On Tuesday a top Indian official condemned Pakistan stating that the country was trying to bleed India dry through a thousand cuts by threatening to attack Indian businesses; “This (Jihadi) brand of terrorism is primarily sponsored by our neighboring country in the west whose—- policy is to conduct war against India by all other means and bleed us through a thousand cuts. This naturally includes the targeting of anything…with a view to damaging, degrading or destroying the engines of economic growth and critical centers of power and strength of our country,” said U K Bansal, the internal security secretary of the Union Home Ministry; Bansal’s comments came as part of a speech in New Delhi
