Prime Minister Narendra Modi should focus on finding solutions to attacks like the one on the Indian Army’s Uri base instead of offering Pakistan advice, said Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati on Sunday.

People of the country are “upset” with the BJP government due to terrorist attacks on soldiers and want such incidents to end, Mayawati said and lamented that “PM has failed to give any assurance to people of the country that such acts will not be repeated and our borders are safe., there will be no terrorist inflitration.and none of your soldiers will have to sacrifice their lives due to terrorism”. Advising Pakistan was a “political conspiracy” and people of UP and Punjab should be aware of it, she said. In the same breath, Modi challenged Pakistan to “fight a war on poverty and unemployment and see who wins first, India or Pakistan”.
“Wherever there is news of terror, there is news that either the terrorist first went to this country or later, after the incident, like Osama Bin Laden”, he said addressing a rally in southern Kerala state.

Zakaria said the worldwide community had taken notice of the blatant human rights violations, with concerns expressed by several countries as well as United Nations and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
Intensifying his attack further, Prime Minister Modi said the Pakistani leaders speak out addresses written by terrorists and talk about Kashmir.

Pakistan and India have “made some important progress in that pursuit, and we’re hopeful that they’ll be able to continue to make the kind of progress that will bring greater stability to what is a rather volatile region of the world”, Earnest said.
