State-sponsored terrorism should be the talking point…the terrorists are trained across the border and sent to India to carry out attacks, Khan added.Khan made the comments when asked to express his views on the tweet of the Kerala Congress that said that more Muslims were killed in Jammu and Kashmir during 1990-2007 than Pandits.
