Madhav called out Pakistan for inciting terrorism in India. He stated that "Yesterday evening I just returned from Srinagar, for the last 48 hours, relentless shelling from Pakistan is on, in an effort to push terrorists into Kashmir. Our forces had to go and destroy terror launch pads once again."

'Terror infrastructure has become a global problem'
Speaking at the Forum, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National Secretary, Ram Madhav urged the entire international community to act against terrorism. According to him, the terror infrastructure in Pakistan is not only an issue for India, but an issue globally as well. Speaking about the international community advising India, Madhav said, "There was a time when many would come to India to advise us. But today nobody is doing that because it has become a global problem." He further added that "`Terror infrastructure by Pakistan has become the epicentre of global terror today. On a certain issue like terrorism the entire democratic world has to come together to persuade Pakistani leadership to act."
