Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju alleged here on thursday that Pakistan involvement in terrorism has been proved with the capture and arrest of a terrorist in Jammu and Kashmir's Rafiabad area after an encounter with security forces.

"It will be great effort on our part to really move and make it categorically very clear that Pakistan's involvement is not an allegation, but a reality" said Rijiju told ANI

Rijiju further added that the capturing of a terrorist alive was a great effort by security agencies.

A 22-year-old Pakistani terrorist was caught after a 20-hour-long gun battle with security forces in North Kashmir. This is the second capture of a Pakistani terrorist this month.

Pakistani terrorist Mohammad Naved was captured earlier this month in Udhampur, Jammu.
