Asserting Pakistan was not "mending its ways", Home Minister Rajnath Singh today sent out a strong message to it over the continuing spate of unprovoked firing incidents along the border saying the government will never seek answers from Indian forces on "how they chose to retaliate" to such actions.
Delivering the keynote speech at the Border Security Forces' 16th investiture ceremony here, he said, without naming Pakistan, that it was an "irony" that despite India wanting peace with its neighbours, a particular country was not "mending its ways."
The home minister said the Modi government's ambitious plan to completely seal its borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh using technology gadgets and 'smart fences' is a "work in progress."
