The presence of a large number of terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir indicates unabated infiltration from terror launch pads across the border.
India has suffered the scourge of cross border terrorism for decades losing thousands of lives, India's MoS for External Affairs said.
During the course of the hearing before Special NIA Judge Praveen Singh, Malik said: "I will not beg for anything. The case is before this court and I leave it on the court to decide it."
To a separate question, Minister of State for External Affairs Meenakshi Lekhi said the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism is promoting Indian culture worldwide through its cultural centres and missions abroad.
The investigation of the NIA has revealed that these four accused had conspired, procured and transported weapons from Bihar to Jammu and Kashmir via Punjab and Haryana for Lashkar-e-Mustafa (LeM) terrorist group in order to carry out terror activities in the UT of Jammu and Kashmir, especially in the Jammu region.
A large number of militant hardware that includes RDX, tiffin IEDs, associated explosive material for assembling IEDs, hand grenades, fire arms and also narcotics have been pushed by him across the international border mainly via drones and using his network of cross-border smugglers.
Indian counterterrorism forces, at the federal and state levels, actively detected and disrupted transnational and regional terror forces.
Both Pakistan and China were also invited by India, but they decided not to attend the meet.
The State Department said that the two sides "also discussed mutual legal and extradition".
In wake of the targeted killings, a new integrated security system will be in place in Kashmir Valley soon in coordination with the Indian Army and the central security agencies, the sources said here on Monday.
Rajnath Singh asserted that injustice, however powerful, cannot and will not defeat the collective power of the goodness that is inherent to human existence.
The meeting comes in the backdrop of the Delhi Police Special Cell's recent crackdown on a Pakistan's ISI sponsored terror module that was planning to carry out violent attacks in India.
"We discussed opportunities to work together in defence science and technology areas," Rajnath Singh said, inviting the Australian industry to take advantage of India's liberalised foreign direct investment policies in the defence sector.
The meeting, chaired by NSA Ajit Doval, also reviewed the regional and global political and security scenario with particular focus on current developments in Afghanistan as well as Iran and West Asia.
For the first time, a footage of a terror launch pad with active terrorists visible has been accessed. The proof shows that Pakistan is using the time to wage a proxy war against India.
