(File)Pakistan-sponsored terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir is a cumulative effect of a series of misdoings in last 60 years beginning from the mishandling by former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Union minister Jitendra Singh said in New Delhi, on Saturday. He said the recent surgical strike inside Pakistan territory is one of the examples of the decisive steps taken by the NDA government against terrorism sponsored by the neighbouring country. The Minister said Pakistan-sponsored terrorism in the context of Jammu and Kashmir is a cumulative effect of a series of misdoings of the past six decades beginning from the mishandling by the first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, an official release said. “This itself is a vindication of the kind of redemption which the government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has succeeded in bringing about in just two-and-a-half years,” said Singh, Minister of State in Prime Minister’s Office. Singh said, decisions like surgical strike and remonetisation have hit the “Achilles’ heel” of Pakistan and these are some of the decisive steps which no government in the past dared to take.
