Union Minister for Law and Judiciary, Ravi Shankar Prasad today asserted that India will respond immediately and a befitting reply will be given if Pakistan does any misadventure in the backdrop of the scrapping of article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.
India was well concerned and prepared over the security of its own territory and if Pakistan carries out any terror activity, it will be given a prompt and appropriate response, Prasad told reporters.
Reiterating that abrogation of article 370 was taken in the best interest of the country and was beneficial for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He said it was unfortunate that many important laws like the Prevention of Child Marriage Act were not applicable there. How can it be possible? Now the center was committed for the overall development of J & K and we are working for the people there.
