The Uri suicide attack that left 17 soldiers dead deals a body blow to the already frayed India-Pakistan ties, with the government under pressure for a robust response to one of the deadliest strike on an army base in Kashmir. “The government will not be found wanting in its response to show Pakistan as a sponsor of terrorism,” a source said.

He then called for isolating the “terrorist state” Pakistan. “Modi’s response to the Uri attack could help shape his political legacy”.
