Lt General (Retd) DS Hooda on Sunday submitted "a comprehensive and exhaustive" strategy document on the national security to Congress president Rahul Gandhi.

"Lt General (Retd) D S Hooda and his team have put together a comprehensive report on India's national security that he presented to me today. This exhaustive report will at first be discussed and debated within the Congress party. I thank him and the team for their effort," Rahul tweeted.

It is worth mentioning that the Congress party had roped in Lt Gen Hooda in February this year to prepare a comprehensive report on the national security.

After meeting Rahul, Lt Gen Hooda said: "The Congress president had constituted a task force headed by me on national security. I have prepared a national security strategy document and today submitted it to him."

Lt Gen Hooda, who had overseen the surgical strike of September 2016 on terror camps across the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, retired from the service in November 2016.
