PM accuses Pak of conspiring to spill blood across Asia

In a blunt warning to Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the Uri attack will not be forgotten as he accused it of conspiring to spill blood across Asia by exporting terror.

Launching a blistering attack on Pakistan in his first public address after last Sunday’s deadly terror attack, he said the sacrifice of 18 soldiers will not go in vain while all out efforts will be made to isolate that country globally.

“Terrorists should hear out clearly that India will never forget the Uri attack... I want to tell the leadership of Pakistan that the sacrifice of our 18 jawans will not go in vain,” Modi told a largely-attended public meeting on the Kozhikode beach held on the sidelines of the BJP national council meet.

He said while countries in Asia are working to make the 21st century Asia’s, Pakistan is engaged in a conspiracy of causing bloodshed across the continent by sponsoring terrorism and killing innocents.

Asserting that Pakistan was behind terror incidents in Afghanistan, Bangladesh besides India, he said “across the world wherever a terrorist incident happens you will find that either terrorists had gone from there (Pakistan) or come to live there like Osama-bin Laden.”

He indicated that India’s efforts will be directed at isolating Pakistan diplomatically, saying it has already succeeded in this regard and will speed up measures in this regard.

The Prime Minister, who has been having meetings with top ministers, BJP leaders and service chiefs in the last few days, however, did not spell out the nature of what India’s response would be.

Modi said India had never bowed to terror and will never do so in future and will strive to defeat it.

“India has never bowed to terrorism, nor will it ever. It will pause only after defeating it,” he said.
