Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday asked Pakistan to wage an honest battle against terrorism, saying India is ready to help it but Islamabad's intentions are deceitful, and cautioned the neighbouring country that it will disintegrate if it does nor mend its ways.
Addressing election rallies in Haryana, the BJP leader also asked Pakistan to stop its Kashmir rant, saying no power in the world can separate Kashmir from India.
I want to tell our neighbour to stop (aiding) terrorism, wage an honest battle to fight terrorism, and if they are not able to fight terrorism, they can take help of neighbour India, we will extend cooperation to them to fight terrorism, Singh said.
"However, Pakistan's intentions are deceitful," he said.
Singh hit out at Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan for his statement that he will continue to rake up Kashmir issue on international forums
Forget it. Don't even think about Kashmir. You have paid the price. In 1947, you divided India into two because of two-nation theory.... In 1971, Pakistan got divided into two
When we targeted terrorist launch pads, we did not attack Pakistan Army or attack people of Pakistan.... we did not raise any question on their sovereignty," he said
