March 02, 2019 20:31

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said the country was ready to extend support to Pakistan to deal with the menace of terrorism on the neighbour's soil.

"Not only India, many other countries are hit by terrorism today but I want to tell you... have confidence... this will not go on forever...the prime minister has taken a decision that a decisive battle should be launched for its (terrorism) end and it has already begun," he said.

"If Pakistan thinks it does not have the strength to deal

with terrorism, it can seek the help of its neighbouring country India.

"Pakistan will either have to wipe out terrorism from its

soil on its own or else such a situation will be created that

terror bases will be wiped out from Pakistan and no power will be able to stop this," the home minister asserted.

"India has shown to the world that it has the strength to

not only strike from its soil, if required, we can also strike on the soil of other country as we have this strength," he said.
