DUBAI (Web Desk) – Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday asked Islamabad to choose between terrorism and humanity. Addressing a gathering of over 40,000 people at Dubai Cricket Stadium, Modi said the time has come for decisive action against terrorism.

Modi, who is the first Indian prime minister to visit the Arab nation in 34 years, said that both India and UAE have agreed to dismantle the terror infrastructure.
On the other hand Pakistani leadership have repeatedly said about significant proofs that India has been funding and training TTP members using a network of Indian consulates in Afghanistan along Pakistani border.

Pakistan has also repeatedly accused India of supporting Baloch rebels, outside Pakistan, some Western observers also believe that India secretly funds the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA).
