India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said his country “showcased its strength” and “proved its superiority” in clashes with Pakistan that brought the nuclear-armed neighbours to the brink of war.

Pakistan will have to get rid of its "terrorist infrastructure" if it wants to be "saved", Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday, his first comments on the military clashes with Pakistan since last week's deadly fighting between the two countries.

Prime Minister Narendra in his address to the nation on Monday evening noted that "the world has seen that dirty truth of Pakistan" referring to the incident where high rank officers of the Pakistanoi Army were paying homage to the terrorists killed by the Indian Army.
