Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that terrorists will be killed, no matter where they hide. He also asked opposition not to question the valour of the armed forces.

"Chun-chun ke hisaab lena, ye meri fitrat hai… (It is my nature to give a fitting reply) woh agar saatven pataal mein bhi chupe hon, toh kheench kar nikaal kar maarunga (Even if they hide deep inside the Earth, I will drag them out and eliminate them)," Modi said during a programme in Ahmedabad.

Slamming the opposition, Prime Minister Modi said that their statements make headlines in Pakistani newspapers and are lauded in Pakistan's Parliament.

Modi added, "Was there any election when we conducted the surgical strike for the first time? We have been affected by terrorism for the last 40 years. I don't care for power. I am only concerned about my country's security."
