Terrorism important issue for India

For example, if you were invited for this meeting, then you came here happily wearing your best clothes. I could also go to your house and put a gun on your head and bring you here to talk. My problem is that if the neighbor says that I am going to do cross-border terrorism and then you have to come to talk, then I will have trouble talking. He blamed the United States for the problems with Pakistan. also held responsible.
The minister said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s determination that he will not allow cross-border terrorism to be taken as a normal thing has helped a lot in shaping India’s Pakistan policy since 2014.
