Minister of home affairs Rajnath Singh is calling Pakistan a terrorist state for the horrible attack on Sunday.

Allegedly Pakistan militants attacked an army camp in the garrison town of Uri, which took away 17 Indian lives. In the counter attack that lasted several hours, even four militants were killed. Uri is about 102 km away from Srinagar, the capital of Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir. The town is near the de facto border between India and Pakistan in the disputed region.

Reacting to the issue, Rajnath Singh tweeted, "Pakistan is a terrorist state and it should be identified and isolated as such. There are definite and conclusive indications that the perpetrators of Uri attack were highly trained, heavily armed and specially equipped. I am deeply disappointed with Pakistan’s continued and direct support to terrorism and terrorist groups."

These tweets went viral among the Pakistanis who countered the home affairs ministers criticizing him in all the possible ways. Even Defence Minister Khawaja M. Asif tweeted, "Indian Army is massacring Kashmiris; as you sow, so shall you reap. Don't rule out inside job to malign Azadi movement, by blaming Pakistan. By blaming Pak for Uri &any attempt to escalate tension to deflect attention from state terrorism in Kashmir will prove expensive for Indians."
