Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday said that he has ordered Indian soldiers not to fire at their Pakistani counterparts first, however, give them a fitting reply by 'firing countless bullets' if Pakistan opened fire.

The minister also said that Indian soldiers along the India-Pakistan border had been neutralising at least five-six terrorists every day, reported PTI.

Speaking at the 9th Vishwakarma Jayanothsav in Bengaluru, Singh said that if India was a weak country, it could not have been in a position to resolve the Doklam issue with China

"India is no more a weak nation, but a strong country. You ought to know how India resolved the Doklam issue with China, especially when most people across the globe were anticipating an India-China conflict," the home minister said.

The Indian Army and the China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) had, on August 28, decided to disengage their troops from Bhutan's Doklam plateau after a months-long stand-off.

Tensions rose between the two countries when China began constructing a road in the plateau at Sikkim-Bhutan-Tibet tri-junction.
