New Delhi: Even as Pakistan has been exploiting Manohar Parrikar's comment that 'terrorists have to be neutralised through terrorists' to target India, the Defence Minister has yet again fired a salvo at the neighbouring country. Refusing to comment on Pakistan's assertions, Parrikar sarcastically said," Pakistan ko mirchi lagi hai aur wo bhi Andhra ki. I don't want to say anything about what Pakistan feels."
His comments come on a day when Pakistan yet again claimed that Kashmir can't be separated from it. "Kashmir is an unfinished agenda of partition,Pak & Kashmir are inseparable. While we wish peace, stability in region,we want Kashmir's Just Resolution in the light of UN resolutions & as per aspirations of Kashmiris to bring lasting peace in region," tweeted Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Major General Asim Saleem Bajwa quoting Army chief General Raheel Sharif.
The war of words is being played even as there have been repeated ceasefire violations along the Line of Control. During an encounter which took place for over 24 hours on Monday, Pakistani troops had violated the ceasefire by firing automatic weapons and rocket projectile grenades on forward posts along the LoC in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir.
Commenting on the repeating intrusions from Pakistan, Union Minister and former Army chief General VK Singh said, "Unfortunately Pakistan has been a violating human rights. Any war you take with Pakistan, there has been a great violation. It should apologise for all violation," he said.
Congress too said that the statement by Pakistan on Kashmir is shocking. "The statement by Pakistan Army Chief is indeed shocking. I think PM Narendra Modi and his government must take note of such provocative statements that are made by Pakistan on a daily basis interfering with the internal affairs of India. It is arising on account of there being no policy of Modi government to handle and tackle Pakistan.
