And after that too, we have given an appropriate response to other cowardly attacks. It was such a powerful response that some days back, finally they called us that please stop this we are pleading with you.”
He further added that in response Indian armed forces told Pakistan that they have no problem in stopping but they need to stop too and only then there would be no firing on the border.

Parrikar comments in Panaji comes just a week after three Indian soldiers were killed at LoC with the attackers even beheading one of the soldiers.
Further, Pakistan, in the past has alleged that it is the Indian forces who have killed several of their civilians along with few of their soldiers at the border and that too in unprovoked attacks.
