Rajya Sabha member Amar Singh today urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take strong action against Pakistan in the wake of the mutilation of two Indian soldiers.

"A strong reaction is needed from a prime minister who does not care about political fallout at the cost of national esteem," he told PTI.

The expelled Samajwadi Party leader is in Wagah today as part of a parliamentary delegation vising Indo-Pak border posts.

He said despite attempts by former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Modi to improve relations with Pakistan, Islamabad's attitude has not changed.

Singh also slammed China for using Pakistan as its "special purpose vehicle" to create "chaos" in India.
 

He welcomed the decision of the government to allow the visit of Dalai Lama to Arunachal Pradesh overruling objections by Beijing.
