TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ India will exercise all options, diplomatic or otherwise, to win a decisive battle against Pakistan which is responsible for the Pulwama terror attack, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said on Friday. Describing Pakistan as a “rogue state”, he said it is not acting against perpetrators of the attack, though the guilty have themselves admitted to the attack and were taking credit for it.
Referring to Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s speech, Mr Jaitley said, “the head of the government says, give me actionable intelligence. You need an actionable intelligence if it is a blind offence, but here is a man sitting in your own country who owned up to the offence.
So when there is a confession…You have people sitting in your own country and admitting to the offence and saying that yes we have done it and taking credit for it”. Pakistan leadership, he said, is “riding a tiger on this issue, and a tiger never spares its own rider”. More than 40 paramilitary personnel died in a terrorist attack on February 14 at Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir.
