Internal security going to be a big challenge for India: Doval

October 31, 2015 18:11

Managing internal security is going to be a major challenge for the country, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval today said as he asked the police force to train and equip themselves to tackle the "fourth generation" warfare with an invisible enemy.

Speaking after reviewing the passing out parade of the 67 RR (2014 batch) of Indian Police Service probationers at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academ, Doval said India cannot become a great and powerful country without managing its internal security.

"When you retire probably from 35-37 years from now, this will be an entirely new India. This will be an India, which will be a global power and it will be a big and great India, which will have great economic challenges, great economic opportunities and which will have much greater population, more opportunities and more problems," he said.

Stating that India would face more and more internal security problems, Doval said, "You cannot have a great powerful country if you cannot manage its internal security. It is only the policemen who can fight this battle and win it. Train yourself to become powerful intellectually, emotionally and spiritually, as strong as possible you can."

"You have to master the technology. The biggest challenge will be now if you have to fight and win this fourth generation of warfare, whether it is organised crime, terrorism, insurgency or foreign powers trying to meddle into your internal affairs you have got to be demonstrative.
