Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has stated that there was enough evidence that the Gurdaspur attack has been carried out from “across the border” since evidence of the same “now appears to be overwhelmingly conclusive.”
Home Minister Rajnath Singh also spoke at length about the Gurdaspur attack in the Rajya Sabha, claiming that the attackers had entered the country from Pakistan through the Ravi river. He also hinted at information received through GPS, in his explosive claim.
Any terror activity from across the border will be defeated.
