NEW DELHI: Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar today said the Government is working towards ensuring that the perpetrators of the deadly Uri attack are punished as it will “not sleep over” terror being pushed into India from across the border.
He also dismissed reports about Pakistan’s threat of use of tactical nukes, saying that “empty vessel makes more sound” and asserted that steps will be taken to ensure that incidents like Uri strike are not repeated.
“We take proper reading of everything and I don’t think Prime Minister’s initial words that ‘those responsible will be punished’, will go as a mere statement. How to punish, that is for us to work out. We are quite serious about it,” Parrikar said.
He was responding to questions about what India’s response to the attack will be.
To a question on reports about Pakistan’s threat of use of tactical nuclear weapons, Parrikar said the person who has strength, usually makes less noise. (AGENCIES)
