CHANDIGARH:Training guns on Pakistan on Tuesday, Union home minister Rajnath Singh said the neighbouri­ng country was testing India’s patience over ceasefire violations.

“We want cordial relationsh­ip with Pakistan, but they are testing our patience now. I want to remind them, it is not the same India...we have now turned into a powerful country. They must mend their ways,” he said here.

Reacting to the statement of Azam Nasir Ul-Islam — who has been nominated as the next Grand Mufti of J&K — that Indian Muslims are living in a pathetic condition and only option for them is to separate, Singh said: “We should rise above caste and religion. I believe India is a secular country and people from every caste, creed and religion are safe here.”
