Indian Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has said that registration of a First Infor-mation Report (FIR) in the Pathankot attack by Pakistan is not enough. "Registration of a case is merely a step ahead, but it won't do. There should be serious investigation. Our effort is that they should take legal action to our satisfaction," Parrikar said in an interview with NDTV. Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) of Punjab police in Gujranwala on Friday registered an FIR against the alleged attackers of the Pathankot airbase in India and their abettors, kicking off a formal investigation into the attack which had claimed the lives of at least seven Indian troops and four militants in January this year.
Talking about the mutual demilitarisation of the Siachen glacier, Parrikar said no such question arises, noting that India occupies the higher peaks. Parrikar, who was banned from speaking to the media for six months for issuing controversial statements last year, reasserted that "India will hit back at terror groups in their own language." adding that "those who inflicted pain on India will have to pay," he said. "When, what and how it will be done will depend on our convenience," he said.
