Pak a terrorist state, should be isolated: Rajnath after Uri

In a strongly worded statement, Home Minister Rajnath Singh said the terrorists who carried out the attack in the Army Brigade Headquarters in Uri were highly trained and heavily armed and vowed to hunt down those behind it

Expressing his deep disappointment with Pakistan's continued and direct support to terrorism and terrorist groups, he said, "Pakistan is a terrorist state and it should be identified and isolated as such"

The meeting was attended by National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, top officials of Ministries of Home and Defence and Army and paramilitary forces

"There are definite and conclusive indications that the perpetrators of Uri attack were highly trained, heavily armed and specially equipped," he said

The Home Minister said those behind this terror incident would be brought to justice

Singh said he was deeply distressed by the terror incident and the loss of 17 soldiers

"My heartfelt condolences to the families of the martyred soldier''.
