New Delhi: Union Home Minister P Chidambaram today asks the Indians to respect the security forces.

He lauds the security forces and said, “What does a policeman want? What do our security forces want? Be it the army jawan who stands on glaciers or in jungles of Assam, men who guard naval bases or men who keep vigil in the skies: respect.”

Talking about the 26/11 Mumbai attacks he said, “The adversary chose the target carefully which included two iconic buildings and a place which millions of ‘aam admi’s use to creat maximum impact.”

At the same time he praised the efforts of the security personnel and said, “The magnitude of their sacrifice is supreme. The nation is proud of them.”
