Ghaziabad: Union Minister and former Army chief V K Singh on Friday said he was happy Pakistan released Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, but the neighbour needs to do a “lot more” to fight terrorism.

The Centre is taking “appropriate measures” and “such steps are not revealed”, the minister of state for external affairs told reporters on the sidelines of an event in his Lok Sabha constituency when asked about the Centre’s next step amid the escalating tension betw­e­en India and Pakistan.

“Returning #WingCommanderAbhinandan is a welcome move, however, it is the first of many steps that #Pakistan must take to reinforce their commitment to peace. We need an affirmative and verifiable action by Pakistan against terrorism,” he said in a tweet.
