Speaking during an event organised to commemorate the 16 Corps’ golden jubilee, Sinha said the government has a clear-cut policy on dealing with terrorism: not to spare any terrorist, and not touch any innocent.”

“They (terrorists) are out to cause destruction at the behest of our neighbouring country. To deal with them, we have to increase vigilance,” he said.

“The person who hands over a gun to a terrorist is as much a terrorist as is the gun-totting ultra,” he said.

“Both should be dealt with similar punishments,” he said.
