Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday attacked Pakistan for its stand on terrorism after he hoisted the national flag at the ramparts of Red Fort for the third time as India celebrates its 70th Independence Day today.

Expressing his gratitude to the Baloch nations who sought India’s help over Pakistan’s brutalities in Balochistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, the Prime Minister said he was grateful to them for reaching out to him.
In thanking an Indian Prime Minister, “they have thanked the whole population of my country”, he said. This, he said, was in contrast to the way Indians reacted with sorrow when terrorists slaughtered school children in Peshawar.
“The people of Balochistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir have thanked India for speaking up on their behalf”.
At least seven paramilitary troops were wounded, three critically, after suspected rebels sprayed them with gunfire in the main city of troubled Indian Kashmir on Monday, officials said.
Modi on Friday said at the meeting of all major political parties that “Pakistan occupied Kashmir is ours”, stating that dialogue must be initiated with expatriates all over the world from that region.
“That is the nature of India”. But on the other hand, look at those who glorify terrorists.
More than 68,000 people have been killed since rebel groups began fighting Indian forces in 1989 and in a subsequent Indian military crackdown.
“All those who are killing innocents”.
“I want to tell these youths that this country will never tolerate terrorism, this country will never tolerate terrorists and this country will never bow down to terrorists”, he said. Return to the mainstream.
“We have to take everyone together be it Dalits, tribals, oppressed and people from the financially weaker section of the society”.

The octogenarian Chief Minister said the Baloch community in Balochistan was also subjected to atrocities, which should be avoided.
