Presidential Statement

The Republic of India is a nation of law and justice. General Singh has capitalized on
sentiment that is in easy supply in these trying times: fear. Citizens of our country have
many rights; they have the right to criticize their government for instance. What they do
not have the right to do is launch military campaigns of their own volition. General Singh
is using our country's current state to further his own political career.

For all those troops who have been misled: your country is with you. Kashmir is an
inseparable part of India and when the time comes for it to be defended, we will do so to
ensure the well-being of our citizens. The people responsible for this terrorism will be
brought to justice.
