Pakistan denies the allegations and says India has not provided adequate proof to support its claims. “He also said that his government is ready to accept Pakistan’s challenge of war, well I want to remind him that it is the UPA government which has fought three wars against Pakistan and won”, he said.

URI ATTACK REACTION TO ATROCITIES: NAWAZ The terror attack on an Indian army camp in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir could be a backlash to the “atrocities” in Indian-administered Kashmir, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has said. His reference was to the wide belief that Sharif’s United Nations speech was written by Rawalpindi, the Pakistan army headquarters.
Probably anxious that he was sounding a tad too dove-ish to his listeners who were expecting a clenched fist and sharp tongue-lashing for Pakistan, he had this: “Sacrifice of our 18 jawans will not go in vain”. According to Dobby, India will try to isolate Pakistan internationally. We will force you to be left alone in the world.
The PM said, “Pakistan’s public should ask its leaders as to why despite getting Independence together what is the reason India exports software and Pakistan exports terrorism”.
Modi spent a large part of his forceful speech on the issue of terrorism with specific reference to the Uri incident.
“And terrorists should clearly hear out that India will never forget the Uri attack”, he added.
PM Modi also said that “terrorism is the enemy of humanity” and people need to join their hands to defeat terrorism.
Post Uri attack by militants that killed 18 Indian soldiers, some of them in their sleep, there were calls for a retaliatory attack on Pakistan.
“All of Asia is looking to the 21st century with hope, except one country, which is busy exporting terrorism, blood and mayhem in the region and beyond”. He added that a day will come when people of Pakistan will go against their own Government to fight against terrorism. Today from here, I want to talk to the people of Pakistan directly. “Keeping that in mind I want to ask a few things”.
The rally, held on the first day of the national council meeting, was expected to contain a strong message to Pakistan and address the outrage both in the country and Sangh cadre, but his speech went much beyond a garden variety assurance of action. The NTRO is reportedly attempting to track the route taken by the terrorists for crossing over the Line of Control. He said, India is being recognized the world over as the fastest growing economy.

He devoted a significant portion of his speech on the Indian security forces and their record of fighting terror, assuring them that “1.25 billion Indians back our men in uniform”. Although Pakistan military officials stated publicly that the maneuvers were routine, the Post reported that public speculation was that the heightened military presence in Islamabad, the nation’s capital, was anything but routine. Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag, Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha and Vice Chief of Naval Staff Vice Admiral K B Singh met the Prime Minister. Navy chief Admiral Sunil Lanba is not in Delhi.
