“One country’s terrorist can not be a martyr or freedom fighter for anyone”, Singh said, adding that to get rid of terrorism completely, nations must refrain from labelling terrorists as “good” and “bad”. “One country’s terrorist can not be a freedom fighter for anyone…”

The members of the House wanted clarity on whether media reports about his speech being blacked out were indeed true. In that sense, the so-called “blacking out” of Mr Singh’s speech by Pakistan was not particularly germane to the issue. I can not say anything about that.
India wants issues such as terrorism to be discussed, but Pakistan is stuck on Kashmir.
On Friday, Singh told the Indian Parliament that he skipped the lunch hosted by his Pakistani counterpart on Thursday because he was not treated well in Islamabad. Rajnath said that the whole world including South Asia is reeling with the problem of terrorism.
Home Minister of India, Rajnath Singh, on Thursday briefed prime minister, Narendra Modi, on his visit to Pakistan to attend the 7th conference of Internal Ministers of SAARC countries immediately on his return from Islamabad.
Categorically standing by his stance, Nisar said that no country under the guise of words should criticise Pakistan, giving a sensitive yet disturbing statement out of it. Pakistan had been the biggest victim of terrorism and also had many particulars against terrorism as a state. Asserting that a terrorist in one nation can not be a martyr in another nation, India urged SAARC nations to extradite persons involved in supporting terrorism.
Addressing the concluding session of the three-day Envoys Conference, Sharif said, “Resolution of the lingering dispute in accordance with the United Nations resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people is the corner stone of Pakistan’s foreign policy”. But right after extending the invitation, the Minister sat in his vehicle and left.
“Why were no guarantees sought by the Indian government before the Home Minister visited Pakistan?” “I also left. I have no complaints as I had not gone there to have a lunch”, Rajnath Singh.
NO VIOLATION OF PROTOCOL: MEA Hours after Singh’s briefing in Rajya Sabha, the ministry of external affairs asserted there was no violation of SAARC protocol as far as not allowing telecast of Rajnath’s speech.

Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed, the chief of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, also led an anti-India rally in Lahore where he lashed out at the Pakistan government for allowing Rajnath Singh land in Islamabad.
