"India is an old civilisation and such a big country can never be intimidated by any such terror activities. Every Indian is united against this cowardly act. Not just those who perpetrated the attack, but even those who conspired from behind the scenes to commit such nefarious acts on the Indian soil will soon get an appropriate response," Singh said while delivering the annual Arjan Singh Memorial lecture.

Reiterating India's firm resolve of zero tolerance against terrorism, he said that the government will take "every necessary and appropriate step."
