Indo-Pak relationship will not be same again and India’s patience with the neighbour is running out, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad today said as the government weighs its options following the deadly Uri terror attack.
As part of the plans, the Director General of Military Operations will hand over all the evidence linking Pakistan’s involvement in Uri attack to his Pakistani counterpart shortly.
Italian Defense Minister Roberta Pinotti called on President Mamnoon Hussain here on Monday and discussed matters of mutual interest, overall regional situation and Indian atrocities in Occupied Kashmir. “More than 100 people have died and thousands injured during the recent episode of protest and on-going curfew in the occupied territory over the past 73 days”.
France, meanwhile, is one of the countries most badly hit by Islamist terror – a problem that India has been facing for years.
At the United Nations, the two countries are expected to raise the alleged rights violations in Kashmir and Balochistan. The central leadership also hoped that Uri terror attack won’t be politicised for brownie points.
Earlier, Mr Singh said on Twitter that “there are definite and conclusive indications that the perpetrators of the Uri attack were highly trained, heavily armed and specially equipped”. However, later, NDTV said that soldiers were asleep when the attackers set their tent-like barracks on fire. “Instructed to take firm action against those responsible”, Parrikar said in a tweet.
Das paid tribute to the martyrs and said his government is with their families in this hour of grief and their martyrdom will not go waste, an statement said.

Others say India should close its skies to Pakistani flights or hold military exercises near the Pakistan border.
