Should an Indian Minister ever describe Pakistan as a 'terrorist state'?

Four militants thought to be members of the group Jaish e-Mohammed launched a deadly three-hour assault on an army base near Uri in Kashmir. Uri is near militarised "line of control" that divides this long-contested region. At least 17 soldiers have been killed with around 35 injured. Indian 91Èȱ¬ Minister Rajnath Singh tweeted that "There are definitive and conclusive indications that the perpetrators of the Uri attack were highly trained, heavily armed and specially equipped. Pakistan is a terrorist state and it should be identified and isolated as such." Did he go too far? Should an Indian Minister EVER describe Pakistan as a "terrorist state"? Two callers share their views with Amol Rajan.
