Sachin Tendulkar [Images] on Monday brushed aside security concerns ahead of the four-Test series against Australia [Images], saying Indian players are confident that they will never be targeted at home.

"I don't think it [security concern] bothers us. This is our homeland. In our homeland, I don't think anyone can harm us," Tendulkar told reporters at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.

The veteran batsman, who has been declared fit for the upcoming Test series, reached Bangalore for the six-day conditioning camp that begins on Tuesday.

The first Test against Australia starts in Bangalore on October 9.

"We have full confidence that nothing bad will happen. This is our homeland, we should be free to move wherever and whenever we want," the master batsman said, replying to questions whether security concerns bothered players.

"I don't think there will be security concerns as such".

Tendulkar said he cannot comment on what Australians feel about the security situation but maintained that he does not definitely think anyone will look to harm Indian players.
