A day after Indian Army carried out a surgical strike inside Myanmar on militants believed to be involved in the June 4 killing of 18 soldiers in Manipur, Union minister Prakash Javadekar today said the country's response will serve as a lesson to those who incite terror.


"The military's action against insurgents with assistance from the Myanmarese government speaks volumes about India's resolve to fight terror. This is a lesson and a message to all the terror groups that India will not hesitate in going beyond its geographical borders to eliminate terrorists," Javadekar said.


While replying to a query, he, however, refused to comment on if India will carry out a similar strike on Pakistan-based groups plotting terror against India. Javadekar was speaking to reporters here while outlining the achievements of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government's one year in office.
