Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday took potshots at Pakistan in the wake of the escalation in terrorist strikes along the Line of Control (LoC) and dared Islamabad not to indulge in proxy war but have the guts to take India head on.

Addressing a rally in Uttar Pradesh's Hardoi district, Singh stated that if someone wants to fight then it must be done boldly rather than attacking from behind.

"There is nothing like good or bad terrorist, a terrorist is a terrorist.The courageous is one who is ready to fight face to face," he said.

The Home Minister also expressed his ire over the recent terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.

As per reports, the casualties suffered by the Indian Army in Jammu and Kashmir in 2016 is almost equal to the total combined number of soldiers killed in the last two years.
