Home Minister Rajnath Singh speaks on Pak-sponsored terrorism at the SARRC meeting in Islamabad.

Rajnath arrived in Islamabad yesterday to attend the SAARC Interior Ministers' conference and was flown to a five star hotel in a helicopter amid security concerns arising out of protests led by Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeeds Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) activists, a front organisation of terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT).

The home minister said without naming Burhan Wani that, "There should be no glorification or eulogising of terrorists as martyrs. There are no good terrorists or bad terrorists. Mere condemnation of terrorism and terrorists is not enough. There must be strongest action against nations that support terror."



Activists of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Hizbul Mujahideen, United Jihad Council (UJC) and other such group protested to denounce Singh's visit with Saeed leading a rally in Lahore where he attacked Pakistani government for hosting the Indian Home Minister, holding him responsible for the ongoing Kashmir unrest.

"We were not expecting that the Pakistani rulers would welcome Singh who is responsible for the killings of innocent Kashmiris," PTI quoted Saeed.
