Shah who was addressing the establishment day function of BSF in the Meru training school and college of the force, said 130 crore citizens of the country will never forget the contribution of those martyrs who laid their lives for this country.
With a grand programme taking place here, Shah praised jawans by saying that they celebrate all festivals on the border away from their families.
“Because you are on the border that’s why we feel safe at home. The country whose border is not safe cannot go on the path of development,” he added.
