Raman Bhalla said that the militancy has revived while BJP Govt. is making false claims.
The Govt. should take concrete steps to control militancy and save innocents. He said that such inhuman acts affects the normal lives of those who have nothing to do with these issues. He expressed sympathies with the bereaved families and prayed for early recovery of the injured.
He further said that the abrupt rise in terrorist attacks in the state is the result of non-consistent defense policy of BJP led NDA government at the Centre.

The present establishment must adopt a constructive, coherent and consistent policy for dealing with Pakistan.
Bhalla said the incidents of terror attacks continue and our army, security forces and police jawans are laying down their lives.
