Total Views |
New Delhi, April 6: A day after the Guardian report claimed that India is killing terrorists on foreign soil, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that India will enter Pakistan to eliminate anyone who escapes over the border after carrying out terrorist activities in the country.
In an interview broadcaster to CNN News18 on Friday, Rajnath Singh reacted after The Guardian published a report claiming that Indian intelligence agencies had killed about 20 people in Pakistan since 2020 as part of a broader plan to eliminate terrorists residing on foreign soil.
“"If terrorists from the neighbouring country try to disturb the peace in Bharat or try to carry out terror activities in Bharat, we will give them a befitting reply. (Koi bhi terrorist hamare parosi desh se yadi hamare Bharat ko disturb karneki koshish karega, yahan par yadi atankbadi harkate karega, toh uska muh tod jawab denge)," Rajnath Singh told CNN News 18 when asked about The Guardian report.”

““If they run away to Pakistan, we will enter Pakistan to kill them (Yadi woh bhag kar Pakistan mein jayega, toh Pakistan mein ghus kar marenge)… Prime Minister Narendra Modi has spoken the truth… India has the capability and Pakistan has also started understanding that.” ”
He also underlined that New Delhi wants to have good relations with its neighbour and how India has never attacked any country or even occupied an inch of any country.

““India wants to maintain cordial relations with its neighbour. Look at our history. We have never attacked any country or even occupied an inch of the territory of any other country. This is India’s character…. if someone tries intimidating India by fomenting terror on our soil, they will not be spared.” ”
Speaking about Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir he pointed out that the people of PoK want to merge with India.
““Be assured that the people of PoK will themselves demand that they be with India. You must have seen that there were a few demonstrations there since they want to merge with India. After the abrogation of Article 370, normalcy has returned to Kashmir and development has been fast-tracked." ”
Guardian Report and India's Response
Earlier in the day, the Ministry of External Affairs responded to The Guardian over its report, calling the allegations "false and malicious anti-India propaganda".
The government also underlined a previous statement by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, in which he said that targeted killings in other countries were "not the policy of the government of India".
According to The Guardian report, documents shared by some Pakistani investigators indicated India's intelligence agency, RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) allegedly carried out 20 such targeted killings on foreign soil as part of an emboldened approach to national security after the 2019 Pulwama terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 40 Indian soldiers.
