New Delhi, June 27: He also said there
are different types of forces operating in
Pakistan but India engages only with a democratically-elected system.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today asserted that India's efforts for engagement with
Pakistan is on with peace as supreme objective
but the forces have "full freedom to answer
back" in whatever manner they have to.
He also said there are different types of
forces operating in Pakistan but India engages only with a democratically-elected system.
To a question about his "uncompromising
approach" towards Pakistan in May 2014 and
about the killing of eight CRPF soldiers near
Srinagar on Saturday, Modi said India India
has always wanted friendly ties with its neighbours over which there can be no debate.
"Those who have to work from the table,
will work from the table and those who have
to work at the border, will work at border with
full strength.
"Each one will fulfil the responsibility en-
trusted to them. And our jawans are fulfilling
their responsibilities. It's true that pressure
on terrorists has increased, their schemes are
proving unsuccessful.
"The intent with which they move forward
are foiled and they have to face major challenges. It is because of this disappointment
that such incidents are taking place and our
jawans are risking their lives and protecting
the country. We are very proud of our Jawans,"
he said.
Modi said India will have to be "alert and
conscious" all the time but wondered with
whom in Pakistan red lines can be drawn for
conducting talks--with the elected government
or "other actors".
"Look, there are different types of forces
operating in Pakistan. But the government
only engages with a democratically-elected
system. Our effort for that engagement is
continuing. But our supreme objective is peace.
Our supreme objective is to protect India's
interests.
"We keep making efforts towards that objective and sometimes our efforts are successful. As far as meetings and talks are concerned,
we signalled right from the day I took oath
and sent invitations for the oath taking ceremony, that we seek friendly relations but
without compromising on our interests.
"And that is why I have said that my country's soldiers have full freedom to answer back
in whatever manner they have to and they will
keep doing that," he told Times Now in an
interview.
Asked what would be the 'laxman rekha'
for talks with Pakistan, Modi said "The first
thing is that with whom in Pakistan you will

Army, CRPF argue over who
killed Pampore attackers
Agencies
New Delhi, June 27: Hardly
had the guns fallen silent after fierce
fighting during Saturday's ambush
of a CRPF contingent by militants
in Pampore when a row erupted between the paramilitary force and
the army over whose personnel killed
the attackers.
While the army claimed to have
killed the two militants in retaliatory fire, the CRPF lodged a protest
against it for "wrongly claiming
credit".
The CRPF, which has been involved
in counter-militancy operations in
the Kashmir Valley, alleged some
army troopers arrived at the scene
after the encounter was over and
started clicking selfies with the bodies of the slain militants. Within no
time, the army's Northern Command
tweeted," Army kills two (militants)
who fired upon CRPF convoy at

KG News Desk
Srinagar, June 27: The Comptroller and
Auditor General has pulled up the the Jammu and
Kashmir government for "undue delay" in implementation of National Food Security Act and also
criticised the public distribution department for
"not reviewing" earlier the list of BPL families.
Taking into consideration the census figures
of 2011, the CAG report tabled in the state Assembly here today said 26 per cent of the population
in the state remained out of Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS) coverage.
The shortfall in allocation vis-a-vis requirement
ranged between 31 and 36 per cent in respect of
wheat, and seven and 32 per cent in respect of rice
under various schemes, it said.
Noting the "undue delay" in the implementation
of National Food Security Act (NFSA), the report
said the department had sought six months extension from the Centre which lapsed in October 2014
but "failed to implement" it till March 2015.
The report also came down heavily on the Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution (CAPD)
Department for not reviewing the list of BPL
families leading to issuing of food grains worth
Rs 17.89 crore to ineligible families while depriving eligible BPL families.
