Jammu: Sending a clear message to Pakistan to stop meddling in India’s affairs, Home Minister Rajnath Singh today said the neighbouring country must stop its nefarious activities if it wants its “own welfare”.
“If Pakistan wants its own welfare, then it must stop meddling in the affairs of other countries. It must stop all its nefarious activities aimed towards India,” he said addressing a Jan Kalyan Parv in Jammu.
Giving a strong warning to those who want to harm India’s pride, integrity and sovereignty, he said that the country would give a befitting reply to such people.
“Those who want to harm the pride, integrity and sovereignty of the country will be given a befitting reply. We trust our army, our paramilitary and our forces. No question can be raised on their integrity and love for the country,” he said.
Singh said India always extended a hand of friendship towards its neighbouring countries including Pakistan, but Pakistan always resorted to backstabbing.
“Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee extended a hand of friendship towards Pakistan, but it stabbed in the back. Then when Prime Minister Narendra Modi took over the office a year ago, he invited all the heads of the state of the neighbouring countries to the swearing-in ceremony including the Pakistan Prime Minister,” he said.
He said that Pakistan must think over its actions as it has not been reciprocating the positive response of India towards it.
