Home Minister Rajnath Singh Thursday said at the SAARC summit in Islamabad “There should be strongest action not only against terrorists or their organisations but also against individuals, organisations and nations who support terrorism.”
In his speech Singh added that “there should be no glorification of terrorists as martyrs” – a reference to the Pakistan government lionizing Hizbul Mujahideen militant commander Burhan Wani, who was killed in south Kashmir on July 8.
Singh’s visit to Islamabad has been clouded by visible signs of bitterness between the two countries.
