“Terrorists have made 17 attempts to infiltrate across the border in the last eight months but our brave soldiers have foiled them. The Uri attack has been carried out due to this frustration. This is a long war which has been forced on us by our neighbour. Uri is only its transit destination and not the final outcome. The final victory will be ours,” he said.
“The country is committed to giving a strong reply to this Pakistan-sponsored terrorism,” he said.
His remarks came a day after Modi tore into Pakistan over the Uri attack, saying India will not forget it but indicated that his government’s focus will be on isolating Pakistan diplomatically.
The party fully supports the government’s diplomatic efforts to expose Pakistan, he said, adding that it has succeeded in showing the country’s true face to the world.
Shah noted that Modi has assured the people that those behind the incident will be punished. “However long is the battle, we will fight it and the victory will be ours.”
He appealed to the people and other political parties to support the Centre and the Army in this battle.
The world is shocked at Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s reference to Hizbul Mujahideen militant Burhan Wani as a “peace-loving youth” and it is an evidence of that country s involvement in terrorism, he said.
India has long been a victim of Pakistan’s sponsorship of terrorism and faced several small and big terror attacks in the last many years.
“Pakistan has become a centre of global terrorism,” he said.
