New Delhi, Jan. 31 (PTI): President Pranab Mukherjee on Monday favoured a constructive debate on simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assemblies and funding of polls to eradicate money power. ”My government welcomes a constructive debate on simultaneous conduct of elections to Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies. Referring to the surgical strikes, Mukherjee said the government had taken decisive steps to give a fitting reply to the repeated incursions on India's territorial sovereignty. ”On September 29, 2016, our defence forces successfully conducted surgical strikes at several launch pads along the Line of Control to prevent infiltration by terrorists. ”My government's very first cabinet decision (in 2014) was to set up a SIT on blackmoney."
