That is why other than Jammu and Kashmir and some nearby areas, there has been no major terrorist incident in the country in the past seven years,\u201d Singh said.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u201cIt seems that militants are now scared of the BJP government. This is not a small thing,\u201d he said.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u201cMilitants now realise that they are not secure even in their safe-havens. What we did (surgical strike in PaK) after the Uri attack gave a clear message to the world that we can kill militants on this side as well as by crossing the border if the need arises,\u201d Singh said.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Had the previous Congress governments been sensitive towards Army soldiers, the issue of OROP, which the soldiers had been demanding for 40 years, would have been resolved, he said. The Congress did not accept their demand, he added.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u201cBut Modiji implemented it (OROP) immediately. This shows the difference between a Congress government and a BJP government,\u201d he said.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Singh attacked the Congress and its leaders, saying that they only used Mahatma Gandhi\u2019s name, but failed to follow in his footsteps.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Issues like Ram temple at Ayodhya are not mere slogans but BJP\u2019s commitment, he said.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u201cWe always fulfil what we promise. These are not mere election slogans\u2026it\u2019s our cultural commitment. Now, no force can stop the construction of a grand Ram temple. We had sacrificed three of our state governments after the structure (Babri mosque) was razed. Though the Centre had dismissed three of our governments, we never diluted our commitment and movement,\u201d Singh said.
