Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday hailed the Border Security Forces (BSF) for taking care of the country's border due to which he can sleep "peacefully without any tension". Addressing soldiers of the paramilitary force in Jharkhand's Hazaribagh on the occasion of BSF's 59th raising day, he said the country need not worry once the "protectors of the borders take the front".

"Whether it is the Pakistan border or the Bangladesh border that comes under the BSF, whenever the enemy makes a move, it is a tense situation but when the BSF says that their soldiers are present, I am able to sleep peacefully without any tension," the Home Minister said.

"Once the protectors of the borders take the front, nobody needs to worry about the borders. I, as a Home Minister, am very proud of you," he added.
