Union Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday accused Pakistan of sponsoring terror in Jammu and Kashmir and said the military was fully capable of thwarting any terror attack. Addressing the inter-state council in Lucknow, he said that there was no doubt that Pakistan was behind all forms of terror in Jammu and Kashmir.
It is to be noted here that India had called off the talks with Pakistan over the killing of three soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir’s Shopian. Many recent developments led to the volte-face. India was upset over the abduction and killing of Indian soldiers. Another reason was the release of a special postal stamp commemorating Burhan Wani in Pakistan.
Reacting on the issue, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan had said that his ‘government’s offer of friendship’ should not be considered as Pakistan’s weakness. Targeting the opposition parties on the Rafale deal, the BJP leader said they were raising non-issues as they were bereft of any worthwhile cause.
