Pakistan is centre of all terror activities: Rajiv Pratap Rudy

JODHPUR: In the wake of the Pathankot Air Force base attack, Union Minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy today said Pakistan is the centre of all terror activities and that all countries will have to join hands to fight terrorism.

The Union Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, here to inaugurate the annual 'Pashchimi Rajasthan Udyog evam Hastshilp Utsav', said, "Pakistan is the centre of terror activities. The face of terrorism in the world Osama Bin Laden remained hidden in Pakistan... and now everybody knows this."

Talking to reporters, he said all countries in the world would have to join hands to fight terrorism.
