New Delhi: A week after terrorists belonging to Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM) terror group carried out a deadly strike in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama killing 40 CRPF soldiers, Home Minister Rajnath Singh has dropped a big hint with regard to the action the government is planning against the neighbouring country.

As the outrage over the Pulwama attack continued to grow in the country, Rajnath Singh said "time will come" there will be "fulfilment" to people's sentiments and expectations. The minister was speaking at an event in Delhi and said that post the Pulwama incident, "mood is still not that one can participate in any programme with enthusiasm".

"But, I am very assured and I want to assure you that time will come when people's sentiments today, their desires, their expectations... those expectations will have fulfilment," he said.

The minister refused to elaborate on his statement that came amid demands of revenge for the Pulwama terror attack. Forty CRPF jawans lost their lives as a JeM terrorist rammed an explosives-laden SUV into a huge convoy of the CRPF in the afternoon of February 14.

Massive protests and candlelight marches across the country have followed the terror attack. There has been a common demand that India should take revenge for the terror attack on the lines of the surgical strikes conducted in 2016 following the Uri Army camp terror strike.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his first reaction, had said that the Army has been given a free hand to take action in the manner they choose and the time they decide.
