New Delhi, Aug 15 (TIWN) Targeting Pakistan without naming it, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said India stands strongly against terrorism, and is presenting before the world the "true colours" of those who shelter and finance terrorism.

The move will allow Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh to play a meaningful role in India's development, Modi said while addressing the nation on Independence Day from New Delhi's 17th-century Red Fort.
