounded the village on Monday evening.
As the cordon was being tightened, hiding militants fired at the joint team of security forces. The gunfight started late on Monday evening.
Unfortunately, Sham Sunder of the 44 Rashtriya Rifles (RR) was martyred in the gun battle in Aglar village with the militants who belonged “to the same group” who attacked a police check-post in Rajpora on Saturday.
