JAMMU: Condemning the Pak sponsored terror attack at IAF Air Base in Pathankot, Harsh Dev Singh Chairman Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) slammed Pakistan for its despicable cowardly act to derail the dialogue process.
Singh said that Pakistan time and again raises its draconian head to disrupt the peace and harmony of the country by its persistent misadventures.
He said that talks and terror could not go together and GoI should shun its soft stand and act tough by taking stringent and deterrent action against the belligerent neighbour as the latter had always back stabbed India during the peace process.
He exhorted the international community to politically ostracise Pakistan by declaring it as a ‘Terror State’ and imposing sanctions upon it.
While taking a dig at the NDA Government, Singh regretted that the BJP which would harp on its jingoistic harangues and anti-Pak stance earlier had miserably retreated from its tall pronouncements.
He said that the soft stand by the Govt. of India had emboldened the terror organisations working with ISI in Pakistan to execute such an attack.
While paying tributes to the seven martyrs who laid down their lives for the Motherland during the gunbattle with the militants inside the air base, Singh expressed his solidarity with the bereaved families and hailed the valiant efforts of the NSG, Indian Army and IAF in thwarting the proxy attack by Pakistan.
He eulogised the heroics of the Indian security personnel at the time of crisis and wished them success in accomplishing their mission which was still under progress with pride, dignity and honour.
