time when some separatists from India had taken refugee in the
dense jungles along the borders. “They were formidable force and to our
greatest regret we had taken military action to expel them from our country so
that they didn’t oppose to the peace and security of India,” he said.

relation between India and China has been improving.
Recently, the Defense Minister of China has visited India and the two countries have
started joint military exercises which is a welcoming step, he added.
During his Odisha visit, he went Konark sun temple
and admired the beauty of Odisha’s architecture and culture. “It was very
moving experience for me. I felt really inspired by Odisha,” he said, adding, “It
was my first visit to the State which is rich in cultural heritage.”
The Maha Bodhi Society has made tremendous
contributions in the protection, preservation and conservation and making
accessible of many sites and pilgrimages of Buddhist vociferous. “During my
