[DAWN] The interior ministers of both Pakistain and India made critical remarks apparently aimed at each other’s governments on the second day of a Saarc conference here on Thursday, as tensions between the two neighbouring countries run high in the aftermath of weeks-long violence in India-held Kashmire.In his address to the Saarc interior ministers’ conference, India’s home minister made a direct jibe aimed at the Pak government for its strong condemnation of the killing of Kashmiri separatist leader Burhan Wani by Indian forces.
"There are no good snuffies or bad terrorists," said Rajnath Singh in his address, referring to earlier criticism the Indian state has levelled against Pakistain. "There should be no glorification or eulogising of snuffies as deaders."
Singh called for "strongest action not only against snuffies or organizations but also against those individuals, organizations and nations which support terror."
