European Parliament vice-president Ryszard Czarnecki praised the Modi government and the Indian Army for their professional approach to a situation that was becoming graver by the day.

“The message that came out was loud and clear that India would no longer allow Pakistan to fuel cross border terrorism ,” the British-born Polish politician said in a signed article in EP Today, the monthly news magazine for the European Parliament.
