"I want to pay tribute to the brave 40 CRPF jawans, who sacrificed their lives in Pulwama for the country. The country hasn't forgotten and it will never forget...If your morale is high, India's future is safe...Maintain this credibility, capability and professionalism as India is looking up to you," said Mr Doval.
"What we have to do...which path to follow, what action is to be taken and at what time... our nation's leadership is capable and strong enough to decide," the NSA added.
