Nothing is more important to us than national security, says Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann today. We shall live if this country survives. On Thursday, Mann met with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi. Mann stated, "This is my first encounter with Home Minister Shah." There has been a pleasant conversation between the two.

Mann stated that no one will be allowed to spread hatred seeds in Punjab. The Center had already furnished us with ten paramilitary forces companies for this purpose. Following today's discussion, Home Minister Shah stated that instructions to send 10 more firms to Punjab would be issued by the evening.
Bhagwant Mann, while thanking the Union Home Minister, assured him that Punjab will be instrumental in safeguarding the security and sovereignty of the country.

The Chief Minister also expressed deep concern over the increasing drug and weapon smuggling from across the border through drones and impressed upon Amit Shah to immediately provide anti-drone technology to state for foiling such attempts. He said that it was all the more important for the nation’s security thus rising above the petty politics.

The Chief Minister assured Amit Shah that Punjab will uphold the ethos of communal harmony, peace, and brotherhood in the state. He said that every attempt to divide the state into communal lines will be foiled and the hard-earned peace of state will be maintained at every cost. Bhagwant Mann said that Punjab has always remained the sword arm of the country and the state will continue to uphold this glorious tradition.
