“We strongly condemn the cowardly terror attack in Uri”.
Speaking with vigour, Modi said, “India has never bowed down to terrorism in the past and will strive to defeat it”. “There has been no development under their rule”, Mayawati said before adding that it was time for Modi to “introspect his government’s record till date”. Will not spare Uri attackers. He also accused Pakistan of trying to destabilise Asia by exporting terrorism.
When 1965 war (with Pakistan) broke out and Lal Bahadur Shastri was leading the country, a similar anger was there in the country.
Addressing the BJP national conclave in Kozhikode, PM Modi said, “There is only one country in Asia that indulges in terrorism and exporting it around the world. We need to take concrete action against Pakistan to ensure that such incidents are not repeated”, Mayawati said in Lucknow during a press conference.
“Army chief General Dalbir Singh, Air Force chief Marshal Arup Raha and vice chief of Naval Staff vice admiral Karambir Singh today called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence”, the broadcaster said.
After the public meeting, Modi will chair a meeting of top party functionaries. “Pakistan is fully prepared to meet any military challenge from India”. I want to tell you that India wants to fight with Pakistan.
Modi spent a large part of his forceful speech on the issue of terrorism with specific reference to the Uri incident.
An attack on an army base in Uri was the result of “terrorists’ frustration” with the government’s strategic and aggressive response that foiled 17 infiltration attempts and killed 117 intruders in the past eight months, BJP president Amit Shah said on Sunday. “There is no justification for atrocities on unarmed Kashmiris in (India)-held Kashmir and the Kashmir dispute should be solved in accordance with aspirations of the Kashmiris”, the report quoted Yu as saying.
“Ask your leaders and your rulers, why they talk of Kashmir when they are not able to manage PoK (Azad Kashmir), when they could not keep East Pakistan with them, when they cannot manage Sindh, nor the Pakhtuns, leave alone Balochistan?”
Modi said a Class 11 student named Harshvardhan who was disturbed by the Uri attack had written to him saying he wanted to do something for the country.
Lashing out at the neighboring country, Modi said its leaders used to say that they will fight for 1000 years with India and wondered where they were now.

He said every country is holding one nation responsible for terrorism as only that country in Asia is a safe haven for terrorists.
