Will fire 10 bullets in response to one: Hansraj Ahir

Pakistan has a twisted mindset, Union Minister of State for Home Hansraj Ahir on Friday said, and asserted India will respond with 10 bullets for every bullet fired by the neighbouring country.

"Sending terrorists into India, violating ceasefire has become their (Pakistan's) nature. They have a twisted mindset. Be it our home ministry, defence ministry or the Jammu and Kashmir police, everybody has to keep co-ordinating and give reply to Pakistan's misadventures," Ahir said, speaking to reporters in Yavatmal, Maharashtra.

"The home minister has said we should not fire the first bullet. But if one bullet is fired from their side, we should respond with 10," he said.

Two civilians and a BSF jawan were today killed and 23 others, including 2 BSF men, were injured in a heavy mortar shelling by Pakistan along the International Border in three districts of Jammu and Kashmir, officials said.
