The Uri terror strike is aimed at triggering fresh violence in Jammu and Kashmir and creating a “war-like” situation in the region, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti said, adding Jammu and Kashmir has always been the worst victim of Indo-Pak hostility and its people have been paying a colossal price for the same for the past over six decades.
Virtually blaming Pakistan for the Uri attack, BJP President Amit Shah said India’s fight against terrorism has reached a decisive stage and the Modi government is moving in the right direction to ensure that the sacrifices of soldiers does not go waste.
RSS General Secretary Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi said terrorists as well as their masters and supporters should be dealt with firmly and conclusively.
Former J and K chief minister Omar Abdullah while condemning the attack said better facilities including “fire retardant” tents should be given to the soldiers after it came to light that at least 13 jawans died due to the fire in their tents.
