PM Modi slams Pakistan, calls it a 'synonymous' of word terrorism
Yavatmal (Maharashtra), Feb 16 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday continued his attack on Pakistan for his complicity on the issue of terror and said the western neighbour is on the verge of bankruptcy and is now known all over as an 'alternative name for terrorism'.
"The other name of terrorism is Pakistan today," Prime Minister said assuring the nation that a befitting reply will be given to the perpetrators of the February 14 dastardly act at Pulwama.
"How those responsible for Pulwama attack and the hands behind will be punished, the strategy, scale, time and location of the punishment will be decided our brave Jawans," he said adding the country feels proud of them and also rests immense faith on them.
"The sacrifices made by our forces and CRPF personnel will not go waste. Perpetrators will be punished definitely," he said.
Maintaining that the anguish of the country and CRPF force in particular is understandable and hence the armed forces have been given free hand.
"Dharyia rakhe (Please keep patience.... the wrong doers will be punished)," Modi said.
"A country that came into existence after the partition of India, a country where terrorism is sponsored and promoted, it is a country which is on the brink of economic collapse and bankruptcy- that country has become synonymous with the word terrorism today," he said.
"The martyrdom of our soldiers will not go in vain. The crime committed by the terrorist groups - no matter how much they try to hide, they will be punished," he asserted.
In one of the worst terror attacks on security personnel in recent times, at least 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were martyred and 14 others injured when a Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) militant (suicide bomber) rammed an IED laden vehicle into the forces' convoy at Awantipora in south Kashmir district of Pulwama on Srinagar-Jammu national highway on Thursday afternoon.
JeM has claimed responsibility for the Fidayeen (suicide) attack even as India slammed Pakistan for giving full freedom to the militant group in its territory to prepare for attacking Indian securitymen.
"This terror group is led by the international terrorist Masood Azhar, who has been given full freedom by Government of Pakistan to operate and expand his terror infrastructure in territories under the control of Pakistan and to carry out attacks in India and elsewhere with impunity," said India in a statement.
