Jammu and Kashmir Former Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Kavinder Gupta on Friday condemned the terrorist attack on a military vehicle in Baramulla and termed it as “very unfortunate” and “a cowardly act.”
Speaking to ANI, Jammu and Kashmir Former Deputy CM Gupta said, “It is very unfortunate and a cowardly act. The roots of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. However, Government and security agencies have worked a lot under ‘zero tolerance’ policy. But when such incidents occur, it is natural to be concerned.”
“It has to be understood that wherever they spot suspects, people will have to be a little active there as action has been taken against Over Ground Workers,” he added.
