00:00First of all, I would like to compliment the Indian Air Force

00:03and the integrated anti-missile theater defense system

00:09which they have put in place.

00:11That the attacks which were launched by Pakistan

00:15in the entire northwestern theater,

00:20they were successfully neutralized.

00:22The Indian Air Force and the people who manned

00:26these anti-missile systems deserve our highest compliments.

00:32Number two, Pakistan is clearly escalating

00:35and they are trying to brazen it out.

00:40So therefore, rather than learning a lesson

00:43that the sponsorship of terror will not go unpunished

00:47and there will be a punitive and coercive response,

00:50they want to brazen it out.

00:53And so therefore, if that is the trajectory they have adopted

00:55obviously it will have to be met in the same coin

01:00and that's precisely what is happening.

01:02It is in Pakistan's interest to realize

01:05that eventually terror as an instrument of state policy

01:09has an expiry date

01:12and Pakistan is well beyond that expiry date.

01:16its own internal social cohesion is in a complete mess.

01:23The economy of Pakistan is down a rat hole

01:27and therefore under those circumstances

01:30if it continues down this path

01:32then it is only going down

01:36the inevitable trail of its own destruction.

01:41But how do you see

01:42on the international community

01:44the J.D. and the vice president of the United States

01:47is saying that

01:47what only they can do

01:50is to tell both the countries

01:52to de-escalate

01:53because they can't do anything more than that

01:57and how do you see this statement

02:00in regard to our country?

02:02See, the India-Pakistan dynamic

02:05is a bilateral dynamic.

02:07That is what the similar agreement says.

02:10India has never accepted third-party mediation.

02:13India will never accept third-party mediation.

02:16What India will and should accept

02:18is that Pakistan first and foremost

02:21needs to ensure

02:24that its soil is not used

02:27for exporting terror.

02:28That's a commitment

02:29which General Musharraf had given

02:31way back in January 2004

02:33when Mr. Vajpayee had gone to Islamabad

02:37that Pakistan will not allow its soil

02:43to be used for the sponsorship of terror.

02:45But Pakistan has never honoured that commitment.

02:48So, Pakistan has to secede

02:53from exporting terror.

02:57They have to dismantle

02:58the terror infrastructure,

03:00the semi-state actors' network

03:04which they have spawned.

03:05And number two,

03:06they need to hand over

03:07all those terrorists to India

03:08who have been indicted

03:10in terrorist activities

03:12and who need to be brought to justice.

03:14So, Pakistan,

03:33I'm going to be with you.

03:36I'm going to be with you.
