India is giving befitting reply to Pakistan's nefarious activities: Rajnath Singh

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said India is giving a befitting reply to the nefarious activities of Pakistan. Singh, who was in Bareilly to attend a programme at Rohilkhand University, also said 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 reporters.   

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 caught for the first time".   

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

When asked about the Punjab National Bank scam, he said "every paisa will be realised and the culprits will be caught".
