India giving befitting reply to Pak's nefarious acts: Rajnath

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said India is giving a befitting reply to the nefarious activities of Pakistan.

Singh, who was here to attend a programme at Rohilkhand University, said bilateral talks and terrorism cannot go hand in hand.

"India is giving a befitting reply to the nefarious activities of Pakistan... Talks and terrorism cannot go on concurrently," he told news persons.

Replying to a question on withdrawal of cases against stone pelters in Kashmir, he said it is being done only in "cases of first-time offenders".

"The government does not want to keep someone confined in jail ... Some of them have come back to the mainstream... But action will be taken against anyone who indulges in wrong tactics," he said.

Asked about the Punjab National Bank fraud, he said "every paisa will be realised and the culprits will be caught".
