K. F. Rustamji was the founding father and the first director general of the BSF, the world's largest border guarding force with about 2.75 lakh personnel tasked to guard Indian borders with Pakistan on the west and Bangladesh on the east
Home Minister Amit Shah said Operation Sindoor has exposed the fact that terrorism in India is fully Pakistan-sponsored while delivering a lecture at the Investiture Ceremony in New Delhi
The home minister said the Indian armed forces first hit the terror bases in Pakistan, but it was the Pakistan Army that responded by trying to attack India
Hailing the role played by the BSF in securing the country, Shah said the force is a shining example of how one can overcome all difficulties based on patriotism and become the best force in the world
Referring to the BSF's role in guarding international borders, including with Bangladesh, Shah said the neighbouring country should not forget the big role played by the BSF in its creation
