“This practice should be stopped.”

“From the killing of over 40 Pakistani nationals on Indian soil in the 2007 Samjhauta Express tragedy to the arrest of serving Indian Navy Commander Kulbhushan Yadav inside Pakistan in 2016, evidence of India’s involvement in terrorism and subversion is mounting. are undeniable.
