Earlier, in his meeting with Bahrain Interior Minister Rashid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa, Singh conveyed to him that terrorism emanating from Pakistan remains its most important concern and support from across the border has incited the current unrest in Jammu and Kashmir. Singh, who is on a three-day visit to the Gulf country, apprised Abdullah about Islamabad’s open support and participation to glorify slain Hizbul Mujahideen militant Burhan Wani in Pakistan, saying it indicates continued free movement that terrorists and their supporters enjoy there.
