Amit Shah says LoC strikes, note ban changed the perception of India in world

As the BJP national executive gave a standing ovation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the “unprecedented” cross-border surgical strikes and the demonetisation “success”, party president Amit Shah Friday said the two events had changed the perception of the nation about the organisation and that of other countries about India.

In his inaugural address at the NDMC Convention Centre in New Delhi, Shah said: “After the cowardly attacks in Uri, the country was expectantly looking at the BJP government at the Centre in the hope of some tough steps. During the 2014 Lok Sabha campaign, we had made the commitment that security of the borders and the soldiers will be our top priority.
