Home Minister P. Chidambaram has warned Pakistan "not to play with India" by covertly sponsoring terrorists.
Addressing a public meeting in Madurai on Saturday, the minister said: "The Mumbai attacks (of November 2008) should be Pakistan's last game. I have warned the country not to play with India."
He mentioned that the terrorists and militants who are launching their attack will never be able to win. He also mentioned that they will also face retaliation from India.
These comments from the Union Home Minister comes just three days after Indian prime Minister Manmohan Singh has expressed his wish to maintain friendly relationship with Pakistan.
Chidamabaram also said that both Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) governments had underestimated the Maoists but insisted that they would not succeed in their actions.
He also mentioned that government will be holding talks with the Naxals, provided they shun violence.
According to him, Naxalites were "not enemies like Pakistani terrorists as they are our own countrymen".
